Name of the connector used for coax for internet, cable TV, TV antenna

In summary, the individual is embarrassed to admit that they have never used a crimping tool for designing and wants to confirm that they need an F-type tool for a common TV antenna connector. They are looking for a cheap version that can pass a 5lb pull test and have decided to purchase one from Amazon.

This is embarrassing, All these yrs., I never use one for any design. I just want to make sure it is F type. I am talking just common tv antenna connector.

I need to buy the crimping tool and everything, I cannot afford to make mistake. I searched, it should be F-type, just want to confirm.

Thanks

You should not be embarrassed. It was a completely legitimate question. I did not know the answer, either. And the replies were useful to everybody else who did not know.
