Introduction
The Planet Waves Custom Installation Tool Kit comes with a Planet Waves Triple Cutter and a Screwdriver. The Triple Cutter is designed to cut single, dual and triple coax runs and is designed to fit comfortably in the hand and be used safely. Planet Waves has also put out a new line of high-end connectors, dubbed the ZM Series which are actually two-parts: a base which fastens to the coaxial cable and a "tip" which screws onto the base. If you're jumping ahead, you've probably figured out what took me only 10 short seconds to realize - the tips are interchangeable. This is a one-two punch that is revolutionizing the way we handle making custom interconnects.
