Customers are mixed about the crimping quality of the pliers. Some mention that the priers are good enough for someone like them that doesn't do it all the time, while others say that the the squeezing too enthusiastically could ruin the connector. The crimpers are nice and easy to use, while the cable ends attach to all ports like they should. However, some customers say that they did not crimate as tightly as it should, and the cable jacket does not get crimped.

"...I discovered that squeezing too enthusiastically could ruin the connector...." Read more
"...The box has pics layout of the wiring and step by step. Crimper in nice and easy to use." Read more
"...The only downside I noticed was the clip didn't seem to hold as strong as the original but that doesn't worry me. It works." Read more
Customers are dissatisfied with the alignment of the crimping pliers. They mention that the teeth do not align with the pins, the die does not align, and the blade is not lined up correctly. Some say that the pin on the plier does not line up with the plugs, making it difficult to align the 8 wires.
"...As others have stated, the crimper tool doesn't always line up quite right for cutting cable...." Read more
"...was with the crimper from this kit and you can see the brass teeth are on an angle, higher on the left side of the plug and lower on the right side..." Read more
"...The crimp stinks. I've had allot of issues with the last pin not aligning and having to try to pull the connector back a little or hold it to one..." Read more
"...It was probably just a crooked solder job because of cheap construction (seriously this whole kit is like 20 dollars or something)...." Read more
Customers are dissatisfied with the fit of the crimping pliers. They mention that the RJ45 plug is loose, the case it came in was a very tight fit, and the batteries would not fit. The wire stripper is too tight, and it often cuts the inner conductors. The terminal ends may not fit on thicker cables, and some customers report that the rj45 plugs are trash and not the right size. The crimper is a little tight but otherwise works great, and a cat 5 wire is just a bit smaller and tends to slip out of the tool.
"...Yes, they do have a slight offset to the prongs, but not enough to straddle the copper wire core...." Read more
"...The battery covers did not slide back into place correctly and left a gap, but I have been completely unsuccessful in opening them again to adjust..." Read more
"...it in an wall jack without it being crimped on an ethernet cable, it will not fit...." Read more
"...They just fall out of the jack and tend to snap off if you try to flex them out...." Read more

The yellow wire stripper is useless. When I used it to strip the Cat5e cable it nicked 1 or more wires underneath the outer shield. So I used a small scissors to cut upwards from the end for the length that I needed, then around the cable to reach the wires underneath. I made the mistake of trying to strip the individual wires before inserting them into the clip; not necessary. However, the stripper did a very poor job anyway, either stripping one side of the insulation or cutting through the wire. I have tossed the stripper.
The crimper does a very nice job of piercing the wires and making a good connection. Once I understood how to do it, it was fairly easy and each connection worked well. The tester allowed me to separate the units and put one on the second floor and the base on the other end on the first floor. The clips aren't high quality but they work just fine for my needs. I ran the first two wires from 2nd floor, to the attic, down to the crawl space and back up to the first floor. I put the clips on all 4 ends and used the tester to confirm. I connected to my cable box, the Roku box and the Sony Blu-ray player. All connections tested OK and now no more drops from the wireless connection. I'm going to add a switch to one of the wires and run more Cat5e to other first floor rooms.
How I did the crimps
-Run your wires as necessary in your home
-Strip about a half inch of outer insulation from the end of the Cat5e exposing the 4 twisted pairs of wires
-Straighten the individual wire pairs and align them according to the T568B or T568A standard (see the included instruction sheet). Whichever you use, always use that through your network. Flatten the pairs of aligned wires, you may need to trim them so they are all the same length.
-When you have the wires aligned to the standard, use forceps (or some gentle clip) to flatten and hold them in place
-With the retaining tab facing down, push the wires into the end of the clip. You should see the tips of the wires at the other end of the clip. You can look at the edges to see the outer 2 wires. It's very important that you have them ALL THE WAY to the end of the clip
-Insert the clip into the center (8P) of the crimper, tab up, careful not to pull the wires out. Squeeze the crimper and the chrome slide will go up to force the gold tabs up into the individual wires, piercing them and making the connection. Depress the tab on the clip and remove it from the crimper
-Do the other end of the wire the same way
-Separate the 2 pieces of the tester, put the smaller on one end of a new Cat5e clip
-Make sure there are batteries in the large tester and put the other end of the Cat5e into it. Move the slide switch to on or s(slow). "G" will light on only one of the testers (OK). Each tester will glow red for each of the numbers 1-8 (4 pair). If any light is missing then the crimp didn't work. (I went through about 6 clips before getting it right. Then the rest were OK on the first try.)
Hope this helps someone else.
As others have stated, the crimper tool doesn't always line up quite right for cutting cable. It wasn't too difficult to line it up correctly, though. The stripper and crimper parts worked fine for me. If I were doing a lot of cables, then I'd probably get a better tool. This is fine for patching a few, though, and handy to have around.
The ends are cheap and a bit crap. They are working fine for my needs at the moment, but do not lock in very well when the cable is plugged in. Sometime I will get more expensive ends, but these are fine for now. Just don't expect a nice snap when you connect them. They are also a bit difficult to get the wire into easily, but perhaps all ends are like this.
The tester that comes with this works fine for making sure the cables work. I used it to test all my ethernet cables except the PoE since it's hardwired into the radio on my roof. This tester enabled me to find that I'd crossed two wires on one cable end so I was able to easily fix it.
Overall this is a nice and cheap set to have around the house/shop for repairs. If you are looking at repairing/making a lot of cables, then you may want to invest in a more expensive set. This worked fine for me, though. I'd read several of the reviews on here and for my needs, this set was everything I expected.
Stripping the cable sheathing: I tried using both the yellow Ubigear stripper and the MultiCond stripper (the small gray one that looks like a clamp), but neither one worked well. They both nicked the wires inside the sheathing. I instead used the pair of red wire cutters to strip the sheathing. I noticed later that the gray MultiCond tool had a screw at the end. I probably could have used that to adjust the cutting depth. It would be worth experimenting with.
The Blue Ubi Gear cable tester is great. Make sure the 9-Volt battery works before you use it. Plug each end of the cable into each end of the tester (it slides apart), and it will tell you via the lights if it works or not. If one of the lights doesn’t flash on (in order), then that indicates where there is a problem.
When using the yellow UbiGear multi-tool to cut, remember that the side with only ONE blade is the cutting side. I’m not sure what the side with two blades is for, but it never cut the cable all the way through.
The slots at the end of the UbiGear tool are used to crimp down the ends of the plastic cable connector when building a cable so the connector doesn’t fall off. The 8P is for Ethernet cable. (I assume the 6P is for phone cable.)
Punch Down tools
The kit came with two punch down tools…a gray one with a red cover over the tip and a beige one with a scissor shaped cutter. I preferred the gray one because it cut more consistently. The beige one, however, had a great hook that popped out in the side and I used it when inserting the square bolts into the server cabinet. (Seriously awesome that it was built in!)
It would have been nice if they'd included a bubble level, but other than that, the kit had everything I needed!
