Rating: - Durable and do what they are supposed to
Good crimpers. Do what they are supposed to.

One thing to know is that the razer for cutting off the very ends of the cord is very sharp. This is very good because it doesn't bend the tips, but cleanly cuts through the. And continued cutting through them after 20+ cuts.

Rating: - Hasn't failed me yet.
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.

Rating: - No problems, works just like it should. Seems very durable.
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.

Rating: - Great Buy!
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

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.
