Tools and Hardware Reviews of Paladin 4909 Network Tool Bundle with Data SureStrip, All-in-One Tool, Non-Impact 110 Punchdown Tool, 10 RJ11 and RJ45 Modular Plugs
Customer Review: Good Tools at Good Value
Summary: 5 Stars
The Crimper
The main tool of the set is the crimper. They have a nice sturdy feel to them and a nice look as well. With the ability to do networking and phone with 4, 6 and 8 pin jacks its grate for doing the hole house. The rachet mechanism also allows for perfect crimps every time.
The Stripers
They work perfect every time. They allow you to cut just enough jacket on the cable without cutting the wire to pull it off easily. makes very clean cuts and strips. They have rules on the side and are adjustable to allow different cable size.
The Punchdown tool
This is the only failed part of the set. It is non impact so it could get annoying to your arm after a few punches and the first time I went to use it only 2 of the 8 wires where cut. Still its nice to have in the set if your only going to do a few or as and extra as its small. I personally got a professional tool.
Who its for
Any one that's looking for a good price on data/networking tools for a small job or an average user that need a good set. There are more expensive tools out there but these will work the same with the exception of the punchdown tool.
Customer Review: Good tools - never buy overpriced ethernet cable again!
Summary: 5 Stars
These tools and connectors are high-quality and easy to use. Within hours of receiving it, I was able to:
- Run 80ft of ethernet across my home, with only a 1/4 inch hole on either end.
- Create several custom-length cables -- 1ft for connecting my cable modem to my router, 7ft to connect my PC without having extra cable coiled behind the computer.
I haven't needed to use the punchdown tool, so I can't comment on it. But everything else is great.
For making your own cable, I would recommend buying bulk Cat5e online or at your local hardware store. Home Depot and Lowes actually have pretty good prices for 100ft runs.
Customer Review: Great Tools - Great Price
Summary: 5 Stars
The Pladin Tools are of excellent quality and at a great price. I highly recomend them.Customer Review: Great crimper
Summary: 5 Stars
The crimper: I have been very satisfied with this crimp tool. comfortable grip, 4 pin, 6 pin, and 8 pin plugs all in one tool without changing dies. that ratchet function is nice if you happen to for whatever reason not squeeze hard enough on the first go. even the built in shielding stripper is pretty good for one thats built into the crip tool, takes a little practice to find the right pressure so you dont nick the pairs inside. also, built in striper for silver satin cat3 works great
The stripper: a nice add in, adjustable for whatever cables you are using (for example outdoor cabling has rather thick shielding, and sometimes multiple layers). however, i tend to only bring it out when there are lots of cables to be terminated in a row.
The punchdown tool: works as expected. Personally i prefer the non-impact for 110's as usually its the backside of a walljack and the impact of some tools can be rough on the plastic if it doesnt cut the first time.
Use: I have been using this professionally for about half a year, no problems, perfect crimps, very satisfied. This would also be a great tool / bundle for the weekend warrior cabling up their home.
Customer Review: High quality product!
Summary: 5 Stars
The crimp tool is excellent, the stripers makes very clean cuts and strips, it took about 5 min. to fix what i need, with absolutely no problem. Great product!
