RJ45 Crimp Tool Pass Through Ethernet Crimper for Cat6 Cat5e Cat6a Connectors All-in-One Cat6 Crimping Tool Kit

Everything I needed to do it myself. It got easier as I mastered the wire straightening technique.

No complaints. Works with passthrough and non pass through connectors. Plus, I used some shielded cable with shielded connectors. Tools are sharp.

ok so I'm not a pro when it comes to network cabling. But having tried other crimpers and plugs, this one is by far the best I've used. What makes it easy to use is the plugs and the crimper are "pass thru". Line up your wires and put them in the plug. This crimps and snips off excess wire at the same time. Why is that better - there is no need to snip the wires before putting them in the plug, and you can leave the wires longer to give yourself some room to work, and by snipping off the the excess wire when the plug is crimped, you have exactly the length of wire needed to fit in your cable boot. Save yourself some pain, get pass thru plugs, and a crimper like this one.

The only issue I had was getting it out of locked position. Once is was out of locked position it works very well. I used it to make cross over cables. Being able to push the wires through the head made easy to do. No more guessing where to strip the wire or whe to cut it. It all done by the tool

I have been looking for a decent RJ45 Crimping Tool for a long time to replace my old one. Then I found this network Crimper Kit that comes with a 3 in 1 compact crimper, a stripper, cable tester and 20pcs pass through connectors for a very reasonable price. The crimper is about half the size of my old crimper. This crimper got everything you need for crimping or installing ethernet cables. This crimper comes with a cutter, a built in stripper, a safety lock and the most feature i like on this crimper is the past thru wire connector cutter. It cuts all the wire at the ends of the connector the same time you crimp the connector, you don't even need to use a knife or blade to cut the wires (safety first) . That really save time and money if your a network cable installer.Pros:>>>Compact 3 in 1 crimping Tool>>>Solid construction>>>Built in wire cutter and wire stripper>>>Safety Lock>>>Wire Cutter for the pass through connectors>>>Cable Tester>>>20pcs. Pass Thru Connectors>>>Time SaverCons: I can not find any replacement bladeI really like this crimper hoping this will last longer than my old one. I hope this review helps.

Works fine. My only complaint is that the tester could use more sophistication. It quickly lights up for each wire to show a green light. I missed my cable being wired incorrectly because the lights go too fast. If they blinked out of order I may have missed it. It would be better if they all lit at once with a green light and had a red light for anything wired wrong. I probably would have caught the error under those circumstances. Anyway, I had to call in a tech to fix one cable. He explained that the cable going out to the dish was wired T568B instead of T568A. So I had a cable with each end wired differently and missed catching that with the tester.

Product is as states in description

I replaced my 20yr old RJ45 crimp tool and tester with this one. Great upgrade! It’s very nice to have a single tool for terminating cat6. And the tester is a breath of fresh air. It Makes locating outlets in my patch panel a breeze. It even found a couple of outlets that were miswired (A vs B).

Product exceeded my expectations, the tester worked beautifully even from 3 floors up

Hard to argue with this kit at the price.The boots, ends, and tester are decent, but not spectacular the fact they are there at all is a bonus.The crimps are excellent, and the premise of pass-through CAT5/6/7 means that there is little way back to your Paladins or Green-Lees once you start using this. Time will tell how frequently the blades will need changing. However, the tool is solid and ergonomic and it does reduce waste due to never or near never having to re-term due to and insert error.If you make more than 100 ends a year, you need this tool. The ends can be sourced same day or next day on prime.Game changer!

Used this to make do some homemade patch cables for my new wired network. The crimper worked well, used with passthrough ends, and it easily crimped and cut the excess cable. The wire cutter on also worked well, but the "stripper" on the tool was prone to cutting to deep and caused twisted pair to break.The included male rj45s worked well, although it was a trial to get the twisted pairs straightened out and fed through in the right order.The cable tester work fine, used it with a pass on all 10 lines I made using this kit.The mini-stripper push down tool included was mostly useless, it did not strip properly due to being bent.Overall this kit worked well, and enabled me to make custom CAT6 patch cables.

Works very well

Worked great. Crimped both ends of four POE camera wires as well as single ends of eight other cat6 wires running throughout the house.Only thing I wish it included was stress boots for the cables as well. Overall worth it though and having the diagram on the tool itself was handy.
