Whether you're wiring up network patch leads or telephone cables, the tool handles the crimp in one squeeze once you've seated the plug and conductors correctly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ratchet action is the part that makes the difference here. It holds the crimp until you've applied full pressure, so the connection is completed properly every time rather than left half done. That means fewer failed terminations and less rework, which matters when you're making up multiple leads in a session.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe body is made from lightweight steel and rated for long-life use, keeping the weight down to 285g without giving up durability. At 185mm long it's an easy size to hold and work with over a run of connectors. It's a straightforward, practical tool aimed at anyone doing regular network or telephone cabling, from professional installers to those handling their own runs at home or in the office.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLength\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e185mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.28KG\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eType\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePliers \u0026amp; Wrenches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich connector types does this tool crimp?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt crimps 6P and 8P modular plugs of types RJ-45, RJ-12 and RJ-11, covering common network and telephone connectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the ratchet mechanism do?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ratchet holds the crimp until full pressure is applied, so each termination is completed properly and consistently before the jaws release.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow heavy is the tool?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt weighs 285g, with a lightweight steel body that keeps it easy to handle during longer cabling jobs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat are the dimensions?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pliers measure 185mm in length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this suitable for network patch leads?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.
