Review: Brilliant punchdown tool - Very happy. I bought other cheaper ones and they slow me down so I decided I had to upgrade. This is brilliant and very robust. I am happy with my purchase
Review: Good tool - More expensive than other tools but works really well. I made a full 24 port patch panel and a few wall sockets and cable-to-cable couplers without an issue. One useful thing thing is that each blade has a cutting and non-cutting variant. I used a non-cutting one in cases where the cables were too short so I wouldn't have a second chance would something go wrong.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: does this crimp Cat 6 cables**
A: The answer is yes, it does crimp both cat 6 and cat 5 grade RJ-45 connectors. While the connectors are different internally, from the outside, they are identical.

**Q: I've never stripped a cable with the crimping tool before. Does this crimper do a good job at that?**
A: hey Zack! although this tool will strip the plastic sleeve from the Cat5 cable I never use this. not sure whether you know this or not and pardon me if I'm stating the obvious but you don't strip the individual strands on Cat5 cable. anyway, I use a little yellow cable stripper to "strip" the plastic sleeve from the Cat5 cable, if you like I can find it for you, it's a simple yellow plastic tool that's around $7 I think. you place the Cat5 cable in the tool, it clamps down and you twist the tool around the cable 2-3 times, works well. I've never used the tripper in the crimping tools, they always cut into the strands too much imo

**Q: Will this work on shielded RJ45 connectors?**
A: no, it fits only unheralded connectors

**Q: does this tool works on cat 6**
A: Yes
