Network Tool Kit for Cat5 Cat5e Cat6, 11 in 1 Portable Ethernet Cable Crimper Kit with a Ethernet Crimping Tool, 8p8c 6p6c Connectors rj45 rj11 Cat5 Cat6 Cable Tester, 110 Punch Down Tool

Outstanding value for this price. Calling a technician to wire up my patch panel would cost more than this DIY kit.Tools are precise and sharp enough to cut Ethernet wires, and really easy to use.

Overall, I'm really happy with this toolkit and highly recommend it. I have a lot of tools, and I can spot garbage pretty quickly. This is not garbage. Well constructed and precise. Actually, I'm super impressed with the cost/quality ratio. At my local Lowes, just the crimper tool was over 2x the cost of this entire kit! Some things to note:1. Have extra wire/cable and connectors and plan on screwing a few up while you learn the tools and get them calibrated for what you are doing.2. I have never needed this tool until a squirrel chewed through a security camera feed CAT5e cable. So, I had to screw up several times to get it right.3. The instructions are mostly good. But... There is a confusing section where it attempts to tell you how to line up the 8 wires in the CAT5e cable. The problem is that the first, and larger image, isn't the order to follow. You have to look at the smaller image, and ignore the larger one. It would have been great if the user manual editor would have clearly shown the correct order to arrange the individual wires in the larger image.4. Really, this is an AWESOME kit for a great price! Just watch some YouTube videos on how to properly construct a new cable. Build a few cables to get the process down and it's actually really easy.5. You might consider buying/ordering extra RJ45 connectors as the kit only comes with five, and you might choose to sacrifice those as part of your learning curve.6. Lowes and Home Depot both have bulk CAT5e cable. My local Lowes had it for 9 cents per foot, or $9 per 100 feet. Compare that to pre-packaged for $28 / 100 feet.

For the price this kit did the trick. I had a cable installer (a lazy cable installer) that split off a cat 5 cable to run 2 lines from the 1 cable. Needless to say that limited me to a T base 100 speed from my Gigabit Router. This little relatively inexpensive kit let me clean up and punch down the Cat 5 Keystone jack upstairs, put a new RJ-45 end, on that UGLY (and unprofessional looking) cable termination and easily test the cable before hooking up to my switch. That took my speed up from 50 Mbps to 230 Mbps. Great value to me at the price of the kit.Now I gave 4 stars because to be honest this is NOT a professional kit. It's build quality makes it more of a home owner / hobbyist kit. The crimp tool is NOT a ratcheting tool and would probably not stand up to professional data work. The tester worked good, but is plastic and would not take much abuse. The punch down tool worked ok and did cut the wires after a couple of tries. I am used to a different style of 110 punch down and it's been awhile to be fair. The included RJ-45 jacks are the modular jacks and worked good. The pins were straight and fully seated after the crimp and the cable jacket crimp was secure, so all good there. I didn't get a chance to use the cable strippers as there was about 5 inches of just twisted pairs out of the cable jacket he used to make the 2 RJ-45 ends and I just cut that off with snips.Overall, this kit is worth the money if you understand that it's a light to medium duty kit and don't expect it to perform like a high dollar pro kit.

Great set of tools.

I only needed to use a few of the tools, so I'm limiting my review to those.Used these in rewiring an office's network.The good:The yellow cutter/stripper tool is really efficient when stripping a large number of wires.The white wire punch down was a life saver in connecting some 50+ network lines to the RJ45 patch panels.The bad:The network line tester was cracked, and only partially worked. It could tell if a line was connected or not, but not indicate for all 8 lines. It did enough to get by but if I had to do a job like this again, I'd get a better line tester.The rest of the tools seem like good quality, but I didn't need to use them.I'd recommend it if you want something cheap.

We moved into a new construction home that had some ethernet wires in the wall plates, but there were no ends on the wires. This kit worked perfect both from the install and testing side. I wasn't sure I could do it, but it wound up being a lot easier than I thought. Definitely worth it!
