If I bought RG-6 coax from HD or Lowes, can I strip it and crimp connectors on in store ?

[deftron]

Need to get some long coax sold by length
at Lowes or Home Depot ..


Anyone know if they can strip the ends and crimp connectors in store
or have the tools available for use ?


I dont have a stripper or crimper and didn't really want to buy one.

I could use a knife to strip it I guess and pliers to crimp but it would
be pretty ghetto and I'd like a tight connection cause I'm gonna use this
for subwoofer cable.

Yes, they have stripping tools and crimping tools available.

EDIT: of course you have to buy them. stop being such a cheapskate. :thumbsdown:

No, they sell it in lengths with connectors already though

The stripper/crimper is 10 bucks at best buy.
