I'm changing over the installed phone links in my house to ethernet and I would like to borrow an RJ45 crimper. Anyone have one to lend me for a bit?

TIA

Be sure that you get the tester as well. . . I have had many failed crimps as the wires are so tiny and getting them lined up and in the correct pin holes took lots of practice, especially since there are two ways to set up the color scheme, extension or patch panel

Newer RJ45 connectors have holes at the end opposite from where the wires enter. Allows having longer length wires stick out of the connector so you can easily verify wire positions, and they always are pushed in all the way. Snip off the extra once crimped.
