It's compatible with all EZ-RJ45 and EZ-RJ12/11 Connectors as well as all standard modular plugs, except AMP. The ratcheted, high leverage and stable platform allows this tool to create consistent, repeatable terminations. The patented "crimp and trim system" delivers a clean, flush trim on the extended conductors for all EZ connectors. The zero flex frame prevents torque loss while the tool die head assembly provides 360 degrees of connector support. Full surface to surface contact delivers uniform crimp force. The 100054C has a built it cutter for flat and round cable, a built in stripper for round and flat cable and it's laser marked with a wiring guide for proper wire sequence. Platinum Tools, founded in 1997, was created based upon two very simple objectives. First, develop, manufacture and source the absolute best possible solutions for preparation, installation and hand termination of wire and cable. Second, implement an operational infrastructure that can deliver these products in an efficient, timely and high quality manner. β€œThis item is not sold directly by Platinum Tools.” Review: Best Crimp Tool I Have Ever Used - I learned how to install network in 1995 thanks to Anixter (at that time Cat5 was state-of-the-art.) Crimp tools were basic having a lineage that stretched back to Cat3 telephone cables...and they were expensive because the production was limited...and there were wiring standard competitions (A vs B.) My first crimp tool and scissors came courtesy of Anixter which other wise would have been hundreds of dollars. Several times since 1995 I've replaced my crimp tools. I stopped counting how many cables I have terminated and tested...I can't even look at an unshielded twisted pair without repeating in my mind the colors in pin order: white orange, orange, white green, blue, blue white, green, white brown, brown. I think I have seen ever defect in crimp tools that are possible --- didn't strip the wires well, they broke because of bad plastic, and on the metal tools the tolerances were so bad that after a little bit of use the crimp tool would lose alignment. In addition the process of properly cutting and inserting the wires to meet Cat5 tolerances to meet strain and crimp requirements was cumbersome. In 1997 and 1998 several patents were filed by Robert Sullivan. These patents became the first version of Platinum Tools' RJ45 crimp tool. By the way, this tool still is sold and has a suggested MSRP of $59.95. Keeping with traditions of innovation the third generation of the crimp tool was released to market in 2009. A call to the company revealed that this third generation tool is selling so fast that they are back-ordered. So how does it work? I didn't have access to the video when I first used the tool. It was very intuitive to use in part because the company has taken the time to laser etch the pin numbers and the Cat5 wiring specifications on the handles. The pass through plug connectors are amazing! With the older tools I would try to smooth and line up the wires and then cut them as straight as possible for an insert in the connector. This is a time consuming process because you want to keep the twist in the wires into the connector and because improperly seating a single wire strand leads to a bad crimp. Bad crimps mean having to repeat the process. And this means more labor and more parts. This `new to me' pass through connector makes it easy, I could run a single or pairs of the wire into it; this means that it is easy to get the pin placements correct...that was a bonus. More importantly it prevents a bad crimp which is both a time and a money saver. And the crimp tool makes it easy to insert and seat the connector prior to the crimp. With the standard diagram on the front side I could easily compare the wire colors to provide a second quality check that the connector was wired properly. The crimp tool's sturdy metal construction with ratchet action assures proper setting of the crimp. And the cut off blade cleanly sheared off all 8 wires. The tool is also capable of crimping shielded cables. The current crimp rating is for 1 gigahertz (GHz)...and there is a rumor that a 10 GHz tool is on the way. This is one crimp tool that will be staying in my tool box! Review: Why didn't someone think of this sooner? - OK, I don't know why it took so long for me to find something like this. I mean, trying to cram CAT6 cables into an RJ-45 plug is awful. You have to line them up, trim them so they're even, and pray that you get them all in the right holes the first time. Sometimes you get it on the first try, and sometimes you're fidgeting with one termination for 20 minutes. It's like like trying to shoot billiards with a rope. On top of that, you don't know if you got it until you test the cable. Even then, you'll sometimes just barely hit one of the leads on the plug. It tests fine, but a little wiggling and the cable loses the link, usually for the boss, and usually during the most critical possible time. Well no more. With this crimper, you can put each wire in individually. (I find this faster and less frustrating than trying to get all eight in one shot.) You do lose an additional 2-3 inches off each end, so be sure to measure your cable appropriately. Also, and I found this out through trial and error, be sure that each cable is very straight before inserting it. Especially if you're terminating stranded cable. The natural waves in the wire from