These are what I have, work like a charm and cheap enough without being rubbish quality.
That one doesn't seem to do MMJ? At least, the description doesn't show.
They do, I own a pair :)
The thing to look for is on the side that does the 6P (RJ-11/RJ-12) plugs there's a
small plate with a screw in the middle that you have to remove to do MMJs. They also
usually say '6P/DEC' on them. Most of that style RJ crimpers I've seen have it
but it's worth checking if you buy elsewhere. In the case of those particular ones
they do MMJs just fine, .
I think one of the reasons a lot of people consider that MMJ crimps are rare is that a lot
of retailers never bother to list it as a capability so you have to squint at the photo to
see if they have the little plate or the DEC label stamped on them, or e-mail the seller
and ask (only to find they have no clue what an MMJ is, usually).
