I take it you mean crimpers, but I'm going to call them crumpets from now on.
It's one of these - my favorite stripper for shielded cable.
Sweet load out, one thing that sticks out is the cheap cable stripper. I learned on those grey strippers and hated them. A few years ago I bought my own decent kit and it came with these These are a must if you're going to be doing a lot of termination. I just redid our main patch closet and had to re-terminate half our connections ~150 or so.
You're welcome. Paladin (and their cheaper entry-level Datashark brand) also has some decent offerings if you want something more "name brand" but still inexpensive.
Paladin:
Crimpers
Stripper
Tester
The Paladin stripper works really well; I think I prefer that one to the cheap Monoprice one I purchased (though it gets the job done). Both are adjustable for different thickness wire / sheathing.
Datashark:
Crimpers
Striper
Tester
The Datashark crimpers lack a ratcheting mechanism, so I'm not a huge fan of them, but a coworker owns a pair and they work fine. The testers from both are nearly identical, and don't really offer any more functions than the cheap no-name import ones do (except perhaps a better warranty).
Thanks for the advice! Do keystones need to be rated exactly for Cat6a, or are they interchangable? I saw this 25-pack on Amazon for 29USD but they say they're for Cat6.
This is the punchdown tool I've got so I think I'm set there. I have ordinary wire strippers (very similar to these), would those work or would I have to buy something like this instead?