the twisting will play havoc on trying to put the wires in. Once they're all in, you can pull, not push, until it's tight, so as to minimize the untwisted distance of the cable. You can verify that it's correct, then crimp it, with the full knowledge that the contacts will all be correctly seated and secure. I've tested every cable I've made with this, and so far, not a single one has had any problems. Plus, if you utilize the whole EZ-RJ45 system, you also get strain relief boots for the cables. (Which is required for CAT6) This makes for accurate, factory quality cables each and every time. Of course the plugs are more expensive than standard RJ-45. Platinum Tools has patented a genius product, and they know it. It's one of those "Man, why didn't I think of that?" things. Plus, when you consider the time and the cost of re-terminating bad cables, it's more than worth it to buy into the system. It seems like a bit of a racket, but this tool really is top-notch quality. As good or better than any crimper on the market, and in fact, you can use it on standard RJ-45 plugs if you need to. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this system to anyone who makes cables. The extra expense saves time, money and frustration in the long run. ## Features - Ratcheted, high leverage and stable platform for consistent, repeatable terminations - Patented "crimp and trim system" delivers a clean, flush trim on the extended conductors for all EZ Connectors - Tool steel die head assembly provides 360 degrees of connector support - Full Surface to surface contact delivers uniform crimp force - Built-in cutter and stripper from flat and round cable ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00939KFOU | | Best Sellers Rank | #105,892 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #372 in Crimpers | | Brand | Platinum Tools | | Brand Name | Platinum Tools | | Color | Color | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 784 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00849160001201 | | Grip Type | Ergonomic | | Handle Material | Alloy Steel | | Handle Type | Ergonomic | | Included Components | Part | | Item Type Name | Tools | | Item Weight | 9.07 g | | Manufacturer | North Coast Electric | | Manufacturer Part Number | 100054C | | Model Number | 100054C | | UPC | 787721828877 013161004640 787721475798 756655649735 849160001201 821259748501 785533096552 785533909692 631058264214 632963649561 899740002203 UPC 787721828877 013161004640 787721475798 756655649735 849160001201 821259748501 785533096552 785533909692 631058264214 632963649561 899740002203 See more | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Platinum Tools - **Color:** Color - **Item Weight:** 9.07 g - **Handle Material:** Alloy Steel - **Grip Type:** Ergonomic ## Images ![Platinum Tools 100054C Clamshell EZ-Rjpro Hd Crimp Tool - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71X3ibIiA2L.jpg) ![Platinum Tools 100054C Clamshell EZ-Rjpro Hd Crimp Tool - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71JaPZWZh2L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best Crimp Tool I Have Ever Used *by A***R on May 6, 2012* I learned how to install network in 1995 thanks to Anixter (at that time Cat5 was state-of-the-art.)

The annoyance of aligning 8 cores in a row with perfect ease can be done as I have done so many times, but this tool takes the stress away from those "not so good" days. Pros: - Nice, heavy design. - The stripping score for the shell is real nice, right on the edge for the cat6 i was using. Place the cable in position and crimp down, then turn the device in a circular motion and release. I then grab the outer shell and pull it right off, every time. - I used the cutters a couple of times to cut the cable straight and flush, but I love my tools that I always use and rarely use that the cutters on the device for that function. They worked, but I have ways I like doing things. - With the EZ connectors, when pulling the wires nice and straight through the connector, the ends are cut super flush. This really does cut nice. I have only done maybe 50 crimps with this one and this has worked every time. - Close the handle near 100% of the way and the ratcheting holds the handle together until you finish the cycle. Not sure why some people are talking about this as an issue, maybe the manufacturer changed the design between my post and theirs. Mine stays together just fine. Cons: -- If you do not use the strain relief, the connector really does sink pretty deep into the head. The first time i used a small straight screwdriver to nip the release and get the connector out. You can lightly pull on the connector and the release seems to stick out enough to hit it but it surely doesn't give much room. -- The EZ connectors. The batch that I am running through is very tight on the 8th slot and makes threading it through pretty annoying. Once i get past that #8, the rest is easy. ## Frequently Bought Together - Platinum Tools 100054C Clamshell EZ-Rjpro Hd Crimp Tool - Platinum Tools 100054SBL-10C Replacement Blades for EZ-RJPRO HD Crimp Tool --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kg/products/1228678-platinum-tools-100054c-clamshell-ez-rjpro-hd-crimp-tool](https://www.desertcart.kg/products/1228678-platinum-tools-100054c-clamshell-ez-rjpro-hd-crimp-tool) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kyrgyzstan* *Store origin: KG* *Last updated: 2026-05-01*
