What RG6 connectors do I need?
I have a roll of double insulated RG6 and a big supply of black connectors. I have a stripper similar to professional installers and the compression tool. My problem is that I can't get the connectors...

The OP claims he has "double insulated". I assume he meant double shielded. The stripper should expose 1/4 inch of center conductor and strip a 1/4 inch of the outer jacket which leaves one foil shield and one braided shield. Fan the braid back so that it folds over the outer jacket. Do a search on YouTube for videos on how to attach F type compression connectors if you are still having problems.
I suspect the braid/foil isn’t fanned back correctly. That part is tedious and painful but must be done before attempting the crimp. Once prepped, the cable should slide into the connector with no resistance.
