If the cable hasn't been scanned for whatever category rating you are installed you can't say you don't have performance problems. While a cable may appear to function properly you don't know until it is certified. Even the most seasoned cable installers will tell you this and they avoid crimping ends onto cable like the plague.
Make a few cat6 cables, scan them and you'll find that many of them will fail.

I have a set of Ideal Rachet Telemaster crimpers. They work well and I've had them for several years.
I bought mine at Lowe's for ~ $50. I'm sure they can be had cheaper online though.
