Cable Matters All-In-One Modular Ethernet Crimping Tool Cat 8 (Cat5 Cat6 Cat7 Cat8 Crimping Tool) for Shielded Pass-Through Connectors

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.

Good tool, crimps are solid, cuts cleanly.

I just started using pass-thru connectors and they are so much easier. I used to use one of those other style of crimpers and manually trim the conductors, but these leave a nice flush cut and the cables work first time. It also came with spare blades and screws. It's heavy duty and accurate. Well worth the price.

I love this design over the "pliers" style. It's actually smaller than I expected, but every function works great -- most importantly, it crimps and trims passthrough RJ45 connectors perfectly

pin setter worked EXTREMELY WELL! pass thru cutter didn't work that well, it left the wires still there and had to use a razor blade to finish the job. but I am still well pleased in this item as it got me back up and running fast!

I needed to add standard aftermarket terminators to a proprietary terminated CAT 8 cable. This was just the tool I needed to attach the standard RJ45 terminator connectors.

The best crimping tool ever dont think I will ever need another one unless someone breaks into my home and steals it because of how good it is, also very compact, easy to use, sharp cutting blades.

Works well and came with extra parts. I'd buy again, but hope not to have to.

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

Great. So far I made few hundred connections and all works great. Sharp. Crimping is perfect (all pins/blades fully cut in, just enough) Perfect fit in hand and striping part works good too.

Funziona alla perfezione ed è pesante. Sembra un dettaglio scontato ma il peso della pinza aiuta molto nella crimpatura. Da un senso di affidabilità.

Tres satisfais de cet article. Je recommande

Estupendo lo probé para cat 6 y de maravilla falta comprobar el cat8
