So I am trying to connect my laptop to router using cat6. I unknowingly bought a regular crimping tool for my pass through Rj45 connector. So i there a work around for it and can I reuse it instead of wasting that tool

Yes you can do that. You have to follow some steps as shown in these pictures. Some pass through connectors don't allow the sheath to go in far enough to work properly. These ones are great.

    On a slightly different note, can a pass-thru crimper be used to crimp non-passthu connectors? If the only difference is the cutting blade, then it should work, right ?
