Review on Complete Network Tool Kit With Hiija LAN Cable Tester, RJ45 Crimp Tool, CAT5E CAT5 Crimper, And 50PCS RJ45 CAT5 CAT5E Connectors And Covers For Efficient Ethernet Setup by George Woods

Didn't realize that you get what you pay for

My house is full of small DIY holes from the previous owner that aren't big enough to fit the RJ45 head of an ethernet cable through. Rather than widen those holes I decided to use this tool so I could use them as is. I didn't realize that a crimp tool could be bad, I just assumed I was screwing something up until I read some other reviews and knew what to look for. My tool also failed to push the RJ45's teeth into the wires and make a connection. It took probably 4 or 5 tries until it finally worked. Wouldn't be comfortable trying to make very specific length wire due to that issue, and it's probably worth spending a little more to get something that consistently works.
