Bought good RG-6 compression fittings and tools.

OK

So should I buy the snap n seal tool for the above if
needing to buy something?

I'm pretty klutzy when making stuff so need a tool that

The compression fittings and tools that were mentioned are pretty
pricey ($25 for a decent tool and $1 per connector), but are worth
EVERY PENNY!!! You'll also need some sort of stripping tool.
