wiring question

Stryker:
I know MES probably isn't the best place, but you guys seem quite helpful. I have purchased an rj-45 terminator, but do not have a crimp tool (and can't afford one) what would be a good method of terminating the wire without buying a crimp?

voidmain:
You really need a crimp tool. You can get them at reasonable prices. If you still can't afford one, borrow one.

Stryker:
I talked to a teacher of mine at school, she'll let me borrow hers. Until then I have cut the end of one wire and the wire i have i used tape to put the wires together in the needed order. (i love tape...) looks like i'll be going shopping next payday.

voidmain:
I have an "Ideal Telemaster" crimp tool (Cat. No 30-496). It works pretty well and I am pretty sure it was less than 20 bucks. On second thought, it looks like it must have been closer to 40 bucks:

I steal all my RJ45 connectors from work, but they are cheap.

Hehe..."job perks"   :D  

I want to do my house with in-wall wiring. Right now, the cabling is just lying around the house.

Or I could shut up and buy wireless equipment. But I can't give up gigabit networking for a meager 11 MBps or 45 MBps if I feel cash-happy.    

Thanks for the link void main
