"Very stick and the adhesive does not give out in hot weather."
"Good quality tape."
"It does the job it is supposed to do and doesn't come off like the cheap tape."
"Excellent tape at a good price."

"This is the only electrical tape my husband will use."
"I got this to cover all those electronic lights that are always on: power strips, smoke detectors, etc."

"CAN'T DO WITH-OUT MR WIRE STRIPPERS-SO NICE TO HAVE WHEN YOUR DOING WIRING ON A CAR OR TRUCKS."

"Stripping THHN or smaller gauged wires is much easier, no screwing around with a regular pair of strippers."
"This thing is amazing."
"Used these for only 3 projects so far but they work great, can't believe they aren't the standard for wire strippers by now."
"Yeah, costs more than the $7 pair, but when you're doing a larger project (wiring a large barn with lights and outlets, in my case), this tool is just suddenly completely worth the money."

"The hardest part for me was getting the 8 individual wires into the cap in the right order, which has nothing to do with the tool itself. In terms of actually using the tool, the printed instructions are useless, but I found this video to be extremely helpful."
"Where as with my old crimp tool, the handles were open so I could wrap the handles around the middle of a long cable and cut it (not necessarily as part of a crimping job). Make sure the part of the cable you want to cut is lined up here with the excess to be cut off fed through the telecom strip blades."
"My IT practice might see me terminating Ethernet cables a few times a year."
"This punch down tool has every bit of quality and performance that rivals the top infamous industry brands at a good price."
"I think this crimper deserves 5 stars because it functions essentially the same as a $40 tool but for less than half that price. The TRENDnet RJ-11/RJ-45 Crimp/Cut/Strip Tool TC-CT68 (Blue) has 4 levels of stop (you can even see the notches) before it depresses all the way and releases."
"This product works!"
"Not anywhere near as well as I expected for a name brand product. I've found a cheaper model that looks identical and works perfectly so this is no longer in my bag."
