Pro tip: I swapped my crimper for a compression tool after burning through 47 fittings on one job
I was finishing a 6-unit run in Mesa last month and kept getting loose F connectors that failed my meter check, so I counted my scrap pile and it was 47 bad fittings on one property. Switched to a compression tool mid-job and my failure rate dropped to zero on the next 60 connections, which honestly surprised me since I figured crimping was faster. Have you guys found compression worth the extra time on tight retrofits, or am I just working with a bad crimper?
