Yeah. I bought a $45 pair of Ideal brand crimpers, and it was definitely
money well spent. I am familiar with those ratcheting ones, too. They
are nice.
The $15 that come free with a box of cable sometimes are what we WERE
using, but we were having to redo ends more often than not. It was rare
to get a 2 crimp install done with just two ends with cheap crimpers.

The "local" electronics store sold me a pair of crimpers that listed for

never regretted it. No more of those cheap ones. Not a single bad crimp
since I changed crimpers and yes, we use the "cheap" standard ends. We had
issues with the "regular" ones, even though we had tried 3 different pairs
of crimpers. We never left a customer with a bad cable, but there was a
couple times the c able didn't work, and visually inspecting the crimp
showed a deficiency.
These things are NOT very convenient to use, but they have this ratcheting
mechanism that won't let you let loose of the connector until you squeeze
all the way. The plug is tight in the crimper, and they are very heavy.
Not a single bad crimp since then.

I have bought those before. They are kind of a cool novelty, but they
don't add THAT much reliability/speed/ease of use/etc IMO.

Do you really pay $.60 per connector??? Maybe it's not as nice of a
tool as I thought....

Hi All,
I'm looking for a crimper I saw someone talk about. It uses special
rj45 connectors that allow the cable to go through the end. Then
the crimper crimps and cuts to length at the same time.
Anyone know what it's called and where to get the connectors and the
crimper?
thanks!
