yup, but you have to use crimp on connecters which can be a pain and a bit
unreliable as compared with soldered coaxial connecters.
However, for a blind guy, they are great if you aren't comfortable with
soldering.
The different coax size dies make it a snap each time, and the crimping tool
is ratcheted so it makes the crimping easy too.
Buy the cutting and stripping tool as well as this makes the entire process
really simple.
It is set up to strip the outer jacket, and center conducter the precise
amount to fit into the pieces of the crimp on connecter.
A bit of out lay of cash for the entire kit, and the connecters aren't cheap
either, but certainly the way to go if your not comfortable with soldering.
