Review on Hiija RJ45 Crimp Tool Pass Through Cat5 Cat5E Cat6 Crimping Tool For RJ45/RJ12 Regular And End-Pass-Through Connectors With 50PCS Connectors, 50PCS Covers And Network Wire Stripper by Chris Tisdale

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Exactly what I needed, crimper works great.

I bought this to run a bunch of Cat6 wire in my house. I didn't want to spend a ton of money and buy a very expensive crimper, because I'm only going to need it very occasionally. After searching on Ebay, I picked this one because of the reviews, the price, and the fact that it came with connectors.As a crimper, it works flawlessly. Couldn't be happier. The cutter part of the tool also works. The part used to strip the wire does not work. I tried it with indoor and outdoor cable (slightly different sizes) and I couldn't strip off the outer insulation with the tool so I used my electrical pliers.It would have been nice for the wire stripper to work, but there are plenty of other ways to strip a wire. What I really needed the tool for was crimping, and in that regard, it worked great. The quality of the tool also seems high. Given the price and included connectors, I'd definitely recommend this tool.

Pros
  • excellent to make my job easier
Cons
  • The connectors may not be compatible with all types of cables, limiting their use
