In the last 10 years I've probably made over 100 cables for home projects and because my cables need to be as accurate as possible for aesthetic reasons. These are the easiest end connectors I have ever used on a LONG leg. They also need pliers, but they can be closed with a firm surface for hand pressing. I've used these and the women's Keystones and the tool-free option is fantastic, especially when you're finishing a run behind the TV or through a wall. If you've ever had to crimp a termination using the old tool-based system, you'll be very satisfied. If you do NOT have a good connection or need a longer cable, just cut a new piece of cable and you can reuse it. I couldn't be happier!
