Hello!
A long time ago, my journey as a networker began with these crimping pliers. I began to notice that the pliers do not completely clamp the connector and problems arise with this. Advise what to take new high-quality pliers and possibly tools that may really be required when installing the SCS (side cutters, a tool for stripping insulation, etc.). There was a need for a small case with connectors and other tools. I live in Moscow, so a special thanks for the links to the kits or individual components!

Need
1. Any tool box.
2. Normal cutters,
3. Knife and a set of spare blades
4. It is better to take non-lateral crimps, then over time they degrade less (or rather degrade more evenly), something like this arrangement dalincom.ru/images/201207/goods_img/3009_P_1343555 ...
5. Dialing tester
6. If you work with patch panels - a patcher, such as https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/3...
7. Screwdrivers
8. Electrical tape and cable ties
With the right hands, this is more than enough for twisted pair and telephone pairs.
PS Yes, they said a flashlight above - you can see if you have to crimp it in place somewhere in a dark place.

1. Ticks are like ticks. Well, buy some more branded ones, if you have the desire and opportunity
2. Side cutters. Ordinary, small
3. Knife
4. Flashlight
5. Pro-ring tester. It can be primitive, it can be smart - from the possibility, again.
It is quite convenient to wear it in a school pencil case for an inexpensive price. More expensive - a cosmetic bag. Maybe a branded case.

I've already crimped about 500 pieces like this and they seem to be still alive. Just in case, I would buy more of the same. The price is 3 kopecks.

+ to what has already been written
Cable cutter
Screwdriver set / cordless screwdriver with a set of nozzles
Stripping knife with a heel
Nettop, if you have to deal with connecting end users
If without a car, then a backpack
If with a drill and without a car, then a tool box on wheels or kravchuchka with a tool
box Choose a tool box so that you can stand on it and it does not collapse
. Consumables will occupy the most space: cable, connectors, cords, fasteners, ...

If there is a low current without installation (boxes, trays, etc.):
1. On the SCS:
1. A driving knife, I myself use an Alcatel (which is now Nexans) for rj45 and a separate knife for 110 panels.
2. Knipex cable cutter (expensive, you can take an analogue)
3. Pliers (remove insulation with a thread)
4. Sometimes a crimper (removal of insulation) comes in handy
5. Ties
6. Tape measure 1-3 meters (I have 3m)
------ ---
I practically do not use crimping. industrial patch cords. And for rare needs, definitely a crimp that presses "from the handles", lateral compression - crimps very badly.
