Reliable
Used to terminate about 50 end to end CAT6 cables, everyone passed first time, easy to use and finishes each cable perfectly ( comes with a spare blade which I didn’t need, should last a long time and now forms part of my DIY network cabling kit

Better than most crimping tools I’ve used.
I’ve gone through several crimping tools and still not found the ideal tool. It gives a good clean cut on the cables and strips the sheaths easily. The only part that is lacking is the crimping function - maybe it is poor connectors but it always requires a double press and then visual inspection to ensure a good connection.

Issues with cutting ends on termination
The tool itself is great, but sadly sending it back as whenever you terminate RJ45 ends it leaves about 1mm of cable sticking out, and if you hold the end and do it it just bends the cable; I've tried both blades it comes with and both blades have some issue I believe its a design fault, I did contact the company themselves but seams like the prosses would take some days + to resolve so I'm just returning it via Amazon and ordering a Klein one

Poor quality and sockets Jam
Completely shoddy item, plugs constantly get stuck , meaning you have to strip down wasting valuable time on a job, the blade does not cut the ends , always one or two left, AVIOD.

Leaves excess cable after crimping
Leaves about a millimeter of cable poking out of the passthrough, which is not an issue I've had before even on bargain basement crimpers half the price of these. Disappointing as this brand is usually pretty solid for quality.

Recieved a used item.
Recieved the item and it had clearly been used and returned previously. Leftover cable on the cutting blade, writting on the base in permenant pen and the rubber grip was dirty.

GAME CHANGER!
I am now able to terminate cables with 100% success meaning I save time, money and effort. Should have started using pass-through RJ45s years ago. Would recommend.

Great Tool at a Great Price!
I bought this tool to run some Cat6 Ethernet lines for my home office, and honestly, I don't see why a DIYer would spend double on the big-name brands (like Klein) when this does the job perfectly. Here is the breakdown after crimping about 50 ends: The Good: Pass-Through is a Game Changer: If you aren't a pro doing this every day, getting the wires in the right order can be a headache. This tool works with "Pass-Through" connectors (where the wires poke out the front), and it trims them flush automatically when you crimp. It makes it nearly impossible to mess up the color order. Solid Build: It doesn't feel like a cheap plastic toy. It has a heavy steel frame and a smooth ratcheting action. Consistent: Every crimp I made tested perfect on my network tester. No loose pins. The One Thing to Watch Out (Read this!): The Stripper: The built-in cable stripper is very sharp. If you clamp down fully, you will nick the copper wires inside the cable. Fix: Practice on a scrap piece of wire first. You only need to rotate the tool once with very light pressure to score the jacket, then snap it off. Once you get the "feel" for it, it works great. Bottom Line: If you are an IT professional crimping 100 cables a day, maybe buy the ergonomic cushioned ones. But for wiring a house or making patch cables? Save your money and get this. It’s the best value out there.

Very comfortable network cable crimping tool
Tried it on a couple of cables I had to make -- works great. Used with Cable Matters RJ-45 Pass-Through modular plugs -- everything works as intended.

Todo lo que esperaba.
Lo use para armar un cable UTP CAT 8 de 30 metros con los conectores RJ45 CAT 8 de la misma marca y funcionor a la perfección. Así que si tu tienes dudas y estas en el mismo proceso que yo te puedo decir que me sirvió incluso usando un cable UTP de uso rudo. Completamente con unas herramientas para realizar la prueba de conexión del cable y listo uní dos mesh de asus. Altamente recomendable.

Great crimper
This works really well and it's perfect for passthrough RJ45 jacks because it has the blade that cuts off the excess.

Ottimo prodotto, ottimi materiali, praticamente e compatibile con tutto.
Ottimo prodotto, ottimi materiali, quasi professionale, taglia i cavi come burro, compatibile con tutti i Cat attuali e RJ45. Non costa poco, ma sono soldi ben spesi.
