Very Handy
A very handy thing to have for Field Day or any outdoor deployment of your station. With these you can rapidly disconnect the coax from the radio in case of thunderstorm conditions and eliminate the possibility of lightning striking your radio - or you. At times when there is a lot of potential for dangerous weather, can you really afford to be unscrewing a connector? It isn't worth the risk especially when you consider the modest investment for these connectors. Just put one on the radio end of the coax and push it into place and your are done. I got two so I can have a spare in my go kit or connect two antennas to a radio or radios depending on what the situation dictates. I have not tested these for RF leakage but I believe they are intended for use as a safety measure primarily, and they should not be a huge issue RF wise. That is the reason I only gave 4 stars. I wish I had the gear to measure the RF signal differential between a regular PL-259 and adding one of these on the end of the coax. I suspect any signal loss using one of these is minimal. I got a pair for my kit, perhaps you should consider a few as well.

STOP !!!!!
I hate disconnecting and reconnecting cables, on anything! These little "push-on" connectors have greatly simplified that process. Now, when I hear of an approaching storm, it's only seconds and my gear is safe. Initially I was worried about signal loss using these connectors. But having used them for several months I have not detected any appreciable loss in signal. They have been a great investment for my shack!

Connectors that allow quick disconnect...
The Male / Female UHF 'push-on' connectors provide a quick and easy way to disconnect your equipment in the case of approaching stormy weather. They also save wear and tear on the threads on transceivers and tuners.

Good Connector
The connectors work very well...

Better than I thought it would be.
I remember push-on cable connctors in the 70's and 80's. They use to be on a plate with the radio and you could just grab the whole plate and bring it with so it would not get stolen. The RF connector would loosen over time but these are very high quality. I bought these primarily for approaching storm disconnects. And they work quite admirably!
