              They would with most brands, though AMP brand RJs have a tendency to only work well in AMP crimpers, and AMP crimpers have a tendency to only worl well with AMP RJs. That said, I was using Ideal RJs for a while, but now I only use the ones I get from Monoprice (107266), they work perfectly and are very inexpensive. I have used them in industrial and general commercial locations with no issues. This included areas with high humidity.

                          Solid, confident crimp. On certain CAT5 or CAT6 cables, the insulator stripper cuts too deep and nicks the wires, so you have to be careful. There's not a great way to get the cut wires out after using the cutter, so you just have to shake it! Overall, a solid feel and I like that it's compact.
