Jonard Tools CT-200, Universal Compression Tool with Dual Head for Coaxial Cable F Connector

I ordered 5 units in total, however just received 4 units in total. 3 in one package. 1 in another package. Refunded 1 item right away. Nice tools

delivery was so and so. first item lost after 21 days since dispatch, second item arrived by express delivery the next day after talking to amazon customer service. great people over there btw. my advice: use express delivery service! the item itself contains plastic handles bolt onto steel frame and some aluminum alloy parts (universal adapter and the rotary wire guide). not so good, those are exactly the pressure points involved in the compression process. hope they will last, otherwise the tool will become useless. made in taiwan, under US pattent. you also need a cable stripper , buy a good one, it counts for about 50% of the job. avoid chinese stuff. the compression dial is helpful, takes a bit to get used to, so prepare to ruin a plug or two in the training process. i give 4 stars out of 5, because of the mixed construction materials. 5/5 is for all steel pro tools. this is semi-pro in my opinion, but is better built than the rest out there.

great tool exceptionally rugged and compact

This is a professional-quality tool that should last forever. It has two extra features that other cheaper brands don't have. Most importantly, the "stroke" of the compression action is adjustable. There are different kinds of compression fittings, including full-size and mini-size, and they require different settings for the compression stroke. The knurled screw easily adjusts the tool to fit different length coax fittings. The tool also has a triple head that can be switched for F, BNC, or RCA fittings, plus the usual rotating collar at the end for BNC or F/RCA. I have made-up lots of coax fittings around the house using cheap twist-on connectors, and not only does it take a long time, but the quality and durability is always questionable. The Jonard tool is super-fast (literally a few seconds to compress the fitting), and the professional-quality fittings are much more durable in the long run. I bought a bag of PPC EX6XL coax fittings along with this tool; they are not expensive, are very good quality, and are very easy to use and compress. I also got the Jonard UST-500 cable stripper, which works well and greatly speeds up the process of terminating coax.

I shopped long and hard for a quality compression tool for installing cable F- connectors. I settled on the Jonard CT-200 Universal Compression Tool because it had the most versatility, was adjustable and had the best reviews of all the compression tools I looked at, even though it was in the upper end of the price range for this type of tool. I was not disappointed. The tool is very easy to use and is very dependable in that every fitting I have made is sturdy, tight and complete. I had to use tool while on a stepladder on my roof installing an AM-FM radio antenna. I also bought the Jonard tool holder and other cable tools, and in combination with this compression tool, I was able to easily and safely make the necessary cable connections while I was 30 feet in the air.
