Klein telecom tools are usually well made, very durable, and excellent quality. This product appears to be just that as well. The pass-through conductor wiring design is new to me and may not be for everyone. But it looks like a great solution especially with included 50-pack of the pass-through type "mod-end" connectors.

I've been using this tool for several years and it's worked great. Compact enough top fit in your pocket and easy to use. The one small complaint is the main cutting blade (not the pass-thru blade) doesn't always create a clean cut when getting all of the wires to length.

If you plan on using this frequently I would recommend also buying a replacement blade set part # VDV999-076 for when they eventually get dull.

Not questioning the quality or Klein tools, but I got a similar one of these on AliExpress for $5 maybe. It's done the job well with limited use

+1 to this review. I've had one for some light work around the house and it's worked great, apart from the odd unclean cut which isn't the end of the world Smilie

You can get cheaper ones, but this is reliable and works so well. I've wired my entire house with it and it made the process so much simpler. Positively paid for itself in reduced stress and time saved.

This is a great tool. If it's not working for your cables make sure you have good connectors, have the wires in the right order, and have the connector in as far as is possible. Here's a good connector:

I'm a low voltage contractor so finally a deal I can chime in on. ....yep that's a crimper. K I chimed in.

There's nothing wrong with this tool, it's professional, will last you years even as a pro (several lifetimes as a home user).

I will also say there is nothing wrong with the $20 variations of passthrough crimpers you can get from other brands.

In general though (in the pro world)...anything with plugs is usually getting a factory made patch-cord. Anything that is a long run is getting keystone jacks put on either end.

It's a good skill to have and is not difficult to learn so at the very least check out a YouTube on it.

The pass-through style is a game-changer IMHO. It is so much easier to align the individual conductors! I am not sure how I ever worked without it albeit I don't use the tool every day lol. This is a really well-made tool from Klein and worth every penny albeit you can probably get generics a lot cheaper these days.

Part of what makes this a deal is the included 50 pack of pass-through connectors.

Seems like a good trusted brand to have for some basic networking DIY at home. I bought one. Thanks OP!

One of my favorite crimpers. I got another pair for $23 last week when Amazon had their "30% off Amazon Resale" deals, though it was only the tool and did not include plugs. Which is fine because my employer buys them in 1000 piece boxes. Not sure how these were "Used like New" when the packaging either was professionally resealed or they were never opened and returned.

I bought a cheap pass thru from ali to try it, since I've been using the other ones since the 90s. Just don't see the benefit since you have to line it up anyway and it exposes opportunities for a short.

You can find kits with the self contained cutters and wire strippers plus ends and cable tester for less...

Fwiw you need solid core wire ethernet.. not old school strand ethernet from 25+ years ago. If properly crimped its as good as a premade cable. There might be a learning curve to get the wires aligned in the correct order... took me 30 mins for that but once you figure out how the wires can curl over each other out of order you can find a way to make that not happen... then just make sure its fully inside the connector and flat--them you can crimp. You need patience to get it right. Then if this is not your job it will become the tool you forget you have, lol
