Yep, they can be 'yanked' off, but you have to pull real hard. LOL

Sounds like you've done that before Robbo :D

Yes, those two work well enough on wf100/RG6.

Not sure about RG58 though which has a characteristic impedance of 50 ohms or RG59 for that matter.

Should do well. Those are compression not crimp.

For smaller diameter cables, the compression tool will still work, I use compression connectors for WF-65-cu shotgun cable: CABELCON CX3 Compression `F` Conn 0.65mm

Not sure about RG59, apart from CCTV, can't see many uses for it.

Might be worth considering the Cabelcon self install connectors also; no crimp or compression tool req. Use them a fair bit now, good quality.

5.1 for Wf100 type.

Hi can you pm me details on where i could buy these connectors, they look very good and would like to use them.
