3.0 out of 5 stars Combo deal - RJ-45 crimper and cable tester, April 19, 2010

Everything came as advertised. The crimper was basic in that it did not have a ratcheting closing/release mechanism to ensure proper final closing, however, it did not seem to make any difference and worked for the cables that I made. You can, of course, buy a Palladin for $75 that essentially does the same thing. Good buy for the homeowner making up a small quantity of custom network cable lengths.

This is a decent crimper. Only thing missing is a latch. Be careful of the wire cutter blades, they're very sharp. If you work full time crimping cables often, then I would invest in a better crimper; otherwise, this one is fine for most people. I really wish the crimper would properly strip off the plastic shielding of cat5/6 cables without damaging the wires underneath. Having the cable tester is a big plus; it's great for times when you get link light but no connectivity; you can use the cable tester to check. Considering the price, I would say the quality of both tools is decent.

How in the world do you make a crimp that does not work? It basically has a flawed design that prevents it from crimping the RJ45 correctly. I was sitting there for a freaking hour trying to figure what I was doing wrong before I saw that a plastic piece was improperly welded to the handle. GARBAGE!
