A coffee can??? I have a shoe box full on the bench and a bag that once held a computer full for the antenna range.

Problem with this kit is that there is only one of each! Most times, I
need several of several kinds.

ADVICE: An old sage at VHF/UHF gave me some excellent advice 50 years
ago. Get yourself a 4 or 5-lb. ground coffee can. When empty, don't pitch
it. Clean and dry well. When it is full of every connector under the sun,
MULTIPLE COPIES OF EACH, you've got enough adaptors. Even now, I run
short of N-male to BNC-female adaptors and my 4-lb. coffee can is
overflowing. Of course, above 600 MHz, it's only N-Type or SMA.

I use Pasternack at work, where it makes sense to pay $40 for an
N-to-LMR600 crimp connector.

For my hobby use that's impractical. I can assemble a whole bin of
adapters (and I did) for less than a single Pasternack adapter. Here's the
kit I assembled (links in case anyone wants to buy the same):
