Finally switched from coax compression to crimp connectors for RG6

After 8 years of using compression fittings on every job, I decided to give crimp connectors a try on a new build in Austin last week. My buddy swears by them and kept telling me I was wasting time with the compression tool. I was skeptical at first, but after 50 terminations, I noticed the crimp connectors held tighter and took about 15 seconds less per end. No signal loss issues so far on the three test runs I checked with the meter. Has anyone else made this switch and stuck with it long term?

Wait, you actually timed yourself on 50 terminations for a comparison?

Hold on, is signal loss really that big of a deal for most people's cable TV or internet? Seems like splitting hairs over a few seconds per end.
