I'm new at networking and I want to start making my own network wires/cables for my office. I ordered this crimping tool from www.lducompany.com (crimper should be here in a few days) and I wanted to learn if there are any other kinds of network cat5 wire crimping tools out there that would work better? http://www.liangdianup.com/inventory/459901.htm is the location for the crimp plires on thier website, those are the ones that I bought. Funny that it says Germany on the handle of the plires but I would gues they are made in China since the company I bought them from is in China. If you know of a name of a certin cat 5 wire crimper that would be better for me to use then please post it here. Thank you

Klein makes very good professional grade tools. I would suggest if you are going to do your own wire crimping you should find a professional who is good at it and have them teach you how to do it properly. If you do it poorly your CAT5 cable may not continue to be CAT5 through the connector. It becomes even more critical if you have CAT5-E or CAT6. You don't want to spend the money for high quality cable only to ruin it's properties with a poorly attached connector.
