I use the EZ-RJ45 connectors and tool at work all the time the work very well and are much easier to make sure the wires are in the correct places. I think a standard crimp tool will crimp them OK it just won't cut the wires that come out the front of the connector. A good pair of flush cutting (small size) pliers should work fine for trimming or a carefully used razor blade should work as well. There is a small ledge on the connector where the wires come out the fron and it should be fairly easy to use the razor blade method.
