## 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

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The old krone tool looks fabulous in the bin
*by E***H on 14 August 2023*

I’ve spent far too long struggling with an old BT type kroning tool we all use to use for doing the master and slave phone sockets to do CAT5e/6 data points and racks. Got one of these after seeing several data /I.T chaps using them - so glad I did, the punch down tip and cutter is really slender and strong, it also has a reversible punch down tip and a variable pressure release on the punch down tool. My old knone tool really looks nice in the bin

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ So much better then my old push tool
*by M***N on 16 December 2023*

Set up new network, made short work and much cleaner/faster A+++++ worth every penny.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Crimp some cables!
*by L***N on 24 February 2020*

These crimpers work really well, and I am impressed at the quality.The cable cutting and stripping tools work extremely well and make prepping the cable super easy.The ratcheting mechanism has saved my bacon a few times too. It's great when you accidentally slip or need to adjust your grip, and ensures you crimp correctly every time.I'd definitely recommend these.
