Review on Zoostliss Professional Network Computer Maintenance by Larry Blanco

Revainrating 4 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 something 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
  • Great design
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
