Pro'sKit500-001 Coax Crimping Kit, Crimp Frame, 5 Dies, Rotary Stripper, Multi, One Size

I bought this kit because I needed to crimp smaller diameter King connectors for Belden SDI coax cable. The dies are well calibrated, and the crimping tool is rugged and works well. After using this crimping tool, I decided to swap out several different crimping tools I carry in my service truck with this kit.

Love these crimper shave used them on several different sizes of coax and the crimps are always perfect.

The cutter does not work well. Everything else does as it should.

Seems well built and gets the job done well.

I bought this to replace an identical kit that was stolen. I do a lot of radio installs and use this all the time. Of all the things the thieves stole this is the one item I immediately replaced.

Works

Just received this item and have used a tool similar to this one for work on fiber and coax. The item works great however it is the case quality that makes this item not what it could be, it is made of a light plastic which I think will crack and break up over time and it it not the quietest case because of this, you can hear the items moving around inside. The top of the case is padded but it is not thick enough to hold the dies in place in the plastic holder so when you open it everything is all mixed up. There is room below the cable cutter for some small items and maybe even a small backup coax cutter. I expect it to perform as it should but hope to find a different case to put the parts in, maybe one with a hard formed foam on the bottom and a thicker foam pad on the top.
