I have been doing this sort of thing for over 45 years and know that your wrist artery is too close to that very sharp dangerous blade.
You need to read up on safety at work and apply those rules accordingly.
By the way...do those shirts come in different colors?

I don't like this reducer thing....
Coax jacket is free to rotate inside the reducer with no long-lasting result.
I prefer the threaded "per cable" connector , where it have to be screwed along the jacket.
Soldering holes are the most problematic action as you can melt the cable before solder fixes to body
I usually tin the holes and the braid with solder prior to insert the cable and let them cool
When coax inserted, soldering is a quick moment...

Good Video. Question though? I have a weird PL-259 connector. Like most of the other videos, people solder the solid or stranded core to the hollow pin connector. My connector is rounded at the end and sealed. The inside of the connector where the coax goes up into has a little pin sticking out. I guess this is a solderless type of a connector. Don't know how to use it or install my RG-8 to it. Any suggestions? Have you seen solderless PL-259 connectors before?

Great video! I was a c.b.er in the 1960's to 1981 and then got married. The rest is history. I just bought a mobile c.b. unit for my truck and I could not exactly remember how I installed a 259 connector back in the day. This was a great help.

Great video this is the same way I prep and solder my PL-259 to RG-8X and I never have a problem. Everyone does their connectors differently and everyone thinks their way is better. What it comes down to is how well the connector works. Plain and simple.

Applying so much heat to the holes will almost guarantee the foam dielectric to melt to; chances are high that the outer jacket will find its way to touch the inner conductor. It is better to slide the reducer over the folded back braided outer jacket, and only soldering the tip to the inner conductor. The connection the reducer makes with the outer jacket this way is as good, and there is no solder stiffening up any strands so they never break. This from a guy who has been doing this 25 years.
