Ratings & Reviews for Klein Tools VDV Apprentice Cable Installation Kit with Scout Pro 3, 6-Piece

Cat 6 RJ11 AND RJ45 Crimper

The tool was durable and well made. However, it was very tedious to align the wires and proper orientation for crimping. A pass-through design would be much easier to use.

Ok

I like this product a lot.I think the depth gate is off a little bit for what it needs to do

Cat5e all over the house! works as described

The self trimming part takes a few tries to figure out properly. Instructs included aren't the greatest. Know what you're doing before you buy.

Mediocre multitool

They will get the job done but better to use separate tools

Make a better product

The cable crimper doesn't automatically cut pass through connectors so have fun wasting your time with extra steps. The cable stripper on the crimper cut too deep and sheared one of the twisted pair cable (yes even when being careful). No man can fit their fingers in the scissor handle, and the tester lacks any workable instructions on how to test cable connections. I expected much better from Klein.

I will only buy impact from now on.

I debated whether to but this or the cheap version. well worth the extra money. I would recommend this to anyone.

Right thing right time

Exactly what was needed and was in stock when i needed it

Smooth as butter!

This tool is awesome. I have been using the crimp style for about 40 years and the difference is amazing. It is easy too use and makes the process much faster. The results are a perfect connection.

Great Cable Tester!

Great for testing my Cables & Ethernet RJ45 cables. It also can identify 5 other cables! Great tester a must for my recording studio wiring & cat6.

Fast Shipping

Works better than expected.

Works awesome

Works as expected!

Worth it!

Works great! It is very nice with the extra remotes to test multiple connections at once AND you can use it as a signaler to tone cables.

Cable tester

Works well. Can check five outlets at once. Wish it came with connector feed thru's. That way could test five cable ends as well

Quality tools a must for quality work.

When I worked as a union lead forman in the area of comercial phone and data infrastructure builds. Back then I bought the tools I used on the job from Lowes. They stayed with me throughout my carrear. Lately I wanted to upgrade my "Ziply Fiber network in my home. and because I am now retired I needed to get some tools of the trade. I went to HM-Dpt but the punch down tool as an example distroyed my cat 6a cable. Remembering that I had originally bought my tools at Lowes I went back to Lowes onc...

Really works

I love this product it works like it’s supposed to and gave no problem easy to use. The best part is that I can reuse it as well for a very good price.

Perfect for Home Hardwiring

I recently purchased this for a home hardwiring project after a first attempt failed. Seemingly defeated I grabbed this tester which immediately was able to identify multiple problems. Using this I was easily able to determine three different problems in my first pass immediately. An incorrectly wired end, incomplete pass thru of lines, and a run that was simply too long.
