Review: Crimp like a Pro (or at least pretend to with this tool) - I recently picked up the TRENDnet Crimping Tool, and let me tell you, I feel like a certified network technician. Sure, I may not know the difference between a router and a modem, but that doesn't stop me from crimping like a pro. This tool is easy to use, and even easier to pretend like you know what you're doing. The built-in cutter and stripper make preparing the cables a breeze, and the all-steel construction makes me feel like I could crimp through concrete if I wanted to (not that I've tried...yet). I've used this tool to crimp Ethernet cables, telephone cables, and even some random cords I found lying around my house. It works like a charm every time, and my friends are always impressed when I whip it out (the tool, that is). So, if you want to feel like a network wizard, or just need to crimp some cables for whatever reason, this tool is definitely worth checking out. Plus, it's black, so it matches all of my other tools, which is a nice bonus.
Review: Great crimper tool - This is just a basic crimper tool that I've used this to crimp five RJ-45 Ethernet cables and so far each one of them appear to be terminated great. I've check both ends of the cables and have not found any shorts or continuity issues that would lead to performance issues. I've also continuously pinged several devices on the network using these cables for a few days and have had a 99% successful packet transmission rate on them. I have yet to use it for the RJ-11 side but I assume it will work similarly. The cut and strip feature on this also works great, however, you will need to be careful about the stripper tool. I've had a few occasions where I stripped the outer sheath too deep and I accidentally cut a few wire pairs in the process. But with some practice I was able to strip cables without this happening. For the low price point of this tool, it represents excellent value for its use and I would highly recommend it.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: does this crimp Cat 6 cables**
A: The answer is yes, it does crimp both cat 6 and cat 5 grade RJ-45 connectors. While the connectors are different internally, from the outside, they are identical.

**Q: I've never stripped a cable with the crimping tool before. Does this crimper do a good job at that?**
A: hey Zack! although this tool will strip the plastic sleeve from the Cat5 cable I never use this. not sure whether you know this or not and pardon me if I'm stating the obvious but you don't strip the individual strands on Cat5 cable. anyway, I use a little yellow cable stripper to "strip" the plastic sleeve from the Cat5 cable, if you like I can find it for you, it's a simple yellow plastic tool that's around $7 I think. you place the Cat5 cable in the tool, it clamps down and you twist the tool around the cable 2-3 times, works well. I've never used the tripper in the crimping tools, they always cut into the strands too much imo

**Q: Will this work on shielded RJ45 connectors?**
A: no, it fits only unheralded connectors

**Q: does this tool works on cat 6**
A: Yes

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good price to value for a DIY'er who will use it part time - if you need something for daily use, there are better options
*by T***S on October 2, 2016*

I have owned this for over a year now, and have had the opportunity to use it on a few occasions. I would estimate I have crimped 30 to 40 RJ-45 Cat 5 ends at this point, enough to see how well this performed and will hold up. At this point, I think this is well worth the $14 I spent on it.... it has not failed me once, and has crimped the RJ-45 Cat 5 ends flawlessly. The action is smooth, and the tool is thick and heavy enough that it does not flex, and easily powers through the stroke. For those wondering how to lock it closed for storage - it takes a soft touch - but SLOWLY close the handles together, and the click before it fully closes, let go, and VOILA! It takes a little practice, but once you get used to it, locking it closed becomes second nature. I would recommend this to any part-timer who wants something to crimp the occasional RJ-45 or RJ-11. If you are looking something heavy duty for daily / professional use, this might work OK for a while, but there are better options IMHO. Good tool, met my expectations. Thanks for reading.
