I believe they are also willing to ship the stuff to you by mail.
I like that. I guess that other delivery methods are possible too.

As far as I know the 70-80 NIS crimper will only let you crimp RJ45
connectors. There is a 160-200 NIS crimper that also let you crimp RJ14
and possibly more; Unless there is a way to adapt the RJ45 only crimper
to other connectors that I am not aware of. I believe that a 160-200
NIS crimper is also built more professionally. For example, I believe
it require less effort when pressing the cable.
