Everest Media Solutions easyJACK - 90° Angled Speed Termination Tool - with 20-Pack of 90° Angled CAT6/5e Keystone Jacks In White Color - Additional Jacks are available - (B087N7QQD2)

I have punched down a lot of network cables manually and this has been by far the easiest tool to use to terminate network cables and it's solid. It still requires the same work, but in the end it punches all 8 wires at once. From experience, anytime I have ever punched down keystone jacks manually, if you did so much as breathing on it the wrong way, a wire comes loose. The same after testing and simply pushing it back into the wall. With this tool, I can push, twist, pull it by the wire, pop it into a quick port, remove it, pop it again and it has not once came loose. Since I started using this tool, they have tested good 100% of the time. I ended up wiring one wrong and I can confirm that the wires are punched down solid and it was very difficult to pull the wires from the jack. I thought I was going to have to give up and toss it. Super solid. I would definitely recommend this tool. A bit of advice to anyone purchasing this tool. Do not use network cable with the super thin pairs of wires. Make sure you spend a little more or else this may not be the right termination tool for you. Also, if you are like me and you like to put the cable jacket halfway into the jack, don't do that on these. There isn't a lot of room so you crush the wires. I'm sure it would still work, but it will most likely cause problems down the road. One last item is that the plastic cover you pop onto the jack, don't freak out because it is NOT designed to be fully seated onto the jack. I sat there for about 10 minutes trying to figure it out why it wasn't seated down all the way. I am not personally a fan of this design, but it still works. CON: They designed this in a way that requires you to purchase their proprietary keystone jacks if you want to continue using this tool. It's not a universal fit to match basically every other keystone jacks out there. I tried other keystone jacks I had laying around and can confirm this. I don't have every keystone jack ever made so I can't say this is correct 100% across the board, but I'm 99.9% sure this is the case.

So easy to use and fast. Crimping and cutting in one motion is great.

I usually don't leave reviews, but couldn't resist as this tool is incredible! I've never done my own ethernet wiring, but I'm building a new house and really didn't want to hire anyone and it was a good opportunity for experience. I tried the traditional punch down tool and standard keystone connectors from a well known brand. It sort of worked, but was slow and a pain. And the wires didn't feel very secure and they didn't always cut. I was like ok I need something to make my life easier- plus I didn't want to spend so much time at my construction site. So I did some Amazon browsing and this is what I found. Now I've got keystone terminations down to just a few minutes. Thank you Everest Media Solutions. Getting ready to order some more connectors! Hint for anyone having trouble: When you put the wires into the keystone connector, just make sure to push hard on them and then they'll stay in place so you can use the tool. I'll update if I have any issues, but seriously, get this tool!!

100% Buy this. Saved me HOURS on a recent 90 cable job.

I really enjoy this item and their connectors. It makes it very easy to punch down keystones with one crimp. I terminated approximately 42 keystones with only two issues which makes for about a 95% accuracy. I really do not know why two of the connections we're not good. It did seem I needed to pull out my punch down and apply more pressure on some of the wires to make good connections. Overall I am very pleased with this crimper and keystones. The colors on the keystones are very easy to see and not difficult to distinguish the colors. The boxes the keystones come in make it very easy for the keystones to fall out after future use. It would be nice if they packaged them in ziploc style plastic bags to keep all the pieces together.
