What's the orange tubular thing with the twistable handle for? and how do I use the orange screwdriver like thing with the small display built in? This kit should have come with an instruction manual
UntouchedWagonsIt's a cable stripper. You can pull back clothespin like part with your thumb, insert the right size cable in the right slot (ethernet/rj45 style cable for instance) spin it, and it will cut through the jacket but not cut the copper wire inside.
Look up "ez cable stripper" on google.
In the last drop of this, there were comments stating that they got Type C power connectors. I does anyone know if this is *supposed* to come with Type A connectors by default? I live in US and I would prefer to not have to buy an adapter for a connector that so clearly in the image shows a Type A connection.
How does a set with this many items exclude a set of scissors? I terminate 30-50 connections a week and use a pair of electricians scissors instead of having a wire stripper, cable jacket ripper and pair of flush cutters.
You might be better off just buying 3 or 4 essentials from your local hardware store and not filling up your tool bag with all these random unitaskers.
ProtoTRD100% right. Not only does a good pair of really sharp scissors cut down on burs when you are terminating rj-45 cable, it's generally really important to cut things to size with. Very weird that scissors aren't included. IT technician here who has ran a good amount of network cable as well.

i hope mass drop got it straight with the distributor in sending the soldering iron with its proper plug , whether a type C or type A...considering the pictures shows it with the north American plug and it came with the European. having to get an adapter inst a super big deal but giving the kit as a gift makes it a disappointing surprise for everyone involved...MASSDROP please get it straight. this was a wide spread problem...not just one or two people.
Just got mine in...word of warning..the soldering iron's plug is euopean..will not work in north america without an adapter...would have been nice to get one made for North America Or at least warned about it.
Finally got the drop today. The kit isn’t professional quality, but it’ll definitely work for hobbyists. Considering the price I paid, I’m happy with it.
Unfortunately, my kit came with a Type C plug on the soldering iron instead of a Type A. Submitted a support ticket—hopefully it gets resolved.

Ragnar.KonSame Here..do we get a replacement or an adapter for our trouble?
warchyld67Neither in my case. Got a refund instead. They didnt have any replacement units in stock, and Jakemy doesn’t offer any warranty.
(Props to Massdrop for handling the situation correctly and offering a refund with free return shipping.)
