Tools and Hardware Reviews of TRENDnet RJ-11/RJ-45 Crimp/Cut/Strip Tool TC-CT68 (Blue)
Customer Review: Hasn't failed me yet.
Summary: 4 Stars
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.Customer Review: Inexpensive way to find out that you need something better...
Summary: 2 Stars
The one I purchased managed to crimp about six cat6 plugs before developing a consistent problem with pin8. I hoped to get more use out of it but I guess you get what you pay for. It is possible that the product is less effective with cat6. Although I have seen it advertised for use with either cat5/6 plugs, Trendnet does not specifically address this on their website other than to say it works with RJ-45. I like Trendnet and have some of their other networking products, so hopefully I just purchased a defective crimper.Customer Review: It's Tool Time
Summary: 5 Stars
Works perfectly every time. Crimper tool was sturdy and well made. This is my first time making my own CAT5 cables. Very easy to use, a no brainer tool. Just Google for instructions on how to make your own CAT5 wires. I bought 200 ft of cable from Amazon for cheap and made enough cables to connect all my internet devices to the high speed router. A wired connection, always on, was faster and more dependable than wireless. Highly recommend this tool.Customer Review: Just what I was after
Summary: 4 Stars
I don't do a lot of cabling but after losing my old crimper I was looking for value. The crimper seems to be good and sturdy and works well enough. It has a Cat 5-type stripper and a flat cable stripper too. I still haven't figured out how to keep the thing closed in my toolbox--there's a "release" knob on the ratchet bar between the two handles but I think that's just operator error on my part. If you are the average computer geek I think this crimper will fill the bill. Decent price and it works.Customer Review: Low cost, and easy

Lowes had a similar product on their shelves for around $70 that included some telephone and ethernet jacks. What a steal compared to that price, and it worked like a charm for my rj-11 crimping job.
