Icom IC-T81A antenna doesn't quite fit, but I fixed that
I needed this tool to remove the antenna nut on an Icom T-81A amateur radio handheld. The 7mm with two teeth is the right diameter, however the teeth were too broad. A couple of minutes with a Dremel tool and a grinding wheel, and the teeth fit now and the tool works great. This tool took some searching to find the appropriate tool. I hope this info helps someone with an Icom handheld with an SMA connector.

Works with some radios, not with others
It worked fine on my BTech/ Baofeng, TYT MD380, Kenwood TH-F6, Anytone 878, and QRZ-1 (allegedly a rebranded TYT). 5 Stars for that. It did NOT work on my old ICOM IC92. On that radio, the two 'teeth' were too wide for the narrower slots in the ring/nut. Others have mentioned filing down those teeth - I may give that a try. Can't blame the tool for that, I suppose.

Good for all radio techs
This works really well with the exception of the small 2 prong side, y'all need to file these prongs a lil bit in order to fit into the nuts because the prongs are a bit thick, other than that all other sides work perfect helping cut the disassembly time in less than half.

Works Great for Baofeng Radio
I have a couple radios with loose antenna mounts. I hadn't thought there was actually a tool for purchase that can tighten the coupler bolt until I found this tool. Works great and tightened the antenna mount bolts perfectly. You don't want to over torque so just turn until finger tight and maybe just a slight twist tighter.

Not made for Vertex-Standard Portable Radios
I had to file down these lugs to fit the Vertex-Standard Portable Radio by at least 1/16th of an inch on both sides to be able to remove the nut. Other than that, it works well with my Radioddity, Kenwood, but does not work with the Motorola, Baofeng or the Vertex-Standard VX-180 Portable Radio. I would NOT recommend this tool as it DOES NOT FIT a wide variety of portable radios.
