You won't need crimpers if you are just running the cable between two sockets. You just need the punch down tool. Premade patch leads to connect the socket to computer / router or whatever is the best option.

A cable connection tester is useful to confirm you've made it all up correctly.

If you can wire a plug you can wire your own ethernet cable network, just follow the colour code on the socket plugs. It's easy to get confused between A & B standards.
