trueCABLE Crimp Tool for Pass Through RJ45 All-in-One Ethernet Tool: Crimp, Cut, Score - Works with Cat5e, Cat6, Cat6A Shielded and Unshielded Connectors

I really like this tool - it works great with the other stuff trueCABLE makes, but I'm also sure it would work with more generic options. It also feels extremely robust and overall well made. I wasn't sure what the v3 added (since it's not listed on Amazon), so I reached out to trueCABLE and they gave me an immediate and really helpful response! Was super impressed with their customer service. In case anyone is interested, the v3 has the following improvements: - The new feature and biggest difference is the ability to cut cable and crimp external ground collars for shielded cables - Another new feature is the ergonomic spring loaded anti-slip handle that returns to a ready position upon cycle completion - Can use with unshielded, shielded (internal and external ground), pass through, load bar style push in plugs - Self-adjusting cable stripper to accommodate cable jacket ODs from 6.00 to 8.00mm - Trims conductors from the nose of pass-through plugs accurately and automatically, even staggered conductor plugs

Tool is amazingly well built and functional. Has been a godsend on a project I've been working on. Fast cut, strip, and crimp. The T568A/B diagram on the side is also extremely helpful

I was a bit hesitant to buy the crimper after seeing a number of negative comments on the stripper feature. The stripper works fine - the use of the stripper isn't like a traditional stripper where the jacket is removed by the tool. This one is a two step process, where the tools job is to score the jacket - the second step is to take the cable from the tool, and snap the jacket at the score line. Their instructions (written and video) give a clear explanation and make the distinction between their method and some other tools. My main reason to review, is to help others remove the hesitancy I had - the stripper works fine and ensures wires aren't nicked if you use the tool as they indend.

The integrated cable stripper on my tool is useless, and there is no adjustment point. Even using the same branded cable and cable type indication, 6a shielded. I still need a pair of snips to nip the jacket.

My first time using this new tool I noticed the RJ-45 connector wasn't going in all the way. I thought maybe the tool was defective but I soon realized the pass through connectors I was using was the problem. It's hard to describe but I have to shave a small amount off the tip of the connector so it will go all the way in. I have only used one brand of pass through connectors so others may work better then what I bought. As far as the tool it works beautifully. I'm glad I bought this tool. I highly recommend it.

I purchased this as a trial. As a low voltage contractor I crimp a lot of RJ45 modular connectors. I have used Platinum tools crimper and modular ends for years and like the quality but the modular ends are pricey. The price of TrueCable modular ends are approximately a third of the price. This tool feels like it will hold up well, time will tell. I like having one tool to strip the sheath, cut conductors to length and crimp the modular ends on. I like that the handle can be locked in the closed position, unlike the Klein crimper of similar design. So far TrueCable is winning me over.

After receiving the tool, I tested the functions beginning with the cutter. Pass. Then the stripper (inserted TrueCable Cat6 7.10mm outer diameter). Rotated two or three times and pulled. Fail. The stripper just lightly scored the cable jacket without cutting through. I didn't test the remaining functions as I will find another vendor. Otherwise, the design and construction of the tool is excellent.
