## Questions & Answers

**Q: 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**
A: 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.

**Q: Where are these made?**
A: 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.

**Q: Does it cut ez rj45**
A: 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.

**Q: Does this crimper lock in the closed position for storage?**
A: 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).

    I wasn't a fan, but maybe you could be?
  

*by T***T on Reviewed in the United States on May 1, 2023*

I bought my VDV226-107 two years ago with the intention of replacing my traditional "pliers-style" crimpers that I had used for years and then lost in a work-van blackhole. When these arrived, they appeared to be up to the task and I was excited to give them a try.The fit and finish is great. No rough edges, solid hand-feel, and even though they have bounced around in my tool-belt for their two-years none of the lettering or decals have peeled off or begun to fade. The textured handle is also as solid as it was when I first bought it.I have probably terminated around 500 or so cables with it by now and it's still just as tight as it was on crimp one. If you're looking for a good value tool for the money, I wouldn't hesitate to say this one would hold up durability-wise.However, this is about where I run out of praises for the tool and will drop into the criticisms I had.1: I'm really not a fan of the design even though I really wanted to be. I had assumed that you would hold the die-side in the palm of your hand and squeeze the yellow handle with your fingers to terminate the cables. Unfortunately, the opposite is true. When using this tool with your right hand, I found this process slightly awkward feeling and I never really got used to it. It's about like riding a bike or a motorcycle and having the clutch/brake levers on the riders side of the handle bars. You can still operate them, but it always felt awkward and felt like it only impeded gripping strength.Left handed operation was better, but I found that the yellow grip on the handle provided inadequate grip and wanted to slip out of my hand if my grip wasn't just right.Inverted(with the Die end of the tool near my wrist), the Tool felt better (better application of gripping force) in my right hand, but worse in my left hand (Back to square one with having to work the tool in a sub-optimal fashion while also having the tool constantly trying to slip out of your hand).In either case, I would recommend some grip tape added to the handle and the rear of the tool. Or at least, some sandpaper and double-sided tape. I found that the extra texture helped the slippery nature of the tool, even though it didn't do much to combat the rest of awkwardness. Its almost like my hands weren't big enough to properly hold the tool like I wanted to. (I should also point out I have larger hands. 98mm from index knuckle to pinky knuckle and 200mm from tip of the middle finger to wrist)2: This is the first crimper I've ever used that actually made my terminations less reliable. I've never had issues with RJ-45 crimping whether it was a cheap 12$ crimper from the local hardware store, or a higher quality crimping tool. However, this tool constantly worked to break my RJ-45 ends. It never wanted to fully seat the cables in the die so if you weren't paying attention, you would crimp the cable and it would smash the rear of the connector (near the strain-lock) and not lock the strain-lock. Even when fully inserted, it constantly feels like it is out of alignment and I often have to re-tip a cable I just made because it thoroughly destroyed the rear of the RJ-45 end. I have tried cleaning the die out, different ends (I primarily use GMP Brand RJ-45 ends), and even just being more careful; telling myself that "One day thing's 'll get better and I'll get used to it."It is 100% possible that both my issues are user error, but I do not have this problem with other crimpers and find myself often using a shared set or someone else's crimper just because I don't trust this one at all.Only two marks against, but to me they were two critical marks that have led me to never want to try one of these "ergonomic" style crimpers ever again. They may work for you, but they certainty didn't for me.

    Works well.
  

*by E***O on Reviewed in the United States on July 24, 2023*

The wire cutter doesn't always cut all the way across.  It seems slightly overbuilt, so it has a 'clunkiness' to it, but it's definitely sturdy.
