Tools and Hardware Reviews of TRENDnet RJ-11/RJ-45 Crimp/Cut/Strip Tool TC-CT68 (Blue)
Customer Review: Got It To Work On First Try
Summary: 4 Stars
The crimper works well and seems very solid and heavy. Minus a star because the instructions included are minimal at best. I found a few videos online that were helpful. I bought this because it always ended up that on cables I would buy (from Amazon) would eventually wear out on the plastic part that is supposed to snap in to your ethernet socket. Eventually the snap was gone creating a loose connection that would easily slip out. This ends up being a very inexpensive way to have a 'new' cable. Since I have had no luck with wireless routers I'm dependent on ethernet cables and this is a great tool and money saver.Customer Review: Great Buy!
Summary: 5 Stars
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
Customer Review: Great Tool great price!
Summary: 5 Stars
This tool is simple to use and makes excellent connections the first time you use it. I would suggest the TRENDware CABLE TESTER 10/100 COAX & TP ( TC-NT2 ) along with this purchase to check out your connections to complete the job correctly. You will not be sorry you purchased these items prior to the start of the job to get it done right the first time.Customer Review: Great crimper, just the best
Summary: 5 Stars
It can crimp, it can cut, an also has a little space where you can strip your cable without damaging the threads (apart from the cutter), just perfect.
It has a mechanism to prevent damage over the connectors, allowing just the necessary pressure over them. If it isn't enough pressure, no problem, you can adjust it, it has a little knob.
Customer Review: Great crimper, poor stripper
Summary: 4 Stars
This was my first attempt at crimping CAT5 connectors. I bought this item because of good reviews as well as because of its affordable price. As a crimper, the tool is excellent. It could not have made the process easier. Within 5 minutes, I already had my first cable complete. However, I cannot say the same of the wire stripping feature. The wire stripper was poor at best. When I used the stripping feature just as described on the packaging, I found that it would completely cut some of the wires, particularly those toward the edge of the casing. As a result, I found myself putting the cable toward the back end of the blade and manually rotating in to cut the casing, this worked wonders, but wasn't nearly as easy as it should have been if the wire stripper had actually worked correctly.
Overall, I'm very happy with the purchase. The price was great, and now I'm crimping cables like a pro. My only complaints were that the stripper did not work very well and it would have been nice if it included a diagram of the standard color ordering of a CAT5 cable, though I found a diagram very easily on the Internet.
