TIL crimping vs soldering coax ends... there is no contest

Spent 3 years soldering every connector on job sites thinking it was more professional, finally tried a good crimper on a big 50-unit apartment complex last week and cut my time by almost half per connection. Has anyone else switched and never looked back?

Funny how we get stuck in the "hard way is better" mindset until something proves it wrong. Same thing happened to me with hand tools versus power tools in weird tight spots. Crimping is just one of those things where the right tool actually makes the job better, not just faster.
