RJ45 Crimp Tool Pass Through Ethernet Crimper for Cat6 Cat5e Cat6a Connectors Cat6 Crimping Tool Kit

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.

Tool and kit were purchased as I had a damaged end to 30m cable which was run to my wife’s home office. Rather than taking up the floor and carpet upstairs again this was the simplest option The tool works well although it didn’t have any instructions I was able to find plenty of YouTube videos that showed how to use it Definitely helped me overall quality is good as are the connectors made a clean cut and solid crimp with no issues

Crimp tool nicely made with extra blades included. It worked very smoothly. I had an existing tool, but bought this as I much prefer the Pass Through connectors. These connectors are much easier to use and it is much easier to see that you have the wires correctly set for someone that is older.

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!

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.
