You can make a living from making ethernet cables? Impressive.

I work for a company that makes lots of different network cables and fibre cables not just cat5e and cat6e cables

I make cat5e and cat6e cables for a living and never have a problem strip the jacket 25mm and straighten the cables with the shaft of a thin screwdriver then group them into colour code cut down to aprox 10mm and push into connector or if cat6 it should come with a little black guide piece that the wires go in first then into the connector

The main trouble with these tools is maintaining the twists of the pairs of wires AND THEN get them in the very small individual holes. Yes, it's easy to get them in if you push then straight it, but unless you maintain the twists, you won't get good signal to noise ratio and you won't get full speed, particularly at megabit speeds. They will work, of course. It's possible to get a special crimper that uses dies, but it's much more expensive.
Personally, I don't think it's worth the effort.
Sockets however, are much easier.
However voted hot for the price. :smiley:

This deal is a complete let down, I was expecting something to help me perfect a four way crimp...
I was totally expecting what I saw when I clicked that link!

I own a pair of these, mine are rubbish and don't squeeze the rj45 connector enough for the barbs to pierce the installation. I would not recommend them, my advise would be to get a pair where you can squeeze as much as you need without the rj45 shaped hole in this pair.

Are you putting the RJ45 connector in the correct side of the crimper?

I on the other hand have the exact same tool and I have successfully created over 20 cables without a problem

Woah... 20 cables!
Are you some kind of crimping superhero?
"oh no! Who will create me a short cable to allow me to connect to this local network "
" Don't fear maa-am for I, Crimp-man, will provide you with the necessary cabling, terminals and education for you to create......... You get the idea

I will say this tho, the unguarded blade is lethal, you will need to put an elastic around the handles to hold it shut when u store it otherwise expect some cuts when you grab it !!

I would be tempted to take the blade off as it comes with a cutting tool so no need for it
