BNC Crimp Tool Set, BNC/TNC Ratched Crimp Plie and Rotary Coaxial Cable Stripper with 10pcs BNC Male Crim Connectors for RG58

It may not be a "professional" ratchet crimper, but for the hobbyist or infrequent user, and at the price point paid, this crimping tool, complete with 10 RG58 BNC connectors can't really be faulted!I admit that I will not be using this item very often, and have not needed to terminate crimp on BNC connectors previously - but this kit has allowed me to easily and successfully put a male BNC connector onto an extremely short (less than 7cm long), piece of RG58 coax cable that had been left remaining after the main length of cable was cut off from a vintage piece of kit by some thoughtless previous owner.(With the particular item concerned, and due to the original termination point being potted in resin, it is physically impossible to remove that short length of cable and re-terminate a new cable directly at the origin).The new connector was very easy to install. - Firstly stripping off the necessary amounts of cable sheath and inner separator sheath for the centre core, then soldering the brass centre core pin, adjusting the outer mesh core, crimping the ferrule with the ratchet crimping tool, and finally heating the heat shrink tube to complete the connector assembly.Testing with a multi-meter confirmed that the cores were not shorted out, and that there was good electrical continuity as necessary.I can only say that the BNC connectors are of perfectly adequate quality, and are very easy to connect to the cable.I would recommend this kit for anyone needing to fit BNC connectors to RG58 cable.

I do some networking computer work and occassionally some related AV work which invariably includes 'old tech' and some of that entails crimping bnc connectors onto RG58 cable. This tool may not be needed every time I work but I am sure it will be very useful from time to time. Having the correct tool makes working with networks and cables so much handier.

Stripper can not work well

Its a nice piece of kit for a DIY person. Grateful to get this and its worked a treat.

This tool simply doesn't work!! The crimping holes are either to big or to small and the pins on the tool fell out as well, went in the bin

Excellent value, BNC Crimp tool, Coax stripping tool and RG58 crimp connectors. The addition of10 x RG59 crimp connectors would completed an already good buy.

The packaging is generic and it is not clear which part of the tool should be used. Wasting a few RG58 connectors the best I could do was use the .213 for the outer and .069 for the pin. I am not sure that the die is made to a high enough tolerance, as the centre pin was deformed. The stripping tool says you need 8 for RG58, but it didn't strip too well, so back to the knife and cutters. Shame.

Great crimping tool that’s good value for the price. Smooth crimping action and pretty well made. Very quick delivery!
