[QUOTE="Channel Hopper, post: 1058229, member: 175144"] Personally I think a compression connector design is overkill for something that can be achieved with a crimp design. Neither can be reused (well they can but that is the ghost of the Yorkshireman behind me) and so it all boils down to the purchase cost and tools required. The crimp tool I own must be getting on for 30 years now and still has no play in the levers/pivot points. I would need to buy a compression tool for a product that costs ten times as much. With the advent of LNBs with a drop down sleeve there is also little need for amalgamating tape either. [/QUOTE]
