I always use the cheap $5 crimper because I find once you practice with it =
a little the more expensive ones =E2=80=8Ecause bad crimps more often.
How much cable crimping are we talking about? It's a tedious task especiall=
y with cat 6. So I usually order them from cyberguys or cables.com nowadays=
because are cheap and verified with better test tools than I have at home=
=E2=80=8E.
It's really not to hard it just takes practice and a little effort to initi=
ally straiten the wires. I always strip the casing back more that I need to=
=E2=80=8E them clip the wires to the correct length after I've straiten seq=
uenced and aligned them. The next important thing is to make sure that all =
of the wires go all the way to the end of the connector before you crimp it=
. Then always test it when you are done.
There are also some new crimping tool and endings I seen recently for home =
=E2=80=8Euse which allow you to run the wires completely through the ending=
then clip off the excess when you crimp them.
These are probably not good for professional use due to the increased risk =
of the ends of the wires corrosion in 5 to 10 years but should be just fine=
for use at home.

Quoting Ruben Safir (mrbrklyn-at-panix.com):

> you can show me how to do it.
After he shows you classic TIA 568A and 568B cable wiring
configurations, buy yourself an ideal Industries Crimpmaster.=20

WABT4
You can also buy die sets for them, in case you want to do things other
than RJ-45, such as RJ-11 (telco) and other things.
Don't settle for any lesser crimping tool. There's a lot of them out
there that just suck.
Also: Get a big bag of RJ-45 ends and practice with them -- because it
takes some practice before you stop making dud cables. Once you've
gotten the knack, you can then turn out reliable ethernet cables with no
problem.
Also#2: If buying new ethernet cable, spring for CAT6E. (Yes, even
though officially no such spec exists, it nonetheless de-facto does.)
I make no apologies over my still working on using up the 1000' spool of
CAT5 I bought in 1997, but wouldn't _think_ of buying more of it.
