Thank you for visiting our store.

We can all buy the $16 to $24 coax crimp tools with FREE shipping listed here on EBAY.
US Postal Service Shipping cost alone for a similar weight / size crimp tool will cost the seller a minimum of $8.
So when the shipping cost is deducted from the selling price, it leaves the actual tool's cost around $10 to $18. Then, the seller must pay the EBAY listing & selling fees and of course the seller should make a profit. So after the deductions for shipping, fees and profit, this means the tool cost the seller very little, perhaps in the range of $3 to $8. These cheap, low quality tools are mass produced in China and shipped to warehouses throughout the US in large volume.

The disappointment sets in the first time it's used as the buyer realizes just how flimsy the metal frame is, how poor the die cavity castings are, and realizes the thin rubber grips are the reason his hand hurts when crimping.

We can all also buy a superior quality tool at a fair price which is what we are offering and the reason we have sold nearly 5,000 on line and Hamfests without a single complaint or return.

Did you ever buy a crimp tool and then later become disappointed with the purchase?

I have. I've bought crimp tools with the die sizes "printed"  with ink on the metal body and in only a short time the print vanished leaving me to guess the cavity size. This can't happen with this quality tool as the die sizes are cast deeply into the metal for a lifetime of readability.

Did you ever begin the crimp sequence and then realize you were not actually fully prepared, and needed to stop before full compression was completed, only to realize you must complete the crimp cycle to release the tool?

This tool is forgiving! It has a release lever to interrupt the crimp cycle and release the connector. How clever! Many higher priced tools don't offer this feature.

Your purchase is for one (1) RFC 63-DL-801K Coax Cable Crimp Tool for a variety of coax cable sizes including RG-8, RG-9, RG-11, RG-174, RG-213, RG-214, 316, Belden 9913, LMR-400 and all 400 series & all RG-8 Type cables.

This professional quality ratcheting crimp tool, uses a 4 in 1 die with cavities ranging in sizes .075, .100, .128, and .429 inches, and places precise pressures (adjustable) for a perfect crimp every time.

Already have a tool frame and wondering if this die will fit it? Chances are very good it may. I have found it fits similar tool bodies made by IDEAL®, PALADIN® Eclipse® to mention a few.
Here are the dimensions for this die which will allow you to compare for fitment of your tool body:
Die Length: 1-1/2- inch (38.1-mm)
Die Height: 15/16-inch (23.8-mm)
Die Width: 7/64-inch (5.55-mm) (inside width of tool cavity)
Die Width: 7/16-Inch (11.11-mm) (overall width of Die)
Die Hole Distance: 15/16-inch (23.8-mm) (center to center)

RF Connector fitment by crimping is the preferred method of attachment by many manufacturing companies and individuals due to the quickness, quality and low cost of attachment. Expensive solder and soldering equipment is unnecessary with crimp/crimp type connectors.

Additionally, the new low loss coax cables such as the LMR series and others use gas-injected polyethylene dielectric (foam) which is very sensitive to heat.
Overheat the foam when soldering and it turns into a brown tarry substance, distorting the cable shape, changing the characteristic impedance of the cable which negatively effects transmission/reception. This dielectric distortion occurs mainly when attempting to solder the coax braid at the 4-holes in the body of a straight solder type PL-259 connector, especially if the connector body is nickel plated.
Quality connector fitment with no distortion of the coax can be quick and sure with this quality tool and quality connectors.
