Review on Klein Tools VDV226-110 Ratcheting Crimper/Stripper/Cutter for RJ11/RJ12 & RJ45 Connectors by Mufti Capers

Revainrating 4 out of 5

PERFECT. PERFECT for power tools and hand tools

I've made thousands of connections in my time and while I wish someone had found a much easier way, I saved so much time with these crimping pliers. I had to make a little over 100 ends and EVERY one of them came out perfect. 100%. I don't know what other people are talking about in their reviews. say they don't cut the crimpers through to the end? You're just doing something wrong. These tweezers will cut all ends on the first try. Come to think of it, I almost bought these due to inaccurate reviews. You still need to pull, straighten, and arrange the wires before inserting them into the connector, but having them pass through the ferrule allows you to ensure the colors are still in the correct order before making the final crimp. I still can't stand twisting and straightening wires until your fingers feel like they're bleeding, but a great tool. Buy this tool and ignore people who don't know how to use it.

Pros
  • Delivery was very quick
