Tool identity & Use?

[Mark Hancock]

Anyone have any idea what this is?

I've googled it and found it's a Hex Crimp tool for CATV/MATV/STV cables but I'm none the wiser :roll:

Thanks Jacob. I must have missed that :roll:

I think it's for crimping computer cable plugs. The ones that the Internet comes down.

Hi computer cables, both Rj11 and RJ45 use a totally different crimp tool. The one above is to put crimp plugs onto the end of satellite or cable tv antenna leads like the ones on the back of a Sky box.

Here's a pic of a RG6 crimp

It may do BNCs as well, as they're similar sized cables and usually crimped to a hexagon.

My BNC crimp cost me around £80 about 20 years ago (RS, I think), so I doubt that one's cheap, although the price is usually in inverse proportion to the popularity.

Quit right - tools made in tiny quantities may or may not be well made, but they WILL be expensive

Thanks guys for the information. I think I now know what it's for so little use to me.

You think you know?! What other information are you waiting on to be sure?
