Once I needed a BNC and that was all RS had.  Unfortunately I found that
they won't work with the type of RG-58 which has a stranded center
conductor, so I picked up a clamp/solder type at an electronics store
the next day.  I eventually used the screw in connector with solid
center conductor coax and it seemed to work fine, but it still looked a
bit kludgy.

If I were making a lot of cables, I'd invest in crimp tools.
