Yep, if you own a cutter and die set, it's nicer (IMO) than building cables by soldering.
The neck crimping could be done with standard coax crimper tools, if they are the right size. The LV-77S I used is the same diameter as RG-6, IIRC. While the pin could probably be crimped with something else, the Canare die set does a square crimp on the pin which definitely holds tight. I bought a bunch of LV-77S and connectors a while ago, and got the Canare cutter and die set at the same time. Since I've made more than a dozen cables with it, I think it has paid for itself.
If you do any other DIY work, a crimp frame (the mechanism that holds the die set and does the actual crimping) is useful for network or telephone cables too.
