PSA: I was crimping my RJ31X jacks with the wrong tool for two years until a customer's system kept dropping line voltage.

I finally realized my mistake when I compared my crimps under a magnifier to a proper one and saw the pins weren't seating fully, so what's your go-to method for testing phone line connections on a classic alarm panel?

Ugh, just use a butt set.
