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.
He (I) have a single layer of braid over, what looks like, a layer of aluminum foil. I guess that's double shielded. When I use my little stripper tool it looks beautiful. Then the battle begins. Once I get the stinger exposed beyond the threaded part the battle is over. The compressing part is a snap.
