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!

I had never terminated a cable before, and this kit made it easy. And the tester is excellent quality. This is a must have for anybody working on a network.

I've had other tools to do this job for a while now, and was having mixed results with them. I found the crimps weren't always creating contact. Now, they'e perfect every time. Wish I would have bought this five years ago, would have saved myself from some nightmare communication diagnostics. I also bought the Klein cable tester - worthwhile even for someone like me who is only building their own network.

This crimper and tester combo is a great time saver. Good quality product.

I got sick of measuring to order them custom cables so I decided to do it myself. i’m installing cables for security cameras and this tool works great.

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.

Bought this to make our lives easier cause our issued equipment on our base were falling apart. The cable tester is a huge quality of life improvement. Display lets you know whether or not connector is shielded, informs if the wires were crossed over or overall failing to connect. The remote end connector is stored within the unit itself and does not need to be referenced for connection assurance as it’s also read out on the primary unit’s display. The male end crimper works just as good as any, but has the added bonus of not a guiding hinge in the middle of the handle. A bit bulky, yet it’s in our go to maintenance bag along with the tester.
