Coax Cable Installation Tool Set with Hip Pouch

Exactly what I expect from Klein—well-made tools that work well. This kit is for all RG59, RG6 and RG6Q cable, i.e. the included coax cable stripper is for RG59/6/6Q. The tool caddy (VDV011-852PBP) is nice, with a flat bottom so it will stand on it’s own, a sturdy belt clip, and two extra loops for additional tools. The multi-cable cutter (63020) has double-dipped handles that are comfortable. Note these are not insulated handles. The curved blade shear cutters work well, and they have included a steel wire cutter and an anvil cutter so you’re not tempted to wreck the copper-only cutting blades. Spring-loaded with a lock and spots to cut 6-32 and 8-32 machine screws. They work well and are comfortable to use. The VDV110-061 coaxial 2 level radial cable stripper is fantastic. There’s a depth gauge that toggles into position to make a perfect 5/16” conductor and ¼” sheathing strip. Easy to use and built from sturdy materials that can be dropped without affecting the protected cutting blades. The VDV212-008SEN F-connector compression crimper is easy to use. The coax conductor slips into a hole in the plunger to protect it, allowing for a hard press of the cable into the connector before crimping to make sure it’s seated all the way. That isn’t necessary with Klein’s connectors because they have windows to check seating, but this is a nice feature. Squeeze the handle until the connector is compressed and the cable is terminated and ready to go. Running cable without ends is so much easier, and there’s no chance of a cable getting hung up on a wall plate or stud hole, and there is no change of damaging a connector while it’s snaking through the house. This kit pays for itself for a DIY person wanting to install an antenna and get rid of their cable tv bill. The entire project—antenna, connectors and install kit—will be paid for after just a month of no cable bill. Awesome!

Coaxial Installation Tool Set with Molded Hip Pouch Until you actually have these well made tools in your hand, it is hard to see the quality through just the picture. Of course for those in the know, being they are Klein tools, tells you right away they are quality. Each tool moves smoothly to accomplish its very specialized purpose. The handles fit well in the hand for an easy grip and comfortable use. The free hip pouch, like the tools, is a quality item with a metal belt clip, not a cheep plastic holder. The holder organizes these tools and makes them very easy to spot among the many other tools we have in our garage storage.

This is a professional quality coax cable connector crimper. I've used these exclusively for my home theater installation business. For years, they've always performed flawlessly and I've never had one break. Bright yellow color makes them easy to find.

Tool compressed the fittings perfectly. The handles are comfortable during use. Tool appears to be well made.

Much easier to get coax insulation off. Good to have.

Klein tool resolved a needed project.
