So I need to wire a long ethernet cable and terminate both ends. I am not a professional and the last time I attempted it with normal connectors and a crimp tool I tool about 15 attempts to get each connector to crimp on correctly. I was wondering do these connectors need a special crimping tool just for them or will a normal crimping tool work? They are expensive and if I need another tool I'll just buy normal connectors and try my 2% chance luck again. https://www.ebay.ie/itm/25-RJ45-CAT6-Crimp-Cable-Connectors-End-pass-through-Ethernet-modular-Plug-EZ/192362556509?hash=item2cc9b3ac5d:g:0CwAAOSw8b1aCJ4m

Or would I be better off with a load bar style connector?

they also use a normal crimp tool, you cut the wires manually off the end, not sure now that I think of it if the others in the first post expect a manual cut, different brands do different things.

But they all use a regular crimp tool.
