Review: Fantastic piece of kit - UPDATE: Thought I'd update my review for this piece of kit now it's been used a bit. Still works great, and saves me a ton of time with the wire stripper - all you have to do is twist and it's gone. Super simple to use once you get the knack of it. Would recommend this to anyone looking for a cable crimper, and my colleagues at work are swapping their own ones for these. Fantastic piece of kit. Feels sturdy in your hand. The various blades do the job quickly. Crimps the connectors firmly.
Review: Crimp some cables! - These crimpers work really well, and I am impressed at the quality. The cable cutting and stripping tools work extremely well and make prepping the cable super easy. The ratcheting mechanism has saved my bacon a few times too. It's great when you accidentally slip or need to adjust your grip, and ensures you crimp correctly every time. I'd definitely recommend these.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: does this crimp Cat 6 cables**
A: The answer is yes, it does crimp both cat 6 and cat 5 grade RJ-45 connectors. While the connectors are different internally, from the outside, they are identical.

**Q: I've never stripped a cable with the crimping tool before. Does this crimper do a good job at that?**
A: hey Zack! although this tool will strip the plastic sleeve from the Cat5 cable I never use this. not sure whether you know this or not and pardon me if I'm stating the obvious but you don't strip the individual strands on Cat5 cable. anyway, I use a little yellow cable stripper to "strip" the plastic sleeve from the Cat5 cable, if you like I can find it for you, it's a simple yellow plastic tool that's around $7 I think. you place the Cat5 cable in the tool, it clamps down and you twist the tool around the cable 2-3 times, works well. I've never used the tripper in the crimping tools, they always cut into the strands too much imo

**Q: Will this work on shielded RJ45 connectors?**
A: no, it fits only unheralded connectors

**Q: does this tool works on cat 6**
A: Yes

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is a great tool.
*by M***X on 8 August 2014*

This was my first time crimping RJ46 ends. It cut the plastic sheath without damaging the inner wires, crimped the RJ45 ends with ease and helped repair/make several cables without fault. It feels comfortable to use to this novice and I'd be confident using this to make lots more cables. This tutorial was a big help (the unwrapping order makes all the difference): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8AijuC8Nb_E I learned this later: Once cut, the thread should be used to peal the sheath back to expose more wire just in case they were damaged. Will be doing this with all future cables.
