RJ45 Crimper
I'm looking for an RJ45 crimper to add to my tool collection.
If I had the cash to go with Paladin I would, but at this point I want to limit my spending to approx. $30 on this purchase. Suggestions will be most appreciated.

Re: RJ45 Crimper
Klein makes one that does 4, 6, and 8 position connectors for around $25 - 30.
 I'd also say look at Ideal, I know alot of telecomm guys who prefer Ideal.

Re: RJ45 Crimper
I have one that I bought at Lowes 3-4 years ago that I believe is Ideal. They are not nearly as nice as the ones I used when I was doing my Cisco stuff, but they have held up fine for me. Get a good pair of electricians scissors to go with them if you don't have a pair already.

Ship turned me on the electrician's scissors a few years ago. They're pretty nifty.

Re: RJ45 Crimper
I have always used these or a knockoff of these...
Amazon.com: Klein 2100-7 Electrician's Scissors - Stripping Notches: Home Improvement Also, if you are doing a lot of jacks these are not a bad thing to have... Amazon.com: CAT5 Stripper Tool: Home Improvement In a former life I used to work for an communications contractor... punched down more jacks then one ever should in a short period of time...

Re: RJ45 Crimper
+2 for the Kline. I have had one for a couple of years now. It has served me well.
