Abstract
A driver tool for coaxial cable connectors is provided. The tool can drive both F-series coaxial cable connectors having a hex sleeve and BNC coaxial cable connectors having a bayonet sleeve. The driver tool has a socket which includes a first drive surface in the form of a plurality of flat segments formed on the socket and engageable in rotationally interlocking relation with the hex sleeve of an F connector. The socket also has a second drive surface in the form of a collar sized for frictional engagement in rotationally interlocking relation with the bayonet sleeve of a BNC connector. A longitudinal slot in the sleeve accommodates a coaxial cable. A handle and shaft connect to the socket.
