Looking for recommendations on good crimpers for RG59 or 6, BNC. I find
myself going with the 3-piece BNC crimp connectors but would take something
else if "better". Thanks.

Forgot to write...... if anyone can recommend a crimp frame & die set for a
particular male BNC connector(or series) I'd appreciate it. The electronics
places around here, I don't count Radio Shack, aren't too up on their tools.
Thanks again.

I've got this one, it works well:

Buddy of mine picked up a complete kit from this same store, a ratcheting frame
and dies for just about everything imaginable, coax, modular, etc., all in a
hard case, for <$100.

Everyone I've talked to who uses compression connectors swears by them and would
never go back... might wanna look into that as well. A little more expensive,
but well worth it, from what I'm told (never tried them myself, still trying to
talk the boss into bucking up for a starter kit).
