Does this crimp well on all Cat5e and 6 pins? I don't want to take a flat head screwdriver out to press in any uncrimped pins

I've done hundreds of crimps on many different brands of cat5/E Cat6 ends. I have yet to see this tool not crimp a pin correctly or fail at any level. Hope this helps.

Where are these made?

The big selling point point for me is that all Klein products are made in the USA by Americans and that they never outsource. For me that's what keeps me coming back to Klein even if is more costly. I want to know also if this is made outside the US and then is it only this tool or more of them? I will still buy Klein, but only those items made in the US.

This crimper does not cut the excess wire from the end of the EZ RJ45 connector. This is a separate step requiring a flush cutting tool.

Does this crimper lock in the closed position for storage?

Yes. There is a small knob on the side you turn to release. When you have a plug in the crimper performing a crimp, it will not lock (as an added benefit).

Great.

Bought in Jan 2026 to reteriminate some cat6 leads for a CCTV install after wasting money on a cheaper kit and this saved the day. Only issue is I needed one for pass through plugs but I was able to trim the excess off myself.

Professional, well made tool.

I bought this item on recommendation from another website which reviewed these types of tool for professional use. So far I have had no issues with it. It works perfectly except I was expecting more of a ratcheting effect, especially as it had a ratchet release knob. That's why value for money and sturdiness only get a 4 star rating.

V good rj45 crimper

Works first time for every jack I’ve crimped More expensive than the typical ones people will see but better quality. I had a Draper crimp that would always be hit and miss and that was 18quid and still didn’t do the job properly Lesson for life, buy cheap buy twice

Good value

The stripper on CAT 5 works flawlessly. Never a nicked wire. The crimper also works great. The ratchet grip is nice and easy on the hands. Since I got this tool for commercial use it’s important to have a good crimp every time. I’m almost %100 on every data line crimp. Well worth the money
