I will assume that many in this forum have at least 20 different screwdrivers in their toolbox. I still have. T-6 hollow screwdriver used only in some Compaq compact PCs 18 years ago. And since I am still the go-to techie for many people around me, I see that people are amazed by "oh what does that do" (especially for the RJ11&45 crimp tool).

Tried to crimp an RJ45 cable this weekend and went through 3 plugs and couldn’t get the wires to line up. I wonder if I got the plugs too cheaply but it seemed like there was nothing to keep the wires aligned. I haven’t had to crimp an RJ45 in maybe 10 years, maybe I just lost the touch.
Thankfully I had some RJ45 punch down terminators so I could cheat with that. Of course I didn’t have the little plastic 110 punchdown tool to seat the wires...
