Help me choose a rj45 crimping tool from these

[hitomi]

Or suggest any other in similar budget

Are you a pro or is it for home use ? If for home use , just get the ones from offline stores for around 200-250 .

Home use only

Offline pricing is also ~350 here, i thought why not get a better product by spending 150rs extra

Try and find something in this form factor:

@rsaeon

After a couple of decades of making my own ethernet patch cables, I got a premium crimping tool. Well, a clone of a premium crimping tool.

It’s this one: Amazon.in

But there’s two versions of this, one with a blade that snips off excess cable from a passthrough connector and one without. This is the one without.

This one has the blade: Amazon.in

This one has better ergonomics: Amazon.in

And this is what I used for about a decade: Amazon.in

The crimps have come out perfect every time so far with this new tool:

Klein Tools VDV226-110 Ratcheting Modular Data Cable Crimper / Wire Stripper /...

is the most suggested on the home networking sub.

also, what @rsaeon has suggested - something with a ratcheting mechanism is recommended.
