Cable Matters Modular RJ45 Crimping Tool for Shielded Pass Through Connectors

Quality, ease of use, value, durability, functionality - it has it all, I love it

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.

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.

10/10 great tool

Cambie unas Knippex que no tenian para cortar el sobrante del cable al crimpar por esto. He crimpado unos 25 cables Cat6A en casa, estupendo.
