Review on TL-N568R Network Crimping Tool 8P Modular Holder - Steel, Lightweight, Compact & Durable With Keyway. by Mark Cole

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not quite the tool for the job...

I had high hopes for the TL-N568R Network Crimping Tool, but unfortunately it fell short of my expectations. While the steel construction made it sturdy and durable, and the compact size was convenient for storage and transport, the tool itself didn't quite perform as I'd hoped. One major issue was the modular holder - it just didn't seem to hold the connectors in place as securely as I would have liked. This resulted in some misaligned crimps and even a few connectors that just wouldn't stay in place. Additionally, the keyway was a bit trickier to use than I had anticipated, making it difficult to get the tool lined up just right. That said, the lightweight design of the TL-N568R was definitely a plus, and I appreciated the overall portability of the tool. If you're in need of a basic network crimping tool and don't mind taking the time to get the hang of it, this one could certainly be a decent choice. But for someone who wants to get the job done quickly and efficiently, it might be worth considering a different tool with a more user-friendly design.

Pros
