RJ45 Crimp Tool-Gen1

Does what says it does. I can highly recommend this kit to anyone looking for a quality CAT 7 tool. The price point of this kit is well worth it considering what you're getting in the kit. It cuts the wire with precision without accidentally cutting into the shielded wire inside the sheathing. This tool kit definitely drastically saved me time in the repair of some of my Network cables that required new ends to be installed.

This crimp tool is excellent! Solid build, comfortable grip, and works perfectly for pass-through connectors. Cuts, strips, and crimps all in one—makes cable work quick and hassle-free. A must-have for anyone doing network installs.

This is a really great kit for the money. I have done hundreds of connections already and the tool works really well. The only issue I have is throw away the RJ45 connectors it came with. They are terrible and cheap. The wires move all around making it near impossible to get a good connection. Get better connectors and you will have no problem.

Works like a charm, very easy to use. Highly recommend. Feel like it was the best value available

This is one of my favorite tools for redoing the Cat5e cables in my new home. Upgrading to Cat6a and this tool makes my life so much easier. The number of built-in features makes it a very handy, easy-to-use tool. The quality is solid, and it fits in my hand great.

This product is not good for Cat8 cable. I managed to get my first cable to work (two connections) but after that it was too dull and kept causing poor connections via shorts. I ended up having to get a Klein for about $50.

I was surprised to find it works well on not just pass through connectors but on conventional closed end connectors for CAT6, CAT5E. I had to terminate an outdoor Access Point run at a hospital. It uses a shielded CAT6 with UV resistant cover, which is always a bear to terminate with a pass-through Rj45 supplied by the cable supplier. The tool worked great. The vendor supplied silicone rubber clear gue to place at the end of connector before sliding on boot to seal the connection required at each end to prevent water vapor from entering the cable run. I had to make a patch cable inside with conventional cable, I found the tool can terminate non-pass-through connectors easily. I probably use 100 connectors a month. I always use CAT6 for 10G on runs less than 40 feet except where bundle with 50 or more. 10G always use CAT7 shielded on >100 foot runs, and on any bundle run. I also charge 5 times cost for termination because it takes a long time to terminate CAT7 compared to CAT5E. Surprised the inexpensive tool works well in all situations.
