Cable Matters Modular RJ45 Crimping Tool for Shielded Pass Through Connectors

Quality, ease of use, value, durability, functionality - it has it all, I love it

I’ve gone through several crimping tools and still not found the ideal tool. It gives a good clean cut on the cables and strips the sheaths easily. The only part that is lacking is the crimping function - maybe it is poor connectors but it always requires a double press and then visual inspection to ensure a good connection.

Leaves about a millimeter of cable poking out of the passthrough, which is not an issue I've had before even on bargain basement crimpers half the price of these. Disappointing as this brand is usually pretty solid for quality.

Recieved the item and it had clearly been used and returned previously. Leftover cable on the cutting blade, writting on the base in permenant pen and the rubber grip was dirty.

The tool itself is great, but sadly sending it back as whenever you terminate RJ45 ends it leaves about 1mm of cable sticking out, and if you hold the end and do it it just bends the cable; I've tried both blades it comes with and both blades have some issue I believe its a design fault, I did contact the company themselves but seams like the prosses would take some days + to resolve so I'm just returning it via Amazon and ordering a Klein one

Completely shoddy item, plugs constantly get stuck , meaning you have to strip down wasting valuable time on a job, the blade does not cut the ends , always one or two left, AVIOD.

I am now able to terminate cables with 100% success meaning I save time, money and effort. Should have started using pass-through RJ45s years ago. Would recommend.
