Question 1

What types of crimping tools do you stock?

Accepted Answer

We stock crimping tools for RJ45/RJ11 network connectors, coaxial cable terminations, electrical terminals, and multi-function crimpers. Our range includes basic models for occasional use through to professional-grade tools from brands like Klein Tools and Platinum Tools.

Question 2

Do I need a special crimper for Cat6 cables?

Accepted Answer

While standard RJ45 crimpers work with Cat6 connectors, we recommend using crimping tools specifically rated for Cat6 to ensure proper termination of these higher-specification cables, particularly for pass-through style connectors.

Question 3

Can I get next-day delivery in Auckland?

Accepted Answer

Yes, orders placed before 2pm typically qualify for next-day delivery within Auckland. For Wellington, Christchurch and other regions, delivery usually takes 1-3 business days depending on your location.

Question 4

Do you offer trade accounts for electrical contractors?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! Electrical contractors can apply for a business account to access trade pricing, 30-day credit terms, and priority dispatch. Simply complete our online application form with your NZBN and we'll set you up within one business day.

Question 5

What's the difference between ratcheting and non-ratcheting crimpers?

Accepted Answer

Ratcheting crimpers have a mechanism that prevents release until the crimp cycle is complete, ensuring consistent, properly compressed connections every time. Non-ratcheting tools are simpler and less expensive but rely on the user to apply proper pressure.

Question 6

Are your crimping tools covered by warranty?

Accepted Answer

Yes, all crimping tools come with genuine manufacturer warranty ranging from 1-5 years depending on the brand and model. We only stock authentic, brand new tools with full warranty coverage.
