Review: Everything you need, easy to use - I'll start off saying I'm not a professional. I've dabbled in making my own cat 6 cables before and when I wanted to move my modem to another room I called my ISP and they said it would cost $65. This was cheaper so I figured I'd give it a try. The strip tool, tester, and terminator tool all worked great and the kit even came with a few cable terminators to play with. I was able to accomplish what I set out to and now I have another tool in the arsenal! I'm very pleased with this kit and would recommend it to a friend.
Review: A great little tool kit to run and test your own coax lines. - Great tool kit for installing your own coax cable. I'm big into DIY and I just got rid of cable TV in favor of Over The Air (OTA) TV and streaming services. After running my own cable and installing the cable ends using this kit and included connectors, I can say it is the best tool kit I've ever used for this type of work. Back in the day I used to install coax ends for a company that I worked for. The older style crimp-ons are much less satisfying than these newer style. I fell like they will hold for a very long time. I also like the test kit it came with. The only issue I have with the test kit is that you nee a male/male adapter to use it. It does not come with one and even states as much in the directions.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ So Easy to Use!
*by P***G on June 25, 2024*

Just repaired my RV Cable port. Watched the You Tube videos a bunch of times and finally tried my hand for the first time. Stripper worked perfectly, the connectors are first rate and the crimper... one firm squeeze and the job was done! I fixed my cable too. So easy and the result was a professional looking and feeling result. I installed a new cable port from Ace as well and the cable is so much clearer now! Plus I have 4 more RG6 connectors for future repairs. Really glad I bought the Klein. Good quality tools.
