Boo... all you people raining on my parade...  I guess I'll be stopping by Fry's on my way home...  :D

Don't sweat it man, your reign as Solder :burgerking: should continue without issue.

ChadTower:
You don't want to try soldering all of the wires inside a cat5e sheath.  You just don't.  Buy a $10 crimper and put a new end on.  You'll be really glad you did.  Even for a strong solderer you're talking 5x the amount of work of cutting and recrimping.

I've one seen tool free keystone jacks? Is there something else? Probably be cheaper just to buy a crossover cable.

  I was planning on soldering and shrink-tubing the wires (check my custom title ;)).

Ethernet's not like farming cattle boy (or some other StarWars quote mangle). I wouldn't do it. Let us know how that works out :)
