Re: [OT] F type TV connectors

The problem with twisting the braid to make a better connection is
that those screw on type f connectors are buggers to get on at the
best of times.

With a large lump of braid you will defo rip your fingers and thumbs
to shreads no matter how much lube you use.

IMO Cut any foil away and just fold the braid back over the outer
jacket and screw on the connector.

Or do a proper job and use a crimp or even better compression connector!
