Great crimping tool, fits a hand tool

This is just a regular crimping tool that I've used to crimp five RJ-45 ethernet cables and so far each has looked great. I checked both ends of the cables and found no shorts or continuity issues that could cause performance issues. I've also continuously pinged multiple devices on the network using these cables for several days and they have a 99% packet rate. I have yet to use it for the RJ-11 side, but I expect it will work similarly. The cut and strip function works great here too, but you

He has trouble with power tools and hand tools

There are a few things I didn't like about this crimping machine. First I bought it on Amazon's recommendation along with a 500ft CAT6 network cable. If you do the same, be careful and be sure to pay attention to the gauge of the cable. I bought 23AWG and the serrated part of the crimpers keeps biting the cable rendering it completely unusable. I am embarrassed that I did not check if the sensor is compatible, although there is no information in this product as to which sensors it supports…

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Some minor things
