RJ45 Crimp Tool Kit Pass Thru Ethernet Crimper for Cat5e Cat6 Cat6a 8P8C Modular Connectors, All-in-One Cat6 Crimping Tool and Tester(9V Battery Not Included)

Worked perfectly for shortening the camera ethernet cables on my surveillance system. No more bundles of excess cable in the box anymore. Very easy to use with the pass thru feature, u can strip the main insulation long so u can have excess individual wires to maneuver them into the connector. The crimps were good, cut off was flush, i had no issues with connectivity. Didnt use the tester as i already have a Fluke of my own. The crimper locking feature allows for east storage. Very easy to use. If your eyesight is not all that great, i suggest the use of a magnifying apparatus.

Gotta say, for the price I'm impressed. I bought this quite some time ago to do ethernet cabling then forgot about it and didn't work on the cabling until this weekend. I dug this out thinking I was going to regret not being able to send it back. To my surprise this is one of the better kits I've ever used. The crimper is very well thought out and well made. It even has the wire color coding on it. I've probably terminated a few thousand ethernet pulls in the past 30 years and TBH this was the nicest kit I've used (including some very expensive mil-spec crimpers). The tester is very basic, and I didn't think it would work, but I crimped one backwards and bent the pins (and didn't notice when I was doing it) and the tester let me know that there was a short. Pretty cool. Probably the only negative is that the instructions are a little bit thin. If you know what you're doing it shouldn't take long to figure this out. The instructions for the tester were basically "plug in the cable". It took a bit to figure out that the switch on the tester was "Off", "Slow" and "Regular". The "S" setting just makes the lights go slower so you can see exactly what is wrong. The tester also does RJ11 if you need to test that. I have no idea if the crimper supports those or not, I don't think it does. It doesn't come with anything else that supports RJ11. Anyway, the result is that I have a bunch of Cat6 ethernet cables that are working great at gigabit speeds. Somehow it doesn't make me any better at Fornite though. So sad.

It's a decent product, just not the best out there. It crimps fine. When inspected under a microscope I noticed no damage caused to the gold pins by the die. The crimp seats the pins solidly and straight into the wires ensuring a good connection. It fits ok in my hand (large), but everyone's hands are different. It's sharp enough to slice 6/8 wires every time, with the last two just needing to be wiggled off. Not too heavy. I haven't tested the cable tester yet, but if you are relying on something for troubleshooting network connections then you need to go buy a quality tool. If you work in IT, this would make a good backup to keep in your toolbox, but you should get higher quality equipment for every day use. Otherwise, if you find yourself setting up a home network and don't see yourself using these tools much after your project is complete, or want to have them just in case, then this kit contains pretty much everything you should need.

Used it on some 6a cabling. Crimping tool, tester, and RJ45 connecters worked great. The instructions were very clear. Overall great price for a quality product.

Amazing value, comes with the tool and even some ends to use as well. I needed to fix some cables and it worked great! Crimping was great and the connection quality was good too!.

I really wanted this to be a reliable crimping tool, but it’s not practical for more than very basic, occasional use. • Hard to tell which way is up: One of the first things I noticed is how confusing the orientation is. There’s no clear marking or intuitive design to tell you which end is up or down. I found myself second-guessing how to insert the connectors more than I should’ve. • Wire scraps jam the tool constantly: Small pieces of insulation or wire get caught frequently, which interrupts workflow and gets really annoying during batch terminations. • No guidance on blade replacement: The internal blade dulls pretty quickly, and there’s absolutely no instruction or apparent method to replace it. Once it starts cutting poorly, you’re out of luck. • Not scalable: After about a dozen terminations, it was obvious this tool isn’t built for repeat or professional use. It’s tiring to use and inconsistent in results. Other reviewers have mentioned similar issues — poor wire cuts, wire ends bending instead of being trimmed, and a lack of support for parts. I experienced all of that. Bottom line: For light, one-off home use, this might get the job done. But if you’re working on multiple drops or anything professional, look elsewhere.

Works well. Outer cover cutter cuts into wires if not very careful.

Perfect. works extremely well well work the purchase.

I decided I didn't like the starlink oem cable so I ran cat6 and used this tool to put the ends on...worked perfect.

Parfait fonctionne parfaitement pro ou domestique

Very nice kit that comes with basically everything you need to put ends on some wires. I particularly liked the cable tester - it was able to show that what appeared to be a faulty cable was just the result of a badly connected end, with one wire not connected properly. I used the crimper to cut off the bad end, strip the sheath, and crimp on a new end. The tester then confirmed the new connector was properly installed. Brilliant. The pass-through nature of the tool is a delightful change from the way we had to do things in the "old days."

Works like charm
