Have a look on ebay theres a couple of shops on there that do them but they also have a site off of ebay so you dont need an ebay account,.

which is better a crimping tool OR a Compression Tool ?

Go for a crimp,the compo ones are ok but for what you need the crimp would be cheaper and easier,

Pic as requested.

Compression fittings are better they say more so where moisture may get into them. However i have found that the connectors are expensive in the UK and you only seem to be able to get RG6 connectors all other sizes are very hard to source (if you want to use Vermin PPC brand)
