AG CablesAGC-K315A Professional Networking Tool Kit with Cable Tester, Punch Down Tool, Cable Stripper

This kit is awesome. I've used it several times now and have zero buyers remorse.As for the pros, the kit does everything it is supposed to do.I took off 1 star for two reasons. First, the included connectors are cheap and break extremely quickly. This, however, was expected so I ended up purchasing other higher quality connectors. What I did not expect what the crimping tool to break any connector if you squeeze too hard. This is not a problem I've ever had with any other crimping tool, so I'm sure it's not me. Maybe I got a tool that was slightly out of manufacturing tolerance, but nevertheless it does certainly break the connectors. Being mindful of how much pressure is applied does solve the issue.I would definitely recommend this.

The tester feels like a child toy. The on/off switch feels like it is going to break every time i use it. It didn't come with a battery which I found out onsite, making me have to walk to a store to buy one... I don't understand making a punch down where the interchangable end doesn't actually stay connected to the tool. You have to hold the end with your finger the entire time you are punching down. Its like a screwdriver where the bit just falls out. The case is flimsy. The latches feel like they are going to break off if I use it for another month or so. The rest of the stuff is decent quality, but not worth more than two stars for the whole deal. I spent a little bit more on this one than some other kits on here, but I learned my lesson.

This has to be some of the worst tools I've ever bought. The punch-down tool was total not functional. it was missing the collar to hold the bit in place, so unuseable. The crimp tool felt like a toy as well. I decided not to take a chance with the supplied RJ45 connectors and used others I had bought. I unfortunately also bought their coax crimp tool set, which was another disaster. I have a review for that as well.

Wish it came with instructions

This is everything I needed to finish the job. I install security cameras. The install called for IP cameras and Ethernet cables. I made my own Ethernet cable. This kit worked great. The tester let me know that all of the lines were functioning properly.

Could use an instruction set and maybe something that says what everything is.

Very good tools

Easy to use and well constructed!

I bought this thinking i could use a few pieces during my job as an electrician but the tools are made for the old kind of RJ45 connectors and wont cut the wires for the new kind where wires can go through the connector before you cut them.Also the cable skinners are very finicky and can easily cut your wires when you use em, they can only be set by using a small screw that is not very solid. So it is hard to be consistant in your work.The kit CAN do the job, just dont expect it to do a professionals job where you have quite a few connectors to do in a hurry.I would not recommend this for anyone that needs tools like these in their work, but maybe you could use this kit in your home for yourself but even then you might be better saving the money from buying the kit and hiring a technician instead.

Really happy with this kit. Has all the tools I need in an easy carrying case and each of the tools gets the job done.The only thing I'm not in love with is that the connectors are loose and I always seem to open the case upside down so they fall out everywhere. Would be nice if the loose items were in baggies and the top of the case was labelled.

Cable Tester does not work. Other items ok.

the received is not the one shown on the photo.
