Hi guys, looking on getting 4 or so good quality ones, the last ones I bought theres just to much play in them due to the springs being a bit p#*h in simple terms. Open to any good eBay sellers as well as the mainstream sites, no Amazon though as I don't do Amazon. Cheers chaps.

For internal connections I like the CaP push on F type.
You can also colour code them with which colour boot you decide to use. I can take pics if you want?

Also these have 0 signal loss as they retain the existing centre conductor from the coax and are not adapters but a complete plug.

Yes please, can you attach a pic, and thanks in advance mate. These are the ones I have, the pressure in the spring rings are inadequate.IMG_20180330_014057_HHT_zpsjjitlqtp.jpg

I've never had much luck with them mate, they "Stretch" also as it's 2 pieces you potentially have signal degradation and the lower bit can work loose.

These look weaker but they aren't, I've never had one stretch and such a simple design.
You strip the coax correctly then slide the boot over the braid, you don't need the Pliers thing but the stripper is useful.
They also do Belling Lee (UHF TV) and BNC etc.

I don't use them outside though, only internally and on patch cables for setting dishes up.

Many thanks mate, just made up a patch lead for my meter with good quality larger nut f connectors for easier screwing on/off the LNB in the mean time.

Will be a pain in arse screwing the lead on & off but with the larger nuts it's a lot easier to do.
