Spent 90 minutes wrestling with a bad connector on a rooftop in Phoenix yesterday

The compression fitting on the RG6 just would not grab the cable right, and after three tries I finally saw a hairline crack in the barrel of the connector, has anyone else run into cheap fittings that look fine but fail under tension?

Nah, sometimes it's just bad luck with cheap brass.

Wait, how cheap are we talking? Like, dangerously thin walls cheap?
