Coaxial Hex Crimp Tool

Used for - This is an essential tool for anyone needing to crimp or fit any form of hex type connectors such as BNC, aerial or f-type screw on connectors. They would usually be applied to RG59 or RG6 cable but our crimping tool will crimp onto most (not all) types of coaxial cable.

Useful Features – Our high quality, professional crimp tool is extremely easy to use, a comfortable hand grip has also been installed to avoid causing any discomfort after extended use. There is a handy locking mechanism that keeps everything compact and safe when the crimpers are in your toolbox and it is built to last down to its heavy duty construction.

Directions – First, slide the metal barrel supplied with the connectors you have down the coaxial cable, it is important that you do this first. You will then need to strip the PVC outer layer without damaging the core inside, you can do this with one of our cable strippers but if you are confident with a pair of snips/pliers, you can strip the outer layer away with one of those. 

Having removed enough insulation, you will see the silver/copper coloured wire net/braid around the internal insulation. Fold this braiding back over the outer PVC layer and then remove any foil shielding. 

You can now insert a connector over the top of the prepared cable so that the internal insulation is flush with the hole in the connector, insert the cable into the crimp tool and close all the way. Now trim any excess copper away from the top of the connector (depending on the type of connector used). Your coaxial connector is now securely crimped in place.
