Pros & Cons

Pros

Quick-crimp connector makes connector assembly much easier and less prone to mis-wiring. Great tool for creating cat6 patch cables.

Extremely happy with the product. Very durable. This tool is very sturdy and should last forever. This unit is worth the premium over the non heavy duty units.

It crimps really well. The cutter and crimper are great. Smooth ratchet mechanism allows for exact crimping pressure.



Cons

On the 5 one crimped connector but folded over wires without cutting. Crimped another run, errors using the tester. No adjustments are found on the crimper. When you are crimping a plug, instead of cutting off the excess wire, it galls the ends togeth...  Read More

Quality


I have installed 18 of the 24 connectors that shipped with the tool and i am 100 satisfied


Probably overkill for someone like me who just uses it to make cables a couple times a year but very good quality


The product worked exactly as described didnt have any issues with using the tool also comes with a bunch of rj45s

Keeping the wires lined up its harder to push into the crimper but works better

Competitiveness


I like the clean look of the wires and love that it has a cat6 sheild stripper built in


We had to make 60 cat6 patch cables for our rd lab new building didnt have any issues with it


Im new in networking stuff and i hated using the standard crimper

    Klein was about the same price but the blade seemed dull and would not cut the 1 and 8 wires the two ends

    Ubi gear was half the price and pretty much had the same problem as klein

    Very sturdy and easy to use but not quite as easy as the video makes it have to be


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    For passthrough where the wires exit the back of the crimper there are obstructions that stop the wires for pins 1 and 8 shoving them back against the connector

    Once you learn to shape the bundle of wires things work okay


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Every time i tried that the tool mangled the ends


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    It does leave the 1st and 8th wires hanging but i wiggled them and they fell off


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    You cant stick a cable in and just lock it down
