Landhoow 2 Pcs Network Cable Untwist Tool Kit, Straightener for CAT5-CAT7

Nice little tool for untwisting and straightening pairs

crazy simple to use and SO nice for untwisting and straightening in one motion!! these things should just be part of the connector clip kits!!

Worked for a while then metal tips fell off.

Definitely worth it if you have to untwist a bunch of cat 6, it is efficient but the quality of the grip sleeve could've been better quality for the price. Not something you whip out unless you got to do alot of cat 6. If you got like 5, just run it like a man and use your fingers.

Seemed like a bit of a gimmick but I found myself reaching for it every time I had to put a plug onto CAT6 cable. The opening is a different size at each end, so one end does Cat6 and the other end does something else, no idea what. Just wish wire makers would wrap the pairs the way they're nearly all used, ie type B. Now that CAT cable has a central separator it's a pain to work the wires around it so they can go in the "wrong" order for how they are in the cable. (Not holding my breath on this one).

This little tool works great for untwisting the the CAT 6 twisted pairs and straightening them. It makes working with pass through RJ-45 connectors so much easier.

I was skeptical that this would work but it saves time/fingers. For the price, it's worth it if you're doing more than a few ethernet cabels.

I put on about 50 RJ45 connectors this weekend, and these two tools ended up being the mainstay of the job. The cable stripper we are all familiar with, and it worked fine. The brass "untwister tool" I had to fool around with a bit, but ended up using it as follows: (a) in each twisted pair, put the tube over one of the wires and push it towards the base of the strip, twirling it as you do it so that the two wires end up separating. (b) slip the tube down over each separated wire, bend it 90°, put your thumb over the opening to trap the wire and pull outwards, straightening the wire using the rounded edge of the tube as an anvil. This sequence allows you to have eight straight wires at the end of your cat cable in a pretty short time, without damaging the wires or killing the skin on the end of your fingers. Really nice.

what a piece of junk.
