Solsop Pass Through RJ45 Crimp Tool Kit All-in-One Ethernet Crimper Cat7 Cat6 Cat5 Crimping Tool with Network Cable Tester, 50-Pack Cat6 RJ45 Pass Through Connector, 50-Pack Connector Boots

This thing is great! Being the cheapo that I am, I thought I could use the screwdriver method to crimp instead of buying a tool to do it. After all I only had one cable end to crimp! Needless to say, I was not successful, so I broke down and bought the right tool for the job. I am certainly glad I did - this thing was wayyy easier, quicker, and reliable. And the price was great too! It's a solid tool - you can really feel the quality. If you're doing any sort of network wiring, you're going to want a crimp tool, and this one does the job. It's definitely a bonus that this kit comes with the testers as well. There's not too much to them - they simply tell you if the cable is allowing signal to pass through correctly. But a lot of times that's all you need, so this is perfect for that. I used the crimp tool on an RJ-45 for CAT6 cable. I didn't use the connectors that came with the package or the punch-down tool, so I can't comment on those, but don't have any complaints there. Overall this is a really great price for a solid kit that will get any home networking job done. Moral of the story: buy the right tool for the job!

There are several items as part of this package. I will review them one at a time. 1. Crimpers pros are the multifunction all in one tool. first there are wire cutters and are very sharp and precisely cut the CAT5/5e. The cutters are not meant to cut heavy gauge wire. Next there are two wire strippers, one for round cable and one for flat cable. I can't speak to the flat wire stripper because I don't use flat cables but the round CAT5/5e stripper worked perfectly without knicking any of the inside wires. Although I would warn that the round cables can become more oval when handling but just a quick squeeze to reshape the cable before using the strippers works perfectly. Finally you have the actually crimping function. I only used the RJ45 8P8C but there are RJ11 6P and 4P crimps also. The RJ45 connector slid in easy and hit the stopper without pushing through too far. A firm squeeze on the handles crimped the connector. The handles are just long enough to provide good leverage without using two hands to squeeze. The one con for the crimps are it doesn't have a ratcheting mechanism or a final click when the crimp is complete. But as long as you perform a full closure of the handles the crimp comes out great everytime. 2. Testers pros are the ease of use and versatility to use with RJ45 8P and RJ11 6P connectors. The testers attach together which is great when testing a short patch cable and can be reverse attached to keep the test ports on the same side. I used these between three floors without the need to constantly run up and down stairs to check connections. I was not able to find any cons with the testers. 3. Stand alone wire stripper - There's not much to these but it does work well. There are several different stripper positions for different sized cables. It is very easy to slide the cable into a smaller position and knick all the inside wires. Also you don't want to rotate the strippers around the wire too many times because it will dig in and knick the inside wires. As a bonus on the stand alone strippers is a punch down tool for seating the twisted pairs into a jack assembly. The only con i found with the stand alone stripper is it's not very heavy duty but to be honest I will use the wire stripper on the crimpers most of the time. Overall at this price this package is a very good deal and would be a good addition to a tool set. One last mention is this would not hold up well for everyday professional use but as occasional use this will hold up great.

Very nice crimping tool. I really liked the set of crimper, cable tester, and the stripper tool. However, the quality of the passthrough jacks is very low. I needed this tool for a quick network wiring job, and I was relying on the jacks that came with the crimper, but upon finishing the wiring and terminating all the cables, only one worked. I re-terminated the cables one more time, and none of the cables worked. I had to purchase another set of Ethernet jacks to finish my job, and with the new set, all the cables were functional. I would highly recommend the tool, but I would not trust the quality of the Ethernet jacks that come with it.

Great crimps and the cable tester is very helpful.

My first ever ethernet cable! The instructions were clear, the pinout was well presented and next day delivery. Great content for the money, far more boots and connectors than I'll ever need, and I found the tool itself well made.

Great bit of kit, and essential if you want to do some DIY ethernet connections like i am. It is tricky to get the wired pairs in the connector in the right order and it took me a few tries to get my first successful termination. This where the diagrams and tester come into their own. The cable stripper is good and once you have done fiddly bit of wiring your supplied RJ45 connector, the tools crimp and cut works really well. Using CAT 6 cable i have succesfully created a ethernet LAN connection to my 4K tv and PS5 using this pack and a 1gig switch

Bra kvalitet och snabb leverans

bought this to replace an older crimper I had. was fairly easy to use and great for pull through connections. very helpful with having both a type and b type profiles on the side as I'm never gonna remember until the next time I do a crimp again

J’aime pu certir correctement mes prises réseau facilement grâce à ce kit complet. Le testeur permet de vérifier rapidement le bon raccordement des fils. Il faut néanmoins rajouter une pile 9V pour l’alimenter. Pour moi qui n’ai pas l’habitude de faire ces branchements, c’était parfait !

This review evaluates the “RJ45 Pass Through Modular CAT6 Crimping Tool” made by SOLSOP. The product was shipped with no excessive or wasteful packaging. What’s in the box: one (1) RJ45 pass-through modular CAT6 crimping tool, one (1) wire stripping tool, and two (2) spare cutter blades. First impressions: Good quality. Standard fit. Easy to use. If you have never used pass-through modular plugs, you have no idea how much more convenient and easier they make termination jobs! The installation process is quicker and more reliable; you don’t have to worry about a wire miss-feeding once you push it in. This crimper is designed for these connectors although you can also use this crimper on conventional modular RJ45 plugs too. The frame of the tool is made of heavy steel and is well put together. It has a built-in sheathing stripper that worked very well with different brands of CAT5E and CAT6E cabling that I tried. The modular plugs fit precisely into the metal shoe (not a plastic shoe like some other crimpers and the handle smoothly crimps the modular plug and trims the protruding pass-through wires in one clean motion. The crimper is non-ratcheting, which I prefer because it gives you more control of the cam-over at the end of the crimp. The protruding wires are cut perfectly flush as can be seen in my pictures. The crimper also has a convenient handle locking bar to keep the tool compact in your tool pouch. There also is a handy wiring chart for straight and reverse cables on the side of the tool. Only time will tell if this product has similar longevity and durability as other competitive products on the market. Therefore, I will monitor this product over the next 8-12 months of use and revise my review should problems arise. Cost-effectiveness and value: Overall I am very satisfied with the product, it is well-made, convenient, and easy to use. At a current price of $39.99, I feel it is fair value for the quality and functionality delivered. In summary: the “RJ45 Pass Through Modular CAT6 Crimping Tool” made by SOLSOP is made of good-quality material, is tough, and does the job well. It speeds up installation and reduces defects. I would recommend this product without reservation. Pros 👍: ✔ Heavy duty steel frame construction, contractor grade. ✔ Ergonomic handle. ✔ Built-in handle lock. ✔ Built-in sheathing stripper and wire cutter. ✔ Built-in wire straightener. ✔ Metal crimping shoe. ✔ Non-ratcheting crimp with cam-over. ✔ Replaceable cutting knives, 2 spare cutting knives are included. ✔ handy wiring chart for straight and reverse cables on the side of the tool. ✔ Wire pass-through design speeds up installation and reduces defects. ✔ Fair price and good value. Cons👎: ✘ None.
