HelovmineRJ45 Professional Crimp Tool Pass Through Cat5 Cat6 Heavy Duty Crimping Tool, 6P 8P Multi-Function, Computer Maintenance Lan Cable Tester Network Repair Tool Set

I had to watch a video to learn how to organize the wires to push the wires through the RJ45 connector without having the wires swap positions.

Just got it, so who knows if it lasts or whatever. But after reading some of the negative reviews, I had some doubts. Not sure what to say, I've only used it a couple times - but so far, i have to say I think mine is awesome; and seems pretty premium to me. I think it's a quality nice heavy tool with good blades. It crimps well. The pull-through design head is a total Godsend. I have an earlier style that isn't pull-through, and this way better. This tool seems pretty well thought out to me, feature rich, and well made. I wish they gave me more heads; I don't image the little plastic heads are really all that expensive; so I'll have to buy more at some point - which is too bad. But otherwise, I think this is worth way more than I actually paid for it, and am very happy with this tool.

I've seen reviews complaining about the cutting blades, my tool arrived with the blades out of adjustment. The sheath cutting blades were too tight, after adjustment they cut very well. The cutoff blade used when crimping was also poorly adjusted and would have cracked if used as it was.As for blade quality, the tool cost under $20 what did you expect. I feel after proper setup this tool is a good deal.UPDATE: upon further inspection I noticed the spare blades were missing so I contacted the vendor via the contact email and the response was FANTASTIC! The problem was handled immediately and very much to my satisfaction. I can't thank them enough.

I got this to shorten the cable run I did to my room. It works just fine.My main gripe, is that the blade that cuts the wires when you're crimping, isn't seated down far enough.I have to squeeze hard, so it cuts fully. Otherwise one or two of the wires will still be hanging on.I was crimping solid-core cables, so that might have something to do with it, but I kinda doubt it.Besides that, I think it's perfectly fine for someone who just needs to make a few runs.

CAT6 wires are notorious for being hard to get in the connectors. The pass through connectors make this task easier. I don't know about you but, trying to keep the wire colors in the correct order is one of my biggest frustrations. The pass through style connectors allows me to put one wire at a time into the connector and keep the order correct. That being said this crimper cuts the wires off flush with the end of the connector and does a very nice job of it. It came with replacement blades and a handful of both CAT5 AND CAT6 connectors. It works well and does as good of a job as other crimpers costing much more.
