I got this crimper tool to aid in setting up a home network in order to convert from WiFi to Ethernet. We only have 4 devices that needed to be connected, but we wanted to be able to connect to Ethernet in multiple rooms. We needed 9 wall jacks to do this, and the wire that supplies each wall jack needs an RJ45 jack. I also needed to be able to make patch cables to plug into the wall jack and the device. I crimped at least 22 connections with this crimper without a glitch! The connectors that I had originally purchased would not fully crimp on solid wire, but the ones supplied with the crimper did! It also came with a cable tester (with its own case!), which has not failed yet. If I could give 6 stars, I would. This is impressive for a $17 or so crimper. Good job, UbiGear!

I bought this primarily for the crimper. So FCC ar I've crimped about 10 RJ45 connectors without issue. The cable tester however worked fine for the first 3 ends and then I started running into problems with my newly crimped ends and noticed that #4 and 5 were always failing. Tried it on a store bought cable that had tested ok before and found #4 and 5 faulty. The tester had already failed and was now adding more work to my project. Now need to buy a higher quality took, thought this would last a little longer than an hour.

This kit has everything you need to assemble cat5 cables. Crimps great and accurate. Used it right out of the box and got my cables made fast. Very good for the price when compared to high end equipment. Works just as good. I recommend this to any savvy Computer Geek or do-it-yourself Computer tech. A+

product is perfect if you use for home use. It is good value for a combo package. If you want to use it for long time, you better go for a better one.
