With the offset plastic latch of the MMJ, one would most certainly need
an MMJ die or a crimper that's otherwise designed for it. I picked up a
an IDEAL Telemaster #33-701 crimper at Fry's Electronics a few years
ago. It handles RJ-45 and MMJ; it works very well. There's also the
#33-703 which does RJ-11 and MMJ if you don't need an RJ-45 crimper.
