Review on Hiija RJ45 Crimp Tool Pass Through Cat5 Cat5E Cat6 Crimping Tool For RJ45/RJ12 Regular And End-Pass-Through Connectors With 50PCS Connectors, 50PCS Covers And Network Wire Stripper by Matt Buchanan

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Very effective, includes all needed parts at solid price

Solid experience using the crimp tool. I primarily used it on Cat6 (around 30 cables), and a few Cat5e (around 10). Most of the challenges I ran into were my skill level on using this (first time ever crimping ethernet cables), but after doing a few, I was able to do them pretty quickly. I didn't feel a need to use the yellow tool (you can use the crimp tool to score the shielding at an exact diameter, which felt more reliable). I really like the wire pass through feature, so you dont have to pre-cut the wires at the right lengths first. If it's your first time using the tool, look up a video tutorial, then practice on a cable you don't mind messing up on a few times. I had some very short ethernets traced through the walls that i couldn't risk messing up on, so made a point to do those last.

Pros
  • ‎RJ45 Crimp Tool, RJ45 Plug
Cons
  • The tool may be too bulky for some users
