Guy on my crew in Tulsa asked why I still crimp RG6 with a cheap tool, and it finally made sense
He said a bad crimp means a callback, and a callback means I lose money on the whole job. I bought a $45 compression tool the next day and haven't had a single loose fitting in 3 months. Anyone else figure this out the hard way too?

A $45 tool saving you the whole job because of one loose fitting seems like a stretch unless you were losing callbacks left and right before. Most of my loose fittings came from bad prep or cheap connectors, not the crimp itself.
