So I have several different brands of data crimpers. I have crimpers ranging from $30 to $140, for price these fall right in the middle. I like this crimper a lot. The ratcheting action is smooth, you can release part way through the crimp with the release lever, the crimp is even across all the pins by having it come straight up to crimp. Some other brands have a stronger force on one side and weaker on the other. The grips are comfortable, the weight is heavy compared to others but it is a quality tool, there is no plastic on this tool. Rubber grips, everything else is metal. Time to sell off my other crimpers to coworkers.

The RATCHETING MODULAR CRIMPER made installing ends on my wires simple and easy. I have tried to do this same project with other crimping tools and had disaster after disaster as they were not the right tool for the job. The fact that these are from Milwaukee almost guarantees that the job will come out right. A good quality tool makes the difference between success or failure in crimping.

Very nice crimper. These are never cheap but when you get a nice one you hold on to it for years/decades. This is one you will want to hold onto.What I like:• High quality steel mechanisms and built to last with equal and balanced pressure.• Hard plastic grips with grooves. Easy to hold with above average ergonomics.• You don’t need heavy pressure to finish the crimp and only one squeeze gets the job done. • Good visibility while using.• Most important part is that it works and it works well. I had zero issues with any of my connectors.What I don’t like:• The price is higher than your normal crimper but this is also the nicest, most accurate crimper I’ve used so you will need to consider your budget and needs.I’m a fan of these for the reasons above. It’s a nice addition to the tool collection. I fully recommend.

There isn’t much to a crimper tool – it just needs to be well built to hold up to the task and to successfully deliver full, uniform force on the modular plug. The Milwaukee Cat 5/6 crimping tool does both very well.The insulated grip handle is well built to take on heavy squeeze pressure and the inline crimp head is made of solid metal material to apply equal force on the modular plug. The crimping die has well grooved teeth to fully press the modular stabs into solid core 23AWG Cat 6 cable. I also appreciate the ratcheting handle system that helps hold pressure on the crimp head until a full crimp is made.The crimp head accepts all modular plugs I use including shielded plugs.This crimping tool has a perfect companion; the Milwaukee stripper: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Milwaukee-Category-5-6-Stripper-48-22-3065/301878940

The Milwaukee Ratcheting Modular Crimper gives you fast and accurate crimps when trying to crimp modular jacks. The tool is quality made and gives you added visibility when trying to make a modular crimp. The tool is designed for all RJ45 and Rj11 modular jacks. One of the many features that I personally liked was the ergonomically designed handle. It design will allow for extended use.

The crimper is simple and easy to use. Designed for R11 & R45 connectors, once you get the wires stripped and inserted into the appropriate connector opening, just squeeze until it sets the pins in the connector. The insulated grip, while plastic, is comfortable in my hand and makes it easy to squeeze when I’m crimping the connector. It is very well made, heavy duty crimper. I recommend this.

I think this tool is brilliant. With the extended blade and LED lights it eliminates some issues when working in dark, crowded panels. It’s a little larger than my previous tool and I find the larger, more rounded handle to be more comfortable to use. I also like the clear labels on the controls.The blades are high quality. Batteries are included, as is a limited lifetime warranty.

Got this because we were redoing our internet and adding a few more rooms to hardwire some cameras. This is a good tool if the only thing you want to do is attach your modular rj45 and rj11 jacks. IT works great for that you can see what your doing and it holds it nice and tight.. But then you also need a wire cutter and stripper we have these wire strippers Store SKU #547005. also bought some 2 port wall plates Store SKU #595177 and thankfully that job is done

A beast of a crimper. When you insert your jack and wire for crimping, it has an insanely great bite! It holds the jack very firmly, yet lets go as if you were unplugging it from a wall when done. The ratcheting mechanism works precisely and makes with ease. It will automatically release the ratcheting mechanism when the crimp is complete or you may easily rotate the release knob at any position in the crimp. The feel and strength of the crimper is outstanding. The precision is spot on! You can install a jack on the end of a cable in a matter of minutes with the available accessories of a stripper and punchdown tool by Milwaukee.

Very good quality tool. Normal 110/66 blade has maintained its edge well. Where this tool really shines is when you have to work on patch panels that are inbetween switches and hand space is limited. Granted you do need to get your fingers in for wiring, but the extended blade is vastly easier to use in this scenario. I wouldnt recommend using the extended blade for normal cases – patch panel has easy access, jacks etc – and when you do use it set the impact to high as you wont always get a cut on low.Only downside is no blade storage due to the normal space being taken up by batteries.

Price point like a good portion of Milwaukee tools is above average. I install low voltage for a living and punch down down cables on a fairly regular basis. I am typically using a yellow and black brand. I do really like having storage for the blade on the tool, and Milwaukee doesn’t have this because it has a built in light for when your punching down a patch panel inside a rack. It comes with a short 110/66 block blade and a long 110 blade for punching down in the patch panel that is already installed into a rack. The rounded handle and the rounded end do make it more comfortable for when your pushing on it to terminate the cables. It does have a hi/lo impact selector for how much “umph” you want/need. It also does not have a pick built into it as its competitors do. Overall, I do recommend this but I would hope that they bring the price down into a more reasonable price range to be more comparable to its competition…then again, if your punching down on a patch panel that is already installed into a rack more often than not this would definitely be the tool for you!

It’s heavy and not good for high amount of terminations. Also the plastic has no grip so it can slip out of your hand.

The long reach punch down is very helpful in tight spots along with the light. Scissors are good but if you have big fingers, they are hard to use. The crimpers are heavy duty but in tight spots I find my pair to be sometimes difficult to get the RJ45 end into slot. All work as expected. Would definitely recommend.

Ratcheting feature ensures this will last a long time. I compared this ratcheting modular crimper to a non-ratcheting variety and found this one to be much more solid, with longer-lasting components and a better feel. Non-ratcheting crimpers suffer from compression fatigue: after a number of good crimps, they lose their ability to return to normal, and quit making solid connections on your phone or ethernet connectors. The ratchet mechanism, along with high-quality dies, ensures that the crimper can ratchet to however much pressure it needs, then release that pressure when the crimp is complete.This crimper is for non-pass through wire ends, but you may also consider a pass-through wire crimper. Home Depot sells both kinds of tools, and both kinds of connectors. This one, the non-pass through type, is by far more common. The pass-through type lets the 4, 6 or 8 wires pass all the way through the jack, then both crimps the jack and trims the wires. I personnally like the pass-through type because it serves as a final check that I have the color-coding in the proper order. Sometimes, a wire pair can cross inside the jack. As a 51-year old, my eyesight isn’t what it used to be. The usability difference is small, though, and Non-pass through types like this are easy enough to use with a pair of reading glasses for final inspection. You can’t beat the feel and rugged durability of this Milwaukee ratcheting modular crimper. It’s more expensive than alternatives, but worth it if you’re doing RJ11 and RJ45 installations on more than one job.I’m impressed and will recommend this to friends.

IMPACTING PUNCHDOWN TOOL WITH EXTENDED BLADEI do not do a lot of block punching. And my old tool was a very simple one. The Milwaukee has a dual LED light on it and a long blade. The combination of the light and long blade makes seeing your work 100xs easier. I wear bifocals and always needed to wear a headlamp even in a well lit room/closet. Not now when using the Milwaukee. I did not need to try other settings as the default was fine.

Such a great tool idea, the light is really bright and very helpful in dark spaces. I am very happy I purchased this tool.
