Unless you are out to make a lot of phone cords or do telecom work for a
living, you shouldn't have to spend a lot of money for a modular plug
crimp tool. You can find an inexpensive plastic tool at just about any
drug store, dry goods, hardware, grocery, variety retail store or big
box store. The better tool is usually glass reinforced plastic with
metal blades and will last you for years. I own several along with the
expensive professional crimpers. Take a look:

I've seen them in discount stores on the electrical goods aisle. Any
hardware store, electronics distributor, electrical supply house should
stock the darn things.

Home Depot, a little high price

Lowe's, very high price

Sears has a number of different priced crimp tools

Sears also has the $2.49 crimp tool

Too late now, but Harbor Freight usually has them. Can't speak to the
quality, but for only doing a few, durability probably isn't a major
concern. I need so few cables these days that I usually just buy
premade- my eyes don't see those itty-bitty wires so well any more.
