F connector crimper...

[Jeßus]

I'm chasing one of these and not likely to find one locally.

Jaycar and DSE have none in stock either (mind you, the DSE one was
all of $5 so I guess it wouldn't last very long anyway).

Can anyone suggest a reasonable quality crimper available online at a
reasonable price?

Many thanks.

**WES Components have several different kinds. I have two or three of
them. They all work fine. They've lasted well.

Part # HT518 ($21.50 trade price) is a very impressive, simple, compact
tool. Only suits a specific type of connector. I love it.
Part # HTH510B ($42.50 trade price) is more versatile, but more costly
and fiddly to use.
They have a large range of standard crimpers to suit F connectors. I
have a couple of them. They work well, but I have standardised on the
HT518 where possible.

www.wes.net.au Go to section 10.

Thanks very much for that Trevor, they sound ideal.

I'm just trying to get my head around their site... I'm trying to
apply for a customer number - but one of the required fields to get
that is my 'WES Customer Number'... umm, yeah.

**Better that you call them on Monday. They're open today, but only for
retail biz I think. If you want one of their tools and can't be bothered
jumping through hoops, let me know and I'll order one and post to you.
Dunno what the retail prices of their stuff is. You can have it for my
cost + postage.

Thanks very much for that Trev, I'll call them tomorrow and if that
proves a hassle I'll get back to you. Cheers.
