ya, in the long run it will probably pay for itself...

If you could buy phone cords in increments of 6" anywhere from 3 feet to
50
feet, that might work. But you can't which pretty much seems to be his
problem. The reality is, you can probably buy a tool, some bulk wire and a
box of connectors for barely more than you would pay for a single pre-made
cord. And then you've got the stuff next time you need to do it.

As others have noted it is probably possible to do without a crimping
tool,
but the other side of the coin what are the costs and benefits of just
buying the tool. You can probably get a cheap one for under 10 bucks,
well
worth avoiding possible headaches from an improperly installed
connector.

Acutally, I realize I have at least two plastic ones lying around that
probably came with some installation kit. Want one? Paypal me 5 bucks
and
I'll mail one to you ;-) Email this address and I'll send you my real
email
address and contact info.

Hello everyone,
I have a phone extension cord pulled from one side of a room to
another
one
(around the room, under the carpet). The thing is that the extension
cord
is
way too long, which results in big bundle of unused cable at the
"output"
location. I'd like to cut the cable down, and re-attach a new phone
plug
onto the new end. My y question is - is there a way of attaching a
plug
onto
the cable without that special "crimping" tool. I don't really feel
like
buying this tool just to do a one time job (I will if I need to) but
thought
that perhaps there's another way of doing this. I'd greatly appreciate
any
information or advice. Thank you in advance.

Best regards,

Alan D.
