VCEGJ670BL RJ45 Crimp Tool, Pass Through Ethernet Crimping Tool for Cat5 Cat6 Cat7 End Pass-Thru Connector, Support Stripping & Cutting

Great piece of kit

I've been making up RJ45 connectors for about 30 years and they still annoy me as it's so difficult to see if the wires are inserted correctly before you crimp. So I decided to take the plunge and invest in these crimps for the pass-thru connectors. A complete revelation, why didn't I get these earlier? The 8 wires go all the way through the connector so you can see instantly that they are correct, the crimps then make the connection and trim the excess wire in one operation. Cheap deal on Prime Day made extra sense, I'm using the VCE connectors but there's no reason why other brands wouldn't work. The correct sequence for 568A and B standards is printed on the tool, there are built in cutters and strippers and you get spare blades in the pack, they feel solid and well made and are really compact so take up much less space in the toolbox than a traditional pair. My only negative comment is that the design means these are not really suited to left handed use and I'm left handed, but they have a decent easy action so it's not really a problem.

Fairly easy to use, gets better with practice. Cable sheath cutting function is poor with thin cables.

Works perfectly to crimp RJ45 ends

Really good tool, made terminating my cat 6 and shielded DB cat 6 cable a breeze.

I'd just run a Cat6 cable around the house to expand my home network. I came to make the RJ45 ends.Three days, many failed crimped RJ45 connectors and a frayed temper later, I gave up trying to make a successful connector (that and I ran out of connectors!) with one or more strands either in the wrong order or not pierced.Looking for alternatives, I found pass through RJ45 connectors and this crimping tool. Result? 100% success rate and my sanity restored.It's now all so easy. Pass through each strand, check it's in the correct pin, place in the crimping tool, press the handle. Job done! It even trims the excess. This tool is perfect.Just make sure you get some quality RJ45 plugs too.

Have bought many of these over the time as i take them and show people how good it is and how easy it makes terminating cat 6 cables. Saves so much time and money. very strong and sturdy metal with good grip so your hands wont get crampy.

I needed new crimpers, and really like the idea of feed thru connectors, so these crimpers ticked all the boxes.They are well made and quite compact which is handy for slipping into a pocket. I liked that they had a colour coded wiring diagram on the crimps, simple idea and useful.Threading a CAT6 cable into the feed thru RJ45 plug is pretty fiddly and isn't actually any easier than making up a standard plug - I was using a heavy external cable so maybe it's better with regular cable. But it is a lot easier to check the wiring is correct before committing to the crimp.Overall I'm pleased with the crimps, perhaps not as easy to use as I'd hoped but they do a neat job reliably.
