How do I terminate a Belden 1505F coaxial cable with Canare RCAP-C42 RCA plug? (2 Viewers)

[2Charlie]

I found and old thread on this forum regarding the Belden 1505F coaxial cable. I just ordered the Canare RCAP-C42 RCA plug and it should be here in about a week or two. I don't see that thread mentioned any crimping tool to terminate the cable. This is a one time use so I was wondering what are my options to terminate this cable using the Canare RCAP-C42 RCA plug. If I have to use a crimping tool to make my life easier, what are some cheap ones that I can purchase? I have searched videos on YouTube but found no videos regarding the Belden 1505F coaxial cable with Canare RCAP-C42 RCA plug terminator. Any help is much appreciated.

Do you have a crimping tool for coax/ F connector? I usually just use a good F to RCA adapter. MUCH cheaper than termination tools which I also have.

I actually prefer compression connectors to crimped ones. There is a little wrench type tool you use to compress the connector, which is like this...

Here's the compression tool, with a coax stripper and some regular cable connectors.
