Finally, I got the crimping tools I have wanted for a long while, not exactly top quality models, but they have worked nicely so far... :)

Got the a BT plug tool, which does both Right & Left-handed plugs (Right for line, Left for handset (or one of the defunct BT PBX systems)), and a cheap RJxx tool that does RJs 10/22, 11/12 and 45, both are nothing special, but I would recommend anyone get at least the RJ plug tool, and us brits the BT plug tool too... :)

They're nothing special, but they're pretty handy to make up, repair or alter your wires... :)

Also the RJ tool came with one of them wire de-sheathers, never used one and don't know how to... :D

Been fiddling with them, shortening the tail-ends on the Cortelco-supplied handset cable, replacing the plugs on the AT&Tified NE2500's handset cable, and making up a short BT-RJ11 link cable with some red cable left over from the one I sliced up for the 2554, just to see how well I can do it... :D

And a picture of my new tools... ;D
