Klein Tools VDV026-813 Pass-Thru Cable Installation Kit

Like: This uses Pass-thru wires, extend thru the RJ45 connector and get cut at crimp time. Much easier than the insert and pray style connectors. Like: Connectors are good quality. Dislike: Would have liked some rubber boots thrown into the kit. Dislike Seriously! : There is no cable wire stripper. Must purchase as a separate item. How costly to the CFO's bonus would it be to throw that into the kit. It's plastic and a blade. C'mon Klein. Would I buy again? Might check out some cheaper alternatives that give more in the kit, but I was very pleased with the connections and ability to test after making it. The tester is great.

Good quality crimper and tester

Works like it should, makes life easy. I'm not a pro so only use it once in awhile when running cable. Takes the guesswork out.

Bought this kit to try pass-through connectors. Yes, they are a little easier to work with but after a while, I question whether it was worth buying this kit when I already had the tools to crimp standard connectors. In any case, the crimp tool and the cable tester both work with no issues so Im not dissatisfied with the kit.

crimps and tests ethernet cables. the tester is the fancier type that splits so you can connect it at distant ends and test the cable in place unlike the older style where you needed both ends in one spot. with this and a decent set of dikes you can terminate cables quickly like a pro.

It is a simple tester to see if your cable is wired right or not I wish I got a better meter to diagnose the cable pin by pin so I could see why my cable is midwifed Love the pass through cable ends and crimper saves me a lot of time and waisted ends I would recommend to my friends and family

Has been working for years now.

Just the crimping tool at Home Depot alone is more expensive than the combo here. This was my first time making Ethernet cable and let me tell you the included pass through connectors make it certain you get the wire done correctly. I wish the included tester could test each wire in the Ethernet cable separately but the price would be more. The tester is one of the best I’ve used and buying this combo was a great purchase. Would absolutely recommend 👍🏽

Excelente Kit para RJ45. Esta tecnología te brinda una mejor conexión de los equipos. Muy recomendado.

This kit is great for anyone who is starting out and needs to make some patch cables, or run some cables around the house. It comes with most of what you need, although it does not come with any strippers, which is a handy tool to have. I am very satisfied with my purchase.

Happy with product and delivered on time.

Does not come in original packaging. Battery dead on arrival.

Top quality crimper. This will last me a lifetime. I had a cheaper piece of junk rj45 crimper. That was a waste of time and was frustrating. This Klein makes short work once you have your wires setup correctly. There is a sticker on the crimper for that A or B wiring options.
