Always use the good stuff

I recently had to do some work on my house that involved CAT6 Ethernet cables, so I looked for some modular plugs (AKA end caps), and found an old crimper to use. After over an hour of frustration in cutting, stripping, pairing, connecting, and crimping, my Ethernet tester told me the all the cables I made were faulty. In frustration, I dug deep in my tool drawer and pulled out “the good stuff” – a Kline Tools pass-through crimper and the associated end caps. Of course, these were easy to use, made the work quick and painless, and worked the first time.

The lesson here is tried and true. If you want it done right, don’t cut corners.

There’s never enough time to do it right, but there’s always enough time to do it over.
