User questions & answers

Question:	Can you use this for non pass through connectors
Answer:	Yes. Works fine for non pass through connectors.
Question:	Do you have to use the Klein pass thru connectors or will these work with any pass thru RJ45 connector
Answer:	Good question! Some buyer have tried the C5 and C6 non-pass thru Mod Plugs, but now are using Klein's Pass-Thru™ connectors. If cost is issue, the Klein Pass-Thru™ Clear Mod Plug, now comes in a 200 Pack - VDV826-763. Hope this helps. We have all Klein Pass-Thru™ Mod Plugs - C5, C6, and 3PC Clear Modular Data Plug are stock.
Question:	Will these crimpers work with other vendors ez connectors / pass through rj45 connectors. example (platinum tools ez-rj45 cat6 connectors
Answer:	My personal experience - I bought these connectors: https://amzn.to/2FWDmpL "RJ45 CAT6 Passthrough Connectors (50 PCS),Gold Plated 3 Micron 3u, High Performance 3 Prong Pins (CAT6/50 PCS)" - they seem to work ok. However, although the cable works fine my tester says it has a short. Not sure if it has to do with the connectors, the cable (cat5), or the tester being finicky. But the cable does work.
Question:	What's the key difference between the $20 (226-107) crimper and the $45 (226-110) crimper
Answer:	To me it looks like the 107 doesn't do the pass through connectors. It is smaller in size that the 110 model it might fit your pocket better than the 110. But since I only use the pass through connectors the 107 wouldn't work for me.

Answer:	The product that I received was in good working order. It was not dry and it did not seem old and anyway.
Question:	Has anyone used these for 1/8" steel braided cable
Answer:	Defincils is the best, especially in the waterproof version, imho.
Question:	will this repetitively snip 1/16" galvanized stranded steel wire
Answer:	I wouldn't want similar. It's just that bad a product.
Question:	Where is this made
Answer:	I've learned it's never good to leave makeup on at night (I worked in eye surgery for years), but I have done it. Some of the tubes may come off and get on you or in your eyes if you accidentally rub during the night or in the morning. Truthfully, you just need water to remove the mascara, it only take 1 or 2 minutes. Hope this helps.
