Try Impact Accoustics:

This tool is meant to be used with the compression style connectors. They are MUCH better form of termination of the regular hex crimp style connections. Just make sure you use the right size connectors (RG6 vs. RG59). Also RG6 quad shield connectors are even larger diameter.
