Comments about Cables To Go 3-in-1 Compression Tool:

Difficult to press the ground compression ring into the fitting straight. It almost has to be a two-handed operation to be effective, holding the work in front of you, one handle in each hand and trying to press each handle equally. The O-rings are deformed on every end, and I've had some of the ground rings break after compression.
