Generally you will need a flathead and/or Phillips screwdriver depending on the particular plug. And a pair of wire cutters & wire strippers for cutting the wire to length, and stripping off the insulation.
Obviously an important safety tip is to make absolutely sure there is not power going to the plug before performing any work on it. Household current can kill instantly.

∙ 13y agoWiring a Cat-5 plug only requires 2 things; the color-code map (which pin goes where), and a crimping tool.
A good crimping tool can cost over $100.00 US, or you can get a tool that will work for several plugs at a much lower price.

Some tools dont have ground wire?
Some tools don't have ground wires because the tool exterior is plastic or some other material that will not conduct electricity. The ground is not required unless the case is metal and can become electrified if the "hot" wire touches it.Sometimes the tool's plug is "polarized" by having one contact larger than the other so it can only be inserted into an outlet in one direction, insuring that the same wire is always the ground or neutral and the other is always the "hot" wire. That insures that the tool's ground is always connected to the outlet ground.Other times the plug has a third prong that is the ground or neutral prong and can only be inserted one way in the outlet to insure the ground of the tool is always connected to the ground of the outlet.

3 wire to 2 wire plug?
You get a two wire plug!! You should never try to skip connecting the ground wire, the soul purpose of the ground is to create safety for you and others around you. the problem is that someone may assume that the ground is part of the wire since the plug is a three wire!! \You will have to skip the ground terminal on the plug. Usually plug has a green screw or wire, ground pin is longer than two other and round in shape.
