This Klein Tools product includes a ratcheting data cable crimper. It's a versatile tool that can strip, crimp, and cut CAT6, CAT5e, CAT3, and flat - satin voice cables.

It supports CAT3, CAT5e, CAT6 cable sizes and RJ11, RJ12, RJ45 standard connectors. It's 5.25' (13.3 cm) long and weighs 11.2 oz (318 g). This all - in - one tool offers fast and reliable connector termination and is easy to use and store.
Using this Klein Tools crimper/stripper is easy. First, select the appropriate cable size (CAT3, CAT5e, or CAT6) and connector type (RJ11, RJ12, or RJ45). Place the cable in the stripping area and cut off the outer sheath. Then insert the exposed wires into the connector. Put the connector into the crimping area and squeeze the handles. The ratchet mechanism will ensure a complete crimp. Remember, don't use it with AMP® connectors. After each use, clean the tool with a dry cloth to keep it in good condition. Store it in a dry place to prevent rusting. If you need wiring diagrams, you can either look at the ones on the tool or download them to your mobile device for quick reference.
