the one I use (but am rather attached to, thanks).
I saw those. They're OK. Although, you can save money by buying the
same online.

When I was searching for a coax crimper I noticed some good RJ45 deals
on http://www.e-bay.com. I got a crimper with a die for $20.
You do, I hope, mean ebay.com? e-bay.com isn't owned by at all the
same folks...
Oops. Yes. http://www.ebay.com
Nah, die systems end up being more trouble than they're worth.
You'll only ever want an RJ-45 and one of the two possible phone
RJs (two-pair is 11, I don't remember what three-pair is, four-pair
is 45). And if you've only got one slot for the die, you'll be
switching every time you use it, guaranteed. If you're only doing
home stuff (no digital phone systems), you only need an RJ-45 and an
RJ-11.
True. Although it seems that dies systems are work more smoothly and
are higher quality. For home use a permanent combo crimper is fine.
(For coax I think I would still recommend a die system because a wider
variety of cable s used. There are three difference types of coax in my
place and I wish I could crimp two additional types.)
