Klein Tools 80072 RJ45 Cable Tester Kit with LAN Scout Jr. 2, Coax Crimper / Stripper / Cutter Tool and 50-Pack Pass-Thru Modular Data Plugs

The Klein Tools 80072 RJ45 Cable Tester Kit has been an absolute lifesaver for my networking projects. This kit is not only versatile but also incredibly easy to use, making it perfect for both professionals and DIYers alike. The LAN Scout Jr. 2 tester works like a charm, providing quick and accurate results when testing RJ45 cables. It’s compact and straightforward, giving me confidence in my network connections every time I use it. The display is clear, and it identifies any wiring issues with ease, saving me tons of troubleshooting time. What really stands out, though, is the Coax Crimper/Stripper/Cutter tool. It’s durable and well-constructed, and all the functions—crimping, stripping, and cutting—are integrated into one tool, which is super convenient. The crimping action feels solid, and I’ve never had a bad connection when using it. It makes working with coaxial cables so much easier, and I love that I don’t need multiple tools to get the job done. Overall, this kit is a must-have for anyone working with RJ45 and coax cables. The combination of a reliable cable tester and a high-quality crimping tool in one set makes it a fantastic value. Klein Tools always delivers on quality, and this kit is no exception. Highly recommended!

Before I purchased this product, I tried cheaper crimpers with no luck, causing a lot of frustration and wasted time. After MULTIPLE attempts to make a 60-foot CAT 6 Cable, I gave up, returned the inferior crimper, and bought this tool. I successfully made a CAT 6 cable on the very 1st attempt due to the high quality and precision of this tool. Additionally, the tester is easy to use and is a necessity when making 1Gbps cables. It's a bit expensive, but worth the price, IMHO.

Sometimes new tools come along that you have been using the old way for years that make you say, “why didn’t I think of that?”. This is such a product. It’s simple to use and it gets the job done with ease. Whether you are a beginner or a seasoned pro, this product will make your job go with ease. The cable tester is simple but very effective. It is so simple that I say, why didn’t I think of that? Klein tools are for the worker that seeks a cost effective and reliable product to get the job done. I did not get paid to say this but I would accept an endorsement fee from Klein if offered, lol.

Could have gotten off brands for less, but was concerned with some of the reviews of not cutting well, not straight, etc with off-brands. This combo has worked great. It was my first time putting "pass thru" connectors on. Did a few tests before having to do it for real. It can be a little tricky to get all the wires lined up, but after some practice is not too bad. Makes sure you not only untwist the wires, but straighten them ( I run them thru my fingers several times). Nice having the tester to make sure cables are setup correctly. I made mistakes with my first couple of tests, so really like being able to test in the field so I can make sure I've got each cable correct. Both the cutter and the tester work great. Didn't notice that it also came with a package of 50 high quality cables ends, so that was a nice surprise.

I initially purchased another cheaper kit to run cat6 cable in my house. It worked fine initially but in the end really regretted being cheap as it cost me more in time. So after ordering this Klein Tools kit, I was able to quickly finish installing my wireless access point upstairs. The test tool verified issues caused by the cheap kit's crimp tool. I was able to install the provided Klein pass through connector and crimp it with the Klein crimp tool. The Klein tester verified the fix and my wireless access point was working properly delivering 1,000 Mbps through my cat6 cable to my access point. Don't waste your time with those cheap $25 kits. Well worth the extra $75 for this quality Klein Tools kit as it will pay for itself in time saved.
