Switched from compression to hydro crimping for RG6 last month

I used to fight with compression fittings on outdoor drops until a buddy at the supply house let me try his hydro crimper on a 200-foot run in Austin. Now I'm wondering why I didn't make the switch sooner has anyone else had trouble with compression connectors pulling loose in heat?

Yeah the heat in central Texas definitely makes compression fittings let go after a few seasons. I switched to hydro a couple years back after replacing too many of those that just popped off in the summer.
