Some questions about control panels
ArcadeSeeker962:
Thank you GregD and PL1. I'm going to buy them from Altex, because it looks like they're a reputable store, definitely more so than the sellers that were selling it on Amazon. As for the tools that I'll be using for it, does this look like a good deal, along with including everything I need for crimping wires?

As for the videos, I'll watch those too. The computer that the whole family uses lags when it comes to watching YouTube videos, but I noticed I can hear what's going on in the videos anyway(luckily, I'm a good listener :) ).

If you're working on a telephone punch panel or ethernet (RJ-45)/telephone (RJ-11) cables, then yes. For QDs, you might want something like this:

I like this particular one because of the wider handles that dig into your hand less than most of these.
These look good for wire strippers for 16-24 gauge wire:

Thank you for the links. I'll show these to my father, since we're working on our cabinet together.

I learned how to crimp and cut wires today, and I actually did a really good job at it. My father already owns a wire crimp tool and a wire cutter as well, so I'm all set for when the time comes when I assemble my control panel.
