Review on Crimper Stripper Cutter Pass Thru Connectors by Jamal Gignilliat

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Look no further! Fits Crimping Machines

I was searching the market for some network tools when I came across Klein Tools VDV226 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B076MGPQZQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_p3KRE which are very similar), . I was very interested in Klein crimping machines because they can work with RJ11 and RJ45 connectors and they have handy ordering instructions for UTP cable printed on the body. But I never had to buy them because I checked little by little that they hadn't cut the wires on pins 1 and 8 for RJ45. After some more searching I came across this crimping tool from PETECHTOOL and it was sold. Having never used feed-through terminals, I initially thought people were just picky about small-scale crimping tools that don't cut wires on pins 1 and 8; But after using these PETECHTOOL crimping machines, I can tell you that your complaints are valid. The wires MUST be cut flush with the end of the terminal or the connection will fail due to a poor fit. Wire cutters or even flush cutters can't do this, you have to use an exacto blade and risk cutting yourself to get the cut you want if the crimping tool doesn't cut the wire properly. PETECHTOOL, although it didn't have an RJ11 option or wire guide, didn't have any negative reviews to make me turn them down, and they were cheaper than Klein's! I don't see a need to make phone cords in the near future and the only thing I would need a manual for would be if I were making a crossover cord, so I bought PETECHTOOL and it's worth every penny. It cuts and crimps the connectors perfectly every time and comes with a punch tool! The only thing I would recommend is not to push too hard when removing the outer insulation or you'll cut the twisted pairs, but as long as you remember that cutting the insulation is fine! Why are you still reading this? Buy these villains NOW! You will not be disappointed.
