If you Terminate lots of ethernet cable and are looking to save time, this is the tool for you. It makes working with separating pairs a breeze.
I'm an A/V / Network technician so when I have to sit behind a rack all day terminating RJ45 ends, the untwist tool always comes out! Especially on the days where I'm doing more than 30-50+ terminations. I'm the type to set up my terminations like an assembly line, and with the untwist tool it speeds up the whole process.
I started using this product when I started out doing AV. I've stripped cable before with different tools to help with straightening and typically I used my own hands. It took some time to getting used to since it's a new method but after that, it's smooth sailing!
If you are doing patch panel work this is nice to have in your arsenal, saves time and your fingers with CAT6. It has a learning curve, much like terminating coaxial or STP it requires some technique and practice to use it well, don't expect magic on first try.
The tool does work really well and as someone who has blistered their hands untwisting cat6 cable, buy this and never look back!
