What about this compression tool from F, BNC, RCA,...

I'm getting ready to cable our house and found this tool that will do F, BNC, RCA, right angled and keystone module compression connectors.

Compression Tool

Coax Cable Stripper

Also looking for recommendation on tool for terminating CAT5e.

Don't know much about compression, just bought one at Home Depot and it worked fine (I believe it was an "Ideal" brand).

For Cat5e cable ends look into the "EZ RJ-45" Tool.

Not familiar with that specific toolset, but compression is basic basic stuff. A good stripper is important though.

I usse a Paladin Coax stripper and compression tool and am happy with it. It looks a lot like the one you show.

I 2nd BSR's EZ Rj-45 tool with the feed through connections. I had never made RJ45 ends before and it's enough of a pain even with this great tool. I can't image doing it when you cannot feed the conductors through the RJ45 plug.

I'm not familiar with that specific compression tool either. But it does look similar to the Paladian 1555 universal compression tool. The main thing is that you want a tool that adjusts to all different sizes and shapes of compression fittings. You certainly don't want to have to buy several tools because they don't adjust and you need several cable sizes or different types of fittings.

Where is a reasonable place to get the Paladin Coax stripper and compression tool along with that EZ RJ-45? With those 3 tools I should be set to make CAT5e, RJ11, RG6 QS, (for stand alone cables or terminating into keystones)?

Thanks for the input keep it coming.
