Easy-on PL-259 Connectors

My quandary is over.
Decided to order a crimping tool and some crimp style PL-259's. Just as RPC suggested.

Thanks.

You have no idea the true power of the dark side.. but you are about to experience it.

If you’re not 100% satisfied return it to me for a full refund, even though you didn’t buy it here. I’ll buy it from you if you aren’t happy. You can’t beat that.

Holy cow. Thanks!
Although I suspect it'll be the answer to my dreams and I'll be hanging on to it.
Even I can squeeze a couple of grips together without messing up too badly.

You will. I love mine. I gathered up all the solder-on 259’s I had and tossed them in the trash. Just buy quality ends and you’ll be happy.

Personally not a fan of the twist on Pl-259's. I find that the gage of the braid (single wire gage) is not very strong. Wouldn't be surprised to find 50% of the single wires making up the braid broken after install.

My 2 cents.
