On the listing

A pass-through RJ45 crimping tool for stripping, cutting and crimping Cat5e, Cat6, Cat6A and Cat7 cable, as well as RJ11 and RJ12 standards and RJ45 pass-through plugs with dovetail clamps. The second bullet states that an adjusting screw converts the tool from Cat5 and Cat6 plugs to Cat6a and Cat7 plug bodies. The third describes a non-slip grip, single-handed operation and reduced fatigue. The fourth lists the kit: one crimping tool, fifty Cat6 plugs, fifty Cat6 guards, one network inspection tool, one mini stripping tool and instructions. The fifth states that every set is tested for quality before sale and offers exchange or refund.

The screw, which is the reason to look at this one

A crimping tool has one fixed relationship with the plug it closes on, and this one does not. The second bullet says an adjusting screw turns a tool for Cat5 and Cat6 plugs into one for Cat6a and Cat7 bodies.

That solves a problem the rest of this shelf ignores. Plug bodies are not one size. A Cat 6a plug is longer and deeper than a Cat 5e plug, often with a metal shell around it, and a die set at a stop for the smaller body either fails to seat the larger one or crushes it. Buying a second tool is the usual answer. Turning a screw is a better one.

Nothing on the page describes how the adjustment is verified, or what happens if it drifts. That is worth knowing and it is not published.

Pass-through, stated in plain words

Two tools on this shelf state pass-through capability and this is one of them. It matters because pass-through plugs cannot be finished properly any other way: the conductors are threaded out through the front of the body so the wiring order can be checked with the eye, and a blade in the tool cuts them flush as the crimp closes. An ordinary tool has no blade there and leaves eight conductors standing proud.

The kit supplies fifty Cat6 plugs, which the fourth bullet does not describe as pass-through. So the plugs in the box and the headline capability of the tool are two separate facts, and the tool handles both kinds.

The punch-down tool and the ratchet, both missing

No punch-down tool. That is the operation a keystone module and a punch-down panel both need, and this kit does not cover it — the fourth bullet lists a network inspection tool and a mini stripper instead.

No ratchet either, or at least no mention of one. The third bullet talks about grip and about single-handed use, which are properties of the handles. Fifty plugs is a lot of crimps to make with a tool whose closing force is whatever is left in the hand.

Before ordering

Decide whether the adjustment is what you are buying, because it is what makes this tool different and it is the reason it costs more than the two kits below it. Then count what else the job needs: if there are modules or a panel to terminate, there is no punch-down tool here, and if you were hoping for a locked crimp cycle, nothing on this page describes one.

    The one kit on this shelf that says what its three-in-one tool actually does — crimp, cut and strip — and the one that prints the position notation its dies hold rather than a list of connector names.

    Connector positions supported
    8P, 6P and 4P — stated in the second bullet, and written again as 8P8C, 6P6C and 4P4C. RJ45, RJ11 and RJ12 are named alongside them, with Cat5 and Cat5e cable

    Integrated stripper
    Yes — stated in the second bullet, which names the tool as a three-in-one crimping, cutting and stripping tool. It is the only listing on this shelf to name all three functions of its own tool
    Integrated cutter
    Yes — stated in the same phrase, as the cutting function of the three-in-one tool
    Replaceable blades
    Not published on the listing — no blade is described as removable and no spare is listed. Two stripping knives, marked 58/59 and 501, are supplied as separate items
    Punch-down tool included

    Xespis Twelve-piece network tool kit with a three-in-one crimping tool and a tester

    The cheapest way onto this shelf: a bag holding a three-in-one crimping tool, a continuity tester, a stripper and a punch-down tool — described in a bullet that the listing then prints again, word for word, at the bottom of the page.

    Connector positions supported
    The connector families are named and the position counts are not: RJ-11, RJ-12 and RJ-45 appear in the second bullet alongside CAT5, CAT5e and TIA-568A/568B. The 8P8C, 6P6C and 4P4C notation that would say what the dies hold is not printed
    Pass-through capability
    Not published on the listing — the tool is called a three-in-one crimping tool throughout and nothing says whether it trims conductors flush at the front of a plug
    Ratchet action
    Not published on the listing — no ratchet, lock or release is described, and the bullets discuss the contents of the bag rather than the mechanism of the tool
    Integrated stripper
    Not published on the listing as part of the crimping tool — the three-in-one is never broken down into its three jobs. What is stated is a separate stripping tool supplied in the same bag
    Integrated cutter
    Not published on the listing for the same reason — the three functions of the crimping tool are never named, and no cutter is described on the tool itself
    Replaceable blades
    Not published on the listing — no blade is described as removable, and no spare is listed among the contents
    Punch-down tool included

    Bay count
    Two positions of different kinds — one M.2 slot and one SATA bay, described in the first bullet as supporting M.2 PCIe NVMe SSDs and 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch SATA SSDs and HDDs at the same time. The third bullet says it can be run in single-drive or dual-drive mode
