Default A simple tool to repair BNC connectors.

I recently won a pair of HP 355 series attenuators on Ebay. All four BNC
connectors were deformed. I considered having a custom tool turned, but
after a few minutes though I came up with something I could make from
items on hand. Three spare air hose fittings from Harbor Freight were
threaded together to give me the tool I needed, and to provide enough
length to have the required leverage needed to smooth out the dents.
Simply push it into the connector and gently roll it against the dent to
straighten the connector's wall. Don't do it too much, or you will
create a very sharp burr on the edge.


Nice!
