I'm a network admin who makes frequent train trips into New York City. I started a new job and was looking for a new set of networking tools. Yes, I could have gone Paladin for a much higher price, but I decided to give StarTech a shot. I was looking for a kit to crimp RJ-45, RJ-11 that came with a tester that could travel well. If you do some searching, finding this combo is not cheap. Even individually priced, the StarTech was cheaper. This kit also has a punch down tool with all the bits you need, not to mention a starter kit of RJ-45/11 ends and snagless covers to protect the prongs. If I could change one thing, I would have made the RJ-45 crimper a little stronger, but I've made plenty of cables, one of which I use every time I am at my home office desk, and it has been perfectly fine. I highly recommend this product for those who need a crimper and cable tester, even more for those who do lots of traveling.
