Warning: I tried using a cheap knockoff compression tool on a job in Tempe last week.

The crimp failed after two days and the customer called back with a full signal drop. Switched back to my Klein CT100 and haven't had a single issue since. What's the one tool you guys absolutely won't cheap out on?

That's a solid warning right there. Gotta ask, what brand was the knockoff? Was it one of those no-name ones from the truck or a "pro" brand that just turned out to be junk? Knowing which one to avoid would help a lot of folks.

Eh, @lindagreen, probably not that big a deal.
