Customer Reviews for Klein Tools Modular Installation Kit

When we moved into our home, we had the builder include data and power in certain locations so we could wall mount a TV and not have any wires showing. Unfortunately the way they went about installing the data outlets was a head scratcher. Originally (see first picture) we had to connect a CAT 5e cable from the blue jack to the brown jack which was roughly 18" above the floor. Then we had to connect another CAT 5e cable from the brown jack that is up high so it could be plugged into the TV. I went to Home Depot and purchased the tool and a CAT 5e in-line coupling. Then I took the lower blue jack and brown jack out of the wall, used this tool to put an RJ45 on each of them then connected them with the in-line coupling. After that, I tucked them away behind the wall. Now the upper jack behind the TV was live and no wires are sticking out anywhere. This was my first time doing anything with data wire but watching YouTube videos and the instructions that comes with the tool made it very straight forward.

Just bought and use it in a few projects, this tool is perfect for fast cutting.

Very good product, well suited for the networking and cabling installation projects I commonly get to work on. Versatile and robust, easy to use and reliable. Awesome value, enough "bang for the buck"

Works as intended, nothing to bulky on the tool that limits operability. Nice, satisfying *click* from a crimp and it's a Klein so it's a solid product.

Overall this is a great crimper, solid quality. The only issue I have is that it does not have a pass through blade.

Does everything I expect and the quality is what I'd expect from Klein.

Does exactly what it is supposed to wish I got a 2fer

easy to use, and came with excellent instructions

not designed to use properly with pass through connectors

Way too much money for a tool that doesn't work on pass thru connectors. Seems to crimp ok, and cuts sheath clean on cat6 non-shielded, but others have had issues with connectors not passing test. I really haven't used it enough to give a long term evaluation.

Don’t like that it doesn’t have the pass through blade to cut the wires. Works ok. The ratcheting part barely works, & I bought them only a week ago.

The only thing I’d appreciate this having is the ability to lock when fully compressed, otherwise it pops open in your bag. The product it’s self is awesome for the int need use

This is one of those tools that you need every once in a while but when you need it, its good to have the best. Purchased a new home, all the cat wires were hanging loose in the basement. Not marked in any way so away i went with this great tool. It cut the shielding around the 6 wires then cut each wire to fit into the cat connector. After doing that i crimped the fitting so the fitting became functional. This one tool allowed me to do all those steps with the level of a professional. This is a must have tool for working cat 5, 6, and more. Well with the cost to do a professional job.

makes attaching RJ45 connectors a snap. Much easier to to than tools of 15 years ago.

The crimping tool worked. I bought pass through Cat5 heads and this tool doesn’t appear to work with pass through heads but I got everything working by clipping the excess with a wire clipper. I’m happy to own the tool.

I bought this RJ45 crimper to replace a crimper that came in an inexpensive kit that I used for ten years. Unfortunately, the new Klein Tools crimper does not work well. I followed th einstructions carefully. The mechanism that is supposed to lock the crimper in a closed position is not working and i need to use a rubber band. Worse, the crimp quality is uneven and I had to redo the crimps several times. My other Klein tools are top quality and I use them regularly. This one was disappointing. I'll be looking for a different brand.

This crimper works just as expected.
