5.0 out of 5 stars Need to get Paladin Instructions!!!, June 25, 2009

This review is from: Paladin 4910 SealTite Pro Compression Cable TV "F" Kit wi th KT 8, LC CST, Flaring Tool, SealTite Pro and 10 RG6/RG6Q in Zipper Case (Tools & Home Improvement)

The kit is great, but it is incredible that my factory-sealed box had ZERO instructions inside... the quick info outside is totally inadequate (although the photos are nice enough).

You can get very good instructions in a Paladin document from
<http://www.paladin-tools.com/view_library.php>
and click on the link for "Title:Operations Guide". Inside are instructions for a bunch of tools... the key ones in the kit are the 1257 Stripper, and the 1555 Crimper, PLUS the section on the SealTite Cable TV "F" Connectors.

The most glaring "missing info" is that the silver "head" unscrews from the adjustable shaft, and reverses for use with the "F" connectors packed in the box. In other words, the tool is NOT set up for the included connectors. Once you reverse the head, adjust the shaft most of the way in until the front edge of the large knurled knob is on the "6" line (per the instructions in the linked manual above). That eliminates most of the guesswork.

If Paladin had a how-to video, it would be worth 10,000 words!

5.0 out of 5 stars At last a universal crimp tool that is a good deal, December 25, 2008

Previously you had to purchase what seemed like a different tool for every coax type connector. Paladin finally made a truly universal tool that handles rca (with the center pin), normal CATV, and BNC plus handle both rg-59 and rg-6. I've had other so called universal tools that could not do bnc because of the connector size, but paladin made room to get it in and out of the tool.

This kit is a good deal because you get alot of prep tools in one outfit.

Be aware that paladin connectors are great quality but are priced accordingly. they come in 10 packs, 50 packs, and I've seen a 100 pack so if you do alot of terminations, shop around for the best sized package of connectors and be sure that the connectors are matched to your cable.

Note that Rg-6 and rg-6 quad shield both use the same connector.

I have used all types of crimpers. Most use proprietary connectors, dies, etc. This takes all into account and allows for adjustment on the fly to use ALL types of RCA, BNC and F-Type compression connectors. I certainly like this and will add more to the arsenal for all my guys.
