Klein Tools Ratcheting Cable Crimper and Stripper - VDV226110

Klein Tools Crimping Tool is Top Notch.

This crimper implements the new pass-thru technology and makes cable making more reliable, faster and easier.

First off the crimper uses pass-thru technology. The 8 wires for RJ-45/6 wires for RJ-11 actually push through the end of the connectors (sold separately). This ensures that there's not more crimping an end, and the wire wasn't far enough into the end and you crimp it and the short wire doesn't hit the crimp or has a bad connection.

The crimper is high quality and even has a wiring diagram on the side of it saving you time when needing to verify the wiring layout.

The crimper crimps the connector and cuts the wires off the front of the connector.

It even has a ratcheting feature, so you know when the crimping/cutting cycle is done.

Of course they cost more than the generic ones, which I have purchased in the past, and this one is a lot nicer and more reliable than the inexpensive ones. It's worth the extra money in my opinion. It's worth the time not having to re-crimp an end because it didn't take. One or two non re-crimps pays for this tool in the extra time you save not having to do that.

Since buying this, I haven't had to redo the ends on any cables I've created.

I really like this crimper. .I like it enough to do a review on it. I usually don't waste my time on reviews unless I have problems. In this case, I'm willing to donate 5 minute of my time for others as I like this product a lot. Read full review

Works as expected.

I really wish the crimper had labeling on each side of the stripper/cutter. I've now learned which is on which side, and bot of the strippers are next to each other. One annoying thing is that when you trim the wires, all of the cut pieces fall into the channel of the lower handle, and fall out as soon as you reorient the crimpers. I have seen few without this problem, aside from those with solid handles, but I would love these even more if they could fix that problem so I can trim cables over a trash can.Read full review

Much easier to use for old blind guys.

Just like a standard crimper, only easier to use. Makes better cables too.

Great Quality Product!

Quality Product! Used today for first time. Works Great terminated ends like a pro. Good idea to use Klein rj45 pass through jacks to get the best results. They cost more but it's worth it!

Brand new in great shape.

Klein Pass Through Crimper VDV226-110

Works as designed for the Pass Through and found to also work on standard RJ-45 (non Pass Through Jacks) Although not designed for it, May have to do with the way some jacks are made, mainly the retention clip. If the RJ-45 has a thick clip it may dull the blades. But you can do a side by side comparison to see if it will work for you as a single tool.
Great Crumping tool for the beginner and experienced VoIP/Network/Security/Telecom technician. A must have for Pass Through RJ-45’s.Read full review

Good but a bit expensive

Used this only once so far. I bought the Klein connectors but they are more expensive than generic. But the first experience was good. It crimped well and cut the wires cleanly (which I read other tools do not always do)Read full review
