Well, it can be useful to crimp them yourself if you want to roll them
over.  If you're talking to a cisco router, for example, then you have
no choice but to roll them with a standard male DB-25 connector on the
other end.

I have all the tools for making RJ-45 and RJ-11 connectors (and know
how to use them :-), and I'm certainly happier with that arrangement.
