I'm quite pleased with how the stuff I have works, but I'm not a pro and don't need top dollar tools for this.
Just a single data point.

I bought a cheapo offshore tool on the bay, for 9.99 delivered.
A guy that I bought 5 rolls of 3G coax from, tossed in a bag of 50, of which I've probably used 25 w/ no problem.
I cut the jacket, braid and foam, w/ a drywall knife and saturate the fitting w/ CA.
The plastic tool has held up quite well.
I have never used Coax Seal, but I believe my use of Scotch Super 33+ has been holding up OK.
