Nice handy video. I don't do much CAT5 (much less 5e and 6) and still have three partial rolls of 5 laying around. But i wondered what the difference was with the 5e and 6.

As a start, look up the wire specs. The spec differences are pretty obvious. That's not the whole story at all, though. You have to work the wire with your hands to get an idea what the differences are.

I like those connectors. I still have the old style that don't push through. (Hmm, perhaps a tiny drill modification might change that.)

Those are not "the old style." They are a current style that sells by the thousands. Pros still use them.

Your drill idea, along with your general attitude about solving a client's URC situation, not to mention your general complaining about things, bring the word "dilettante" to mind. Trunk Slammer Supreme's suggestion elsewhere that you should partner with an installer seems to me your best bet for any A/V work that you run across.
A good answer is easier with a clear question giving the make and model of everything.
