Review on πŸ”Œ Introducing the Zoostliss Ethernet Crimping Detector - Now Portable! by Alvaro Delic

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Mediocre - allows you to get by cheaply, but causes extra work or will disappoint you!

Overall good value for money, it helps you get the job done but leaves a lot to be desired. Poor quality crimper. I noticed halfway through the work that it wasn't punching through pin 1 properly, started the tester and some were affected enough to work and others not. I had to urgently buy a more professional version. A punch tool is fine, but half the time it doesn't make a clean punch to cut the wire, so you'll have to do it again or pull out the prybar. The wire stripper is very cheap, feels like it will break after a day or two of use - and the tester is fine at best too, very firm and requires force to pull the connectors out. The rest is fluff, an unnecessary coupler and splitter, 50-cent zip ties, and a bunch of ends. If you buy better quality tools to begin with, you'll spend an extra $20-$30 but won't have to do double the work. It's fine for an occasional repair or patch here or there, it's no good for an entire house or a serious job like this.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Requires power socket
