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

Highlights
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

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

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
