Review on πŸ”§ TRENDnet Crimping Tool - Multi-Functional Ethernet and Telephone Cable Tool by Daniel Mind

Revainrating 4 out of 5

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 have to be careful with the stripping tool. I've had a few instances where I stripped the outer jacket too deeply, accidentally cutting several pairs of wires in the process. But with practice I was able to strip the wires and that didn't happen. Considering the low price of this tool, it is excellent value for money and I would highly recommend it.

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Something different
