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...

My compressor is adjustable. I also have one of the automatic trimmers that just take a few twists around the finger. I never have a problem with the compressing. It's just a major battle getting the coax shoved in place. I usually, if at home, place the hex into my bench vice and use pliers and my whole body to force the coax in place. As I said, I have a bunch of connectors with black plastic sleeves that I thought were the correct ones. I have most of a 1000' roll of coax and want to order a whole bunch of connectors that fit.
When I watch the pros fit these they don't do anything extra with the braid. I have tried folding it back but it doesn't seem to help much, if at all.
