The Best RJ45 Crimpers I've ever owned
Smooth to operate and the strip back tool works a treat. Feel solid too

Best RJ45 Crimper
If you want solid connections that will last look no further this is an excellent feature heavy tool. Build quality is brilliant. Cable cutter, Strip outer casing, Crimp. It’s a joy to use.

Knipex innit
Although most my crimps re cheaper ones, I fancied a decent brand pair that will stand the test of time. These are sturdy and an addition to my CK pass through crimps. I like to have a few different types.

Reliable crimp tool.
When using these with CAT6 23awg cable they performed perfectly, from scoring the sleeve to crimping the wires into the plug. The only downside I could find is it doesn't trim pass-through cables flush as part of the crimping action. You really can't go far wrong when you buy Knipex...

Quality
Usual excellent Knipex quality. If you want quality products that will last years, then these are for you. Just be warned that these do not do pass through plugs.

No pass through cut no problem
In my experience passthrough cutters never provide the cleanest of slice through a wire. Best practice is to trim before crimp leaving a mm or two, then pull wire back into housing before crimping. This knipex tool is quality and provides a great crimp despite what others have cited

Doesn't cut off excess
I was shocked to discover that these don't even cut off the excess wires in the process of crimping. Would expect more from a reputable name like knipex. Will try some £5 ones off Ali express
