This gives users the ease to repair or terminate cables at desired length, great product

I might still be making up cables for a living if I had found this earlier. I'm 65, with some old gnarly fingers that don't like to do precise work anymore. I've made up about a million (my hands thinks so anyway) rj45 T568B connections. My old crimpers required stripping the outer jacket back, untwisting the wires, then holding them together in a very specific color pattern, trimming them square at just the right length, sliding the 45 connector on and then crimping. If a wire didn't align just right and "jumped" a slot...you cut it off and started over. This crimper starts out the same, strip the jacket, untwist the wires, but then... it's different. You fit each wire in THROUGH the pass through RJ45 connector. This gives you the chance to check the color code mapping BEFORE you crimp and waste a connector. Once your sure the wires are "slotted" correctly, just give them a good tug to make sure they're seated , slide the connector in the tool and squeeze. It trims the wires off flush with the end of the connector, and presses the strain relief into place. The crimps are dead on accurate and the ratcheting mechanism gives you much needed leverage making for easier crimps with less fatigue over traditional crimpers. Awesome value, and a quality tool. Plus, it's more compact and fits in my tool bag easier.

1000/10 Me gustaron mucho, he usado muchas marcas chinas y otras profesionales y siempre tengo problemas con este tipo de cable CAT6 reforzado para exteriores, el cobre es mucho más duro y eso hace que a veces los ponchados no sean 100% exactos, en este caso pasó igual, pero como se aprecia en el video basta con darle uno giros y se caen por sí solos. La gran diferencia es que no tengo que hacer una fuerza grande para ponchar, el agarre se podría dificultar con una mano pero no necesitas gastarte el antebrazo como en otras marcas. De momento las he usado con CAT6 reforzado, el CAT5e y el CAT6 para interiores debe de hacer un corte limpio SIN PROBLEMA. Actualizaré en caso de devolución o problema, muy contento con la compra. El único problema que le veo es que no tiene seguro y tienen que estar siempre abiertas, no como otras ponchadoras de ese tipo, ese detalle es molesto en cierta medida pero te acostumbras.

My first outing to make my own Ethernet cables and this tool worked very well. Although they only mention cat 6 in descriptions it was fine making up my cat 7 connectors. Great bit of kit.
