Abstract
A hand held plier type tool for connecting type F connectors to coax cable includes tool-jaws with stations for crimping F connector ferrules as well as a station for gripping the end of the cable. A loosely assembled F connector and cable assembly is held in position by the cable gripping station where a clamp screw mechanism is employed to force the F connector's barb under the jacket of the coax cable. One embodiment of the tool includes too-jaws and clamp mechanism that are separate and replaceable to a set of plural handles.
