Tools and Hardware Reviews of Paladin 4909 Network Tool Bundle with Data SureStrip, All-in-One Tool, Non-Impact 110 Punchdown Tool, 10 RJ11 and RJ45 Modular Plugs
Customer Review: Good Tools at Good Value
Summary: 5 Stars
The Crimper
The main tool of the set is the crimper. They have a nice sturdy feel to them and a nice look as well. With the ability to do networking and phone with 4, 6 and 8 pin jacks its grate for doing the hole house. The rachet mechanism also allows for perfect crimps every time.
The Stripers
They work perfect every time. They allow you to cut just enough jacket on the cable without cutting the wire to pull it off easily. makes very clean cuts and strips. They have rules on the side and are adjustable to allow different cable size.
The Punchdown tool
This is the only failed part of the set. It is non impact so it could get annoying to your arm after a few punches and the first time I went to use it only 2 of the 8 wires where cut. Still its nice to have in the set if your only going to do a few or as and extra as its small. I personally got a professional tool.
Who its for
Any one that's looking for a good price on data/networking tools for a small job or an average user that need a good set. There are more expensive tools out there but these will work the same with the exception of the punchdown tool.
Customer Review: Good tools - never buy overpriced ethernet cable again!
Summary: 5 Stars
These tools and connectors are high-quality and easy to use. Within hours of receiving it, I was able to:
- Run 80ft of ethernet across my home, with only a 1/4 inch hole on either end.
- Create several custom-length cables -- 1ft for connecting my cable modem to my router, 7ft to connect my PC without having extra cable coiled behind the computer.
I haven't needed to use the punchdown tool, so I can't comment on it. But everything else is great.
For making your own cable, I would recommend buying bulk Cat5e online or at your local hardware store. Home Depot and Lowes actually have pretty good prices for 100ft runs.
Customer Review: excellent product
Summary: 5 Stars
I have owned this product for more than six months and I use it every other day (mostly just the crimper and stripper). The punchdown tool is non-impact... but that isn't the main point of the kit so I wasn't concerned. The crimp tool is excellent. It works great every time and there is nothing more satisfying than crimping a fresh cable. The stripper is also a great tool! The manufacturer even put a small ruler on it!
Again, I've had nothing but good experiences with Paladin network tools.
Customer Review: works great
Summary: 5 Stars
needed to fix a phone cable for my girlfriend and my dog decided to snack on my ethernet cable. The price was decent and the construction seems solid. I got both cables right on the first try as well (that never happened before). Great product.Customer Review: High quality product!
Summary: 5 Stars
The crimp tool is excellent, the stripers makes very clean cuts and strips, it took about 5 min. to fix what i need, with absolutely no problem. Great product!
