I already have the Klein VDV226-107 compact crimp tool.
Klein Tools VDV226-107 Compact Ratcheting Modular Crimper - - Amazon.com

I plan on getting the CAT 6 UTP bulk roll;
1000FT 23AWG Cat6 500MHz UTP Solid, Riser Rated (CMR), Bulk Ethernet Bare Copper Cable - White (alternative is PID # 12787) - Monoprice.com
Good choice?

What connector would be best to use with that cable and the crimper mentioned? I tried the IDEAL brand 3 piece and hated it. The insert did not have passthrough so the cable length had to be exact before crimping. Very hit/miss.
Anybody use the Platinum 3 piece modular connectors?;
Platinum Tools 106177C RJ45 CAT6 High Performance Round-Solid 3-Prong Modular Plugs, 25-Pack - Electric Plugs - Amazon.com
Their video on the Platinum website looked great, but there are 2 bad reviews on Amazon out of only 2 users. Not a very good feeling for a product that has been out for a few years.
Or how about the Klein VDV826-03 three piece modular;
Modular Data Plug RJ45 CAT6 - VDV826-603 | Klein Tools - For Professionals since 1857
as usual,....Thanks in advance.
