The Crimper
The main tool of the set is the crimper. They have a nice sturdy feel to them and a nice look as well. With the ability to do networking and phone with 4, 6 and 8 pin jacks its grate for doing the hole house. The rachet mechanism also allows for perfect crimps every time.
The Stripers
They work perfect every time. They allow you to cut just enough jacket on the cable without cutting the wire to pull it off easily. makes very clean cuts and strips. They have rules on the side and are adjustable to allow different cable size.
The Punchdown tool
This is the only failed part of the set. It is non impact so it could get annoying to your arm after a few punches and the first time I went to use it only 2 of the 8 wires where cut. Still its nice to have in the set if your only going to do a few or as and extra as its small. I personally got a professional tool.
Who its for
Any one that's looking for a good price on data/networking tools for a small job or an average user that need a good set. There are more expensive tools out there but these will work the same with the exception of the punchdown tool.
Rating: - Easy to use
Quick, easy-to-follow instructions, affordable, took only a few moments to fix one of or cat5 lines.
Rating: - excellent product
I have owned this product for more than six months and I use it every other day (mostly just the crimper and stripper). The punchdown tool is non-impact... but that isn't the main point of the kit so I wasn't concerned. The crimp tool is excellent. It works great every time and there is nothing more satisfying than crimping a fresh cable. The stripper is also a great tool! The manufacturer even put a small ruler on it!
Again, I've had nothing but good experiences with Paladin network tools.
