The Klein Tools VDV026-212 is a coax and data-cable termination kit built around three core tools: a radial stripper, a ratcheting modular crimper/stripper and a 110-type punchdown tool, plus a few RJ45 Cat5e plugs and a zippered pouch. The ratcheting crimper is the standout piece, since it seats RJ45 connectors in one squeeze instead of hand strength. The radial stripper's self-adjusting blade handles several cable diameters without nicking conductors. It suits homeowners and low-voltage installers doing coax, phone and Ethernet runs, and it competes with Klein's own individual tools and with cheaper no-name kits that lack the punchdown tool.

Owners of Klein's VDV line generally rate the ratcheting crimper and radial stripper highly for clean, repeatable terminations. Complaints center on the small plug count and the kit's focus on data cable over coax.
This kit from Klein Tools includes the tools needed to strip, crimp, and punch down to connect modular cables. Everything comes together in a zippered polyester pouch.
The Radial Stripper (Cat. No. VDV110-261) has a durable high-carbon steel blade. It adjusts automatically to different cable diameters to avoid damaging conductors. The Ratcheting Modular Crimper/Stripper (Cat. No. VDV226-011) cuts, strips, and crimps data cables.
The 110-Type Punchdown Tool has Klein's exclusive DuraBlade precision cutting edge for clean, accurate wire termination. The kit also includes six RJ45-Cat5e modular data plugs.
