Why does nobody talk about how many people still use the wrong compression on RG6 fittings?

I've seen at least three jobs this month where someone crimped a fitting meant for solid core onto a braided cable, and the signal drop was obvious once I checked it with my meter.

Yeah, it's a constant headache. I finally bought a separate crimper for each type and color coded the handles with tape. It costs a bit more up front, but it completely stops that mix up on the truck. The right tool for the job just saves so much call back time.

Smart move, honestly.
