Ratings & Reviews for Klein Tools Ratcheting Ethernet Cable Crimper/Stripper/Cutter, for Pass-Thru
Ratings may include incentivized customer reviews.
What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise this crimper for its ease of use, consistent performance, and innovative pass-through design that eliminates trimming excess wire. The ratcheting mechanism delivers clean, reliable crimps with minimal effort, while the one-squeeze crimp-and-cut function and built-in stripper streamline the terminating process. Most users report professional results and appreciate its precision and durability. However, some report recurring issues with pins 1 and 8 failing to cut fully, leading to loose connections. A few note blade wear after heavy use. Despite these concerns, most consider it a worthwhile investment for network installation and DIY projects.

Junk
Would Not RecommendSame issue as the majority of the review here with cable 1 and 2. The crimper Worked well for 2 3 months. After I started noticing my tester, scout pro 3, saying 1 and 2 are failing. Reterminated over 6 times and same issue each time. Saw the reviews on this site after looking up this crimper. Now I know it's not me or the cable. Used a different crimper that a Co worker had and it worked flawlessly.

was good when it was working
I purchased one of these about three years ago and have made dozens of patch cables and it work great. The other day I try to make was termination on some older cable and pin 1 & 2 keep failing. Then I tried on some newer cable and was having the same issue. Hopefully you have corrected the issue

Great Tool
Super easy to use and effective tool. I have used traditional network tools and was recent having issues with mine, so I bought this. With the crimp and cut in all one squeeze function, it makes it super easy and fast.
