I have and have had (tools have been stolen) nearly every Pass Thru Crimper on the market and can confidently say that this particular Klein Stripper is the best experience I have had with cheap AliExpress Pass Thru ends.

I use the 100 Pack for $4.54
You will notice a similar tool from ZoeRax that is yellow. It works. It is slightly smaller and is a mirror image, you have to flip this tool 180 in your hands compared to the Klein. If you don't do this work day in and day out, I can recommend that $10-11 tool to get you through the job or for installing a few Security cameras as a DIYer.

The sheath cutter works well and the crimper never fails.
Would be super nice if there was an easier way to trim the wires evenly and cut the inner core out.
I bring a pair of scissors for that currently.
But I have known installers and facilities that refuse to use them.
100% agree. My cables run close to 100% working once I switched to this tool. It's awesome!
I am certain, however, that I have used it for non-pass-through connectors as well.

Yes, buying premade patch cable is the best but once a while I will need something odd at work so I use this. I probably won't pay this much for home use but then that's a small price in the scheme of things at work.

The passthrough crimp saves quite a bit of time and improves overall quality of the termination, at least in my experience. I don't do a ton of termination, but when I've got to do 50 or 100, I strongly prefer this style vs the classic trim first, then crimp ends. I get far less finger fatigue in a day of work.

It's cheaper, smaller, and chances are you will never crimp an RJ-11 anyway.

It sounds like OP has never used these or any pass-through connectors as they have just heard from word of mouth. I work with lots of low voltage techs and they all use pass-through connectors with most using these crimpers and a handful using the Platinum Tools crimpers.
