Abstract
A tool for installing compression connectors of various sizes and types on the end of a coaxial cable has a base mounting a pair of movable anvils for engaging two different lengths of connectors. A slidably mounted plunger cooperates with the anvils to compress a connector. The plunger has a push head, an adjustment knob and a slide rod. The push head and adjustment knob are movable relative to one another and have first and second end faces with different outside diameters. An end face with the appropriate diameter for a particular connector can be placed in an operative position where it will engage a connector.
