Works fine [Posted on 2008-04-12]
First time I ever crimped the ends of ethernet cables, and had no problems using this tool. Works well for its intended purpose.

Great tool especially for the price [Posted on 2008-05-14]
Paired with plugs I was able to fix several CAT 5 cables in minutes on my first try. Good instructions on the back of the packaging.

Great Buy! [Posted on 2008-05-20]
This is a great product to cap your cat5 cables. I make cables everyday and you will like the speed of this tool as an all in 1 item. I go through usually 1 a year. Keep in mind that I use this tool ALOT! This tool should never cost you over $20.00. You will like the sturdy structure of this tool.

Thank you,
Eric

No problems, works just like it should. Seems very durable. [Posted on 2008-07-23]
I am not a professional and do not use this crimper everyday, but for light use here and there I am completely satisfied with this tool. I have used it to do both 6 and 8 pin plugs and it works fine on both. I have not used the wire stripping feature, though.

The ratcheting mechanism on it seems kind of useless and is difficult to get to stay in the locked position, but it's really not a necessary feature anyway.

Would highly recommend, especially for the price.

Hasn't failed me yet. [Posted on 2008-08-31]
It works well as a crimper. I've never had a connector fail yet. As a jacket stripper it could work in a pinch, but you have to push the cable into the blade because the groove is too big and it tends to nick the conductors. Not a big deal as I bought a separate stripper. Don't expect to get by without buying a separate stripper yourself unless you only plan on doing a couple connections.
