The length of travel in the tool should be sufficient to handle most, if not all, RG6 compression connectors. I bought some Belden connectors that were supposed to be suitable for RG6 quad cable, but the cable end of the connector was not as wide as the Klein quad connector's. I returned the Belden connectors and had great success with the Kleins. After cutting away the jacketing with a Klein radial coax cable stripper and peeling back 3 of the 4 shields with the flathead screwdriver on my Swiss Army knife, the inserting of the stripped cable in the Klein connector is fast and pretty much goof proof. You have to apply some force when inserting the cable into the connector, but after you push a dozen or so it becomes natural. Crimping the connector with the Klein compression tool (VDV212) takes 2 or 3 seconds: 1 to 2 seconds to verify the alignment, and 1 second to crimp. **Q: Need help getting the right connectors. What indoor connectors work well with this. What weatherproof ones also.** A: Almost any compression type of connector will work, the good point to this tool is that it adjusts for the slightly different lengths in the top line outdoor waterproof types and the indoor types, that are a little shorter. I buy my connectors at Lowes if I am in a hurry, or online at Amazon or Ebay for a much better price. **Q: made in USA?** A: I have one and it says "Made in China or Taiwan" on the packaging. **Q: Does the connector need to be snug and tight inside the slot for an ideal crimp? If I don't allow a tiny gap I won't be able to get the connector in.** A: I leave a small gap to allow the connector to be inserted and removed. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works Perfectly, But You Need The Right Cable and Connectors. Trust me, I know. *by on Reviewed in the United States November 21, 2023* The Compression Crimper is easy to use and works perfectly. With stiff cable it helps to hold the connector in place with your finger. The reason some people cannot get a good crimp is that There Are Different Sizes (diameters) of RG6 cable. I was in the industry from 1987-1992 selling CATV parts. RG6 is sold with a single shield, double, tri-shield and quad-shield. Most of the compression connectors are large enough for triple, some are made for Quad-shield. Those connectors will slip right off of narrower cable. As I recall, I sold crimp on connectors in .342, .357, .372 and .388 barrel diameters.So, you need to buy Quad shield cable and Quad connectors, or smaller connectors with smaller cable. I purchased Klein Tools VDV812-606 connectors for RG6/6Q and Cables Direct Online 100ft White Quad Shield RG6 Coax Cable. The Klein Tools stripper prepared the cable perfectly, and the tool made perfect connections. Incidentally, I had never used compression connectors before. The instructions were perfectly clear and I had no trouble figuring out how to use the tool. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sliced Bread! *by on Reviewed in the United States August 27, 2021* Methinks Amazon or Amazon's customers have mixed in reviews of different Klein RG-6 Compression Crimpers and perhaps the anvil design has changed after the May 7, 2009 date first available and Nov 2020. This review is for the one I received on Aug 27, 2021.I have an old trustworthy circa 2005 Sargent 3195CT Ratcheting Snap-N-Seal Installation Tool that cost a little more than three times what this one does... It certainly is much heavier duty, but unfortunately it only works for connectors that have a groove just above the hex rotatey thing with threads in it. And I got some Gilbert GF-EFC-6 RG6 Compression Connectors that do not have the groove. Boo Hoo Hoo...The anvil appears to be indestructible and non-adjustable. It did a great job on both Snap-N-Seal and Gilbert connectors, so it appears that Klein has it set to work with most popular compression connectors. See pictures.Highly Recommended! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Compact Crimper vs Extended Reach *by on Reviewed in the United States March 21, 2026* UPDATE: Just buy the compact crimper. Honestly the extended reach one is INFURIATING if you are using the WS weather seal connectors (with the rubber on the end of the connector, EX6WS/EX6XLWS). You have to keep dialing it out a bit or really struggle to get the connector in. And then it doesn't compress all the way. The compact crimper with XL connectors is perfect, every single time. Fully compressed. Absolutely 0 struggle to get the connector in. No adjusting it.I bought both the compact crimper and the extended reach crimper just to compare. I'll use the extended reach in the field and the compact at home.Here's what I learned and I hope it helps you. First, the cheap red handled crimper and the compact Klein are one hundred percent identical.HOWEVER, if you are using a compact crimper, you MUST use XL size connectors. I highly recommend Belden PPC EX6XLPLUS and EX6XLWSPLUS. Just make sure it has XL in the name.If you try to use non-XL connectors with the compact compression tool, it WILL NOT seal all the way.For non-XL connectors, that is where the extended reach crimper comes in. Close the handle, adjust the end so the tippy tip part is around 19-20mm, tighten it up, and you're ready to go. Of course, having to constantly re-adjust for XL connectors and not is a pain. So in some cases it would definitely be faster to just carry both tools, and use the compact for XL connectors.I'd like to try the mid-grade adjustable crimper as well just to see what's different about it. ## Frequently Bought Together - Klein Tools VDV212-008-SEN Compact Compression Crimper, F-Connector - Klein Tools VDV110-061 Radial Cable Stripper, Coaxial Cable Stripper - THE CIMPLE CO Coaxial Cable Connector, 10 PCS, RG6 Compression Fitting, Water Tight O Ring, Indoor/Outdoor, F81, F-Type, 75 ohm, 3 ghz, Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/24224009-klein-tools-vdv212-008-sen-compact-compression-crimper-f-connector](https://www.desertcart.in/products/24224009-klein-tools-vdv212-008-sen-compact-compression-crimper-f-connector) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-09-04*
