Review on Enhanced SGILE Network Tool Kit for Cat5/5e, in Sleek Black by Ben Barrington

Crimping tool handle was bent only 5 times after crimping. This made it impossible to cut the wires as the cutting blade wasn't straight. The gold contacts simply fell out on four of the six RJ45 crimp connectors. Also, some pins did not align well in the crimping tool so they would not crimp. The network tester gave really conflicting results. We changed the battery and still got weird readings. I used an old trusted network tester and the same lines worked fine. When I saw the price I thought it was a really good deal, but it took me too much time recreating a bunch of connectors and troubleshooting the network. I ended up having to drive to Lowe's to buy new crimping tools and connectors. I spent half a day trying to save a few bucks. I do not recommend this product. In the photos I show how the crimping tool is bent. You can see the curved handle and curved cutting blade. I also show one of the RJ45 connectors that is missing the gold pin on the far left. It just fell out. Some of the others don't crimp properly.
