I have a coax crimper, but it makes crimps that look very bad. I would

Use a compression crimper and the special connectors it requires.
They have a sleeve that the tool presses into the connector body,
wedging the cable in place. Makes beautiful and reliable cables.

DAGS for RG6 compression connectors or tool or crimper.

Available in a water resistant version for outdoors, too.

I just got one of those compression tools. It's easy to use and seems
to do a good job on RG6 cable. Not so good on RG59.

They even sell RG59 any more? Or were you just putting new ends on an
old cable? I certainly would not install any new RG59 anywhere.
