Everest Media Solutions RJ45 Crimp Tool Kit, with 50 Cat6 Pass Through Connectors and 50 Strain Relief Boots + Extra Blades - EZ Cut, Strip, Crimp Ethernet Cables - Professional Network Crimping Tool

I own the Pla+inum Tools unit that this tool clearly mimics, I just neglected to pack it for my last trip. The other reviews looked acceptable, so I ordered one. It literally works the same! The only annoying thing about using this one over the original is that I seem to spend more time "fiddling" with the loose wire ends to get the EZ-RJ45 passed through the crimping die. Somehow, the name brand didn't seem to have that issue. Is it a deal breaker? Not for the price differential! At my day job, I'll probably keep using my name brand tool with the pass thru terminations I'm given. At home, this is my new favorite tool. I have some older crimpers I should just gift on to someone who can use them. I'm not going back to using non-pass thru connectors, ever. The RJ45's and strain relief connectors provided in this kit are on par with the name brand ones I've used from the pro tool I mentioned above. My Cat6a from Cable Matters slipped tightly through the strain relief, but it fit. The 23AWG tails fit through the RJ45 pass thru connectors. The tool blade cut the tails off smoothly, and they plugged into my Ub!quiti cameras and switches just fine. I'd buy this tool again, if I forgot to pack the one I'm reviewing...

Have used this tool and crimped many RJ45 plugs. So much easier than a conventional crimp tool. Works most the time. Take your time properly preparing the wires and straighten them before pushing them inside the plug. If you feel to much resistance, then that is a sign the wires are crossed. You should always visually inspect the wires to see if they are in proper order.

the crimping tool is extremely nice and worth the money all by themselves. The RJ45's and the cheesy pieces that dress up the connectors are not worth using. I say that because the pieces that dress up the connector does not stay in and gives you the feeling of a cheap connection and as far as the RJ45 passthrough connectors, well they are just as cheap and not dependable. I will say the crimping tool is the selling item in this kit, I do recommend purchasing this kit, if for nothing else but the crimping tool. Really nice.

I routinely terminate Cat-5 & 6 cables and have been using this exact same tool (borrowed) for some time. It is of solid, strong construction, easy to use and has not produced a single bad connection in dozens of terminations. The pass-through RJ-45s and this type of tool is SO MUCH better than the older dead-ended ones.

My new RJ45 EZ Crimp Tool Kit for Pass Through Connector End With 50 Cat6 Pass Through Connectors & 50 Clear Cable Strain Relief Boots & Extra blades turned out to be a really good buy. Oh, I agonized for a long time while I considered buying a RJ45 EZ Crimp Tool Kit for Pass Through Connector End With 50 Cat6 Pass Through Connectors & 50 Clear Cable Strain Relief Boots & Extra blades, but finally decided that if I were going to wire my home for LAN connectors--as opposed to depending on fickle WiFi through walls and floors--I was going to need my own RJ45 EZ Crimp Tool Kit for Pass Through Connector End With 50 Cat6 Pass Through Connectors & 50 Clear Cable Strain Relief Boots & Extra blades. It doesn't necessarily make the job easy, because man, those wires are tiny! But it does make the job possible. As with a great many such products that appear on Amazon, it could use a set of instructions, and doesn't come with one--but, hey! The internet is a rich cornucopia of how-to videos, and once you get YOUR newly manufactured cable installed, those videos come through faster than ever.

I am one that finds a tool that works and I use it forever. I have been using the old RJ45 crippers for 13 years now and gotten my fare use out of them. I happen to stumble on some pass through RJ45 plugs. They worked great and I could tell with the right tool this would make all my terminations look pro, so, "What the Hell." I bought this tool to get the use out of the pass through. Oh my! Dropped down the amount of mistakes, time on terminations, and overall look. If you are looking at this, it is time to move to the next generation.

Although I just create cables for my home and lab, I've made a lot of cables as I wired Cat 6 around my house. I have used the standard plugs for years. I've been busy in the attic in high temps and I wanted to build cables quicker. The Everest crimp tool and the pass-through connectors made the job faster and easier. I had 100% success rate and used a fraction of the time.

I recently lost my ethernet crimpers that I've had for almost a decade and needed a replacement. These are an exact match, or so I thought. The crimping portion of them is fine. Exactly as I expected even. But the blades that this kit come with are apparently made out of paper because I can hardly get them to cut or strip anything. I always take the exterior jacket off of Cat5/5e/6/6e using the round stripper and it won't cut anything and there's no adjustment on the blade. The full cutting blade also take far too much effort to actually trim the wiring down. I'd give these a chance if I could make the round stripper usable, but I took it apart and found no way to adjust. It seems the whole thing is just poorly manufactured and just barely too big for any cable that I would try to use it on, and therefore, unable to be used. It's unfortunate because I love my old crimpers. Hopefully I find them somewhere, or I find a better replacement.

Works well for making custom ethernet cables. Bonus connectors provided also.

Me gusto mucho este producto, se nota bien construido y me ha ayudado mucho para los cables de red

One of the most useful tools I got, it just get rid of wasting time in all aligning the wires, and you can verify the wire order easily before the termination since the wires go out from the RJ And for the jacket that comes with it, it’s super professional, check photo I love it

Mucho mejor que las pinzas (ponchadoras) convencionales.

Buen producto
