Abstract
A tool for installing compression connectors of various sizes and types on the end of a coaxial cable has a base mounting at least one movable anvil for engaging at least one length of connector. The base further incorporates a fixed anvil for engaging at least a second length of connector. The movable anvil defines an aperture or exit surfaces shaped to permit easy entry and exit of a cable while still applying a suitable retention force to an inserted cable. A slidably mounted plunger cooperates with the anvils to compress a connector.
