Is there a difference in Compression fitting crimp size? & Twist on Vs Compression

    I am aware that the fittings themselves vary with the type of cable you use, however I cannot seem to find out if there are different crimper's. I just bought some Webro CT125/WF125PE to rewire my NTL and am investigating compression fittings. Are they worth it of should I just stick with twist on fittings? (Given that I have to track down a reasonably priced crimper and the fittings - any suggestions where I can get them!!) I will be viewing the cable on two HD TV's and want the best picture available within reason.
    Thanks for your help :)

    There are indeed different size fittings and connectors for every cable size, why ct125, that seems a bit extreme...ct100 would be fine unless its an extremlely long run..

    Isnt the ct125 cable much thicker? If so you should downgrade this before it gets to the connection on your HD box as its extremely heavy and overtime would damage your box. You can get downsize fittings.
