Jaime, We have been using Platinum tools crimper for their ez-45 jacks. (last 10 years or so ? ) Not sure which Klein model you are looking at, I would not be surprised if the Klein is an oem by Platinum Tools.
In regards to comments about moisture and shorting ... cannot say we have seen that as a functional/design defect of using ez-rj45 connectors. Most moisture & water intrusions are due to other issues.. (p.s. there is a valid reason why Mimosa includes a small tube of 'superlube' with their radios... it works surprising well in keeping the moisture out of the connector, we have started using it more 'religiously' ) Regards Faisal Imtiaz Snappy Internet & Telecom http://www.snappytelecom.net Tel: 305 663 5518 x 232 Help-desk: (305)663-5518 Option 2 or Email: supp...@snappytelecom.net > From: "Jaime Solorza" <losguyswirel...@gmail.com> > To: "Animal Farm" <af@afmug.com> > Sent: Wednesday, December 13, 2017 1:19:09 PM > Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Cable crimpers for RJ-45 work > Yep...I agree > Jaime Solorza > On Dec 13, 2017 11:15 AM, "Bill Prince" < part15...@gmail.com > wrote: >> Oh.
