yes that wrench is excellent when you have the wrong cable and the wrong connector. I mean that seriously, although not harshly. with Belden coax and snap-n-seal two piece units I never have any problem getting the connector on. It comes down to the precision in manufacturing. If you are working on a jobsite with X brand cable then that wrench can save some blisters for sure.

Proconnect used to have a different part# for quad shield. Are you all saying that the greeny is now universal? that's seems like BS to me.

The procon purple is for 24g and the orange is the proper unit for the Belden mini for the past two years. I did have a friend say that there is two different versions of the orange. One silver and one gold plated. He said the gold plated ones kicked his but and were junk. went back to the silver and no more problem. This is second hand so I may have the details wrong but it's worth following up on if you had gold consnectors.

I will say that I have a lot of trouble with the orange procon the first time or two that I used them. Once I got the spacing down and the feel for when everything was properly seated I have had no more proplems.

I found that there RG-59 universal BNC with the red band didn't fit on a 59 quad. The center conductor was a bit too big and didn't seat all the way in. But this proconnect worked fine with typical 20 ga Belden, west penn. Overall I'm pretty happy with proconnect for RCA and BNC, but I use Thomas and Betts, ppc, & digicon for F connectors.
