I bought this to run some ethernet drops in my newly purchased house. The crimp tool works great, crimps and cuts excellent. The punch down tool works great too, except for the fact that it won't cut the stray wires. So I had to go in and cut the wires with a tiny wire cutter. The included box with molded holders is nice.



I also liked the fact that it came with starter network plugs.

PROS: Looks good, great extras

CONS: Punch down needs sharper cutter

This kit is a must-have for any cabling job - home or otherwise. Aside from the small setbacks I noted in the "Cons" section, it is perfect for any use. I actually bought a second kit for my home after using one in a major cabling job.

TLDR I would recommend this kit for any cabling job, large or small. Excellent product.

PROS: Works and lasts for major commercial cabling jobs as well as home use. This is very important, and is why I give this a high rating
Easy to store

CONS: The gap of the razor blades for stripping CAT5/6 cable is a little narrow, so it is slightly difficult to strip cables without cutting into the inner wires (at first)
Punch-down HI and LOW settings are a bit strange (but it works well enough)
Slightly expensive

works well and does exactly what it should.

PROS: i can start making my own cables and stop being lazy.

CONS: none that i can think of. haven't used it much though.
