Default Tougher modula jacks

Evey month the little lever thingie snaps off the modular RJ11 mail
connector on my laptop's dialup modem cable and I have to crimp on a
new one. Not a major sweat, but are there tougher, maybe metalic
connectors that don't keep snapping? Do they work with the same crimpers?

BTW, what is the smallest (still cheap) crimper? Maybe on a stick you
press down instead of clamp like a plier?
Idea is it should be like a screwdrive, disposable and in pocket.
