Good place to buy network cables and installation tools?

[thirdlegstump]

Got a bit of a home project thing going and need a place to get some keystone jacks, punch down/trim tools and some bulk CAT 5e. Any recommendations? I would also be using the punch down tool for other projects so I want something a bit more solid than the disposable plastic type. Thanks.

I know I know...try compusa or best buy.

I really don't know where you live too well so I can't say.

Look up 'telecom supplies' and ushc on google in your area

They usually got a kit with ends and a crimper for around $35 shipped or something.

Well they used to have a 1000' kit, but I don't see it anymore, so just the 300' is left. Still not a bad deal, you could always just buy more cable if needed, most local places will want $30 for the crimper alone, and $5+ for a 10-pack of crimp-on ends.
