channel going and remember if you found
this video helpful and you liked it give
a thumbs up and share it so enough with
the formalities let's get started so
today i want to show you four tools for
network installations low voltage
installs and home network projects
every tool that i show you today is what
i consider a must-have
and to keep this video from being too
long i'm only going to show you four
tools now i know i'll get hundreds of
comments about tools that i left out in
this list
but remember it's only four tools so i'm
bound to miss some tools you think are
important but that's okay leave your
opinions in the comments below i'm all
good with that so now let's get started
alright guys let's take a look at my top
four networking tools
first tool
network cable tester
this number cable tester is from a
company called client tools i have a
link in the description and price for
this tool
but this is a must have tool for
networking
it's one of my favorite tools this tests
for voice
data and video you can see the
connections right here for cat 3
cat 5e cat6 and for coax
as a network installer this is a
must-have because if something goes
wrong on the network this tool will help
you find out what went wrong so
definitely get one of these there's a
lot of brands out there they're around
100 maybe 60 to 100 a good one is 100
bucks but you definitely need one of
these second tool you're going to need
easy crimping tool now this is a
professional grade
rugged heavy duty i recommend spending a
little bit of money on this
you want this to be durable especially
if you use this a lot
also make sure it has the blades right
here
for cutting and for also doing stripping
of wires so it really it's a
three-in-one tool
it's a no-brainer you've got to have
this and this terminates cat 3 all the
way to cat 5e cat6 and i believe cat7
and because this is an easy pass-through
cripping tool when you're terminating
rj45 easy connectors
this is perfect because the end here
cuts off the rest of the wires
so spend some money about 40 bucks i'll
have links for this also in the
description below and my third must-have
networking tool is a coax cable hip kit
you have everything you need here the
terminate coax cable
and once again this one's about 39
i would go ahead and get the one that's
more heavy duty they make them a little
bit cheaper than this you can get one
pipe for 19 but like i said you get what
you pay for if you're gonna use this a
lot spend a little extra money for the
heavy duty
but it's a must-have and the fourth
networking tool you're gonna need is not
even a networking tool but it is a stud
finder this is super important when
you're looking for studs in the walls
and this stud finder also detects water
pipes as well as electrical wires
pretty cool so i recommend getting a
good stud finder digital that can detect
studs electrical and plumbing because
the last thing you want to do is drill
into some pipes and start a water leak
get my drift and i just say there's only
four tools but i'm gonna give you one
more tool you're gonna need it's a
multi-tool this tool is a flathead and a
phillips with all different sizes
perfect when you're on the go this
multi-tool is fantastic it's got four
different flat heads and four different
phillips head sizes perfect you can put
this in your pocket it's even got a clip
on your side your hip
perfect and like i said at the beginning
of this video you're going to notice i
left out a lot of tools for networking
but i wanted to keep it short and simple
but these tools are a must have and you
will need these when you're doing
network installations
but feel free in the comments to give me
your opinions i want to hear them and
