2 out of 5 eggsCutting Blades

Pros: Crimps without issue

Cons: Both cutting blades broke (one on the right side and one on the left... I noticed that you can remove the left side and replace but the cutter on the left is fixed. Fortunately I have a good wire cutting tool available.

5 out of 5 eggsWonderful Little Crimper

5 out of 5 eggsGreat Value

Pros: * Ratcheting
* Solid construction
* Great design
* Price

Cons: * None

Other Thoughts: I make LOTS of cable, and for the price, this is one EXCELLENT little crimper! I have an older one I've been using for the last couple years with no more features than this one, only it doesn't ratchet. You really have to hoss down on it to get a good crimp. It cost at least $10 more than this one.

5 out of 5 eggsSolid

Pros: Feels very solid. I have only used this for some home projects (about 30 cables or so). Definitely feels like it could be used every day for years with no issues.

Cons: Occasionally the ratcheting mechanism gets stuck even when you have fully crimped the plug but its really easy to just turn the release mechanism and pop it open so its no big deal.

5 out of 5 eggsExcellent Crimp Tool

Pros: High durability and easy to use, I've made many cat 6 cables with no problems using this crimp tool.

Cons: none.

Other Thoughts: There are other higher priced crimp tools on the market, there is no need.. these do the job just as well as those.

(Note: this tool does not include any sort of pin out for network cabling anywhere on the body so if you don't make a lot of cable you may need to look it up while/before creating cables)

4 out of 5 eggsExcellent value

Pros: For the $19.00 I paid, the crimper seems to be an excellent over-all value. Good, solid all-metal construction that should hold up well and give years of service. Fairly compact for use in tight areas. Integrated stripper/cutter is very handy.

Cons: None apparent.

5 out of 5 eggsvery solid tool

Pros: Not much to say about this. I was a bit skeptical at first because of the low price, but this is a solid tool, well constructed, with good features.

If you are going to use the built in wire stripper for CAT6 only click in the stripper blades two times. You have to be very careful, because the tool ratchets down WAY more after just two clicks. But because of the plastic guard that runs through the middle of CAT6, it puts the wires closer to the coating and doesn’t give room for them to squeeze inwards. If you ratchet down further you will cut the wires. So again, two clicks. Then just twist the wire around in the blades or spin the crimper around the wire (like you would with an older CAT5 wire stripper) to get a full cut.

Cons: None at this price range. Very good feeling tool

Other Thoughts: Hope my advice on CAT6 helps someone. I went through a few inches of cable before I got it down.
