TV Cable Wrench/Tool

Search turned up what I've already got:


Looking for wrench/tool for TV cable that has a collar at the connector nuts. The tool I have won't fit over the collar on the new TV cable I had to get.
  • I love the push on adapters, I have several in use in the 5er and S&B. :)

    X2 on the adapters. Have had no issues with them and they fit snugly, connections are solid and they don't slip off.

    X2 on the cresent wrench as well which we used for coax in the past.


    Add a standard open end 7/16" wrench to the mix as well.

  • I use the push on. They work great. Plus if I am parked along side of you in an RV park and hear you grumbing I will give you a couple. Pass out a few and loose a few on every trip.

    The fitting, BTW, takes a 7/16 wrench.
  • We got tired of screwing the TV cable into the RV outside RV connection and the campground connection. For a few bucks you can purchase screw in connectors to each end of your TV cable . This makes it possible to slide each end into of your TV cable into the RV & campground TV hookup. The adapters are available at Radio Shack & some Hardware stores.

  • I carry a 4 inch adjustable open end wrench ("crescent wrench") in my pocket. It has come in very hand many times for many things, not the least of which is connecting/disconnecting tv cables.
