Such a thing as a 90 degree crimp tool or very low profile crimper?

Cyrus

i need to terminate a very short piece of cable coming from a wall, i cant re run it so need to make do, there is enough to terminate but its hard get a good crimp with the tool i have, ideally id have one that was head on, or if not something very low profile i can get right in at it.

any suggestions?

You did not say what kind of cable

As alternative, solder an extension to it?

sorry ethernet cat6, so cant solder an extension.

Or what kind of wall!

If there's a cavity behind it or you can put a box on try one of these.

a tool-less keystone jack might work for you

I haven't come across a tool that takes the wired into its 'nose' which seems to be what you need, IIUC.

You might be able to find a small-headed tool that will fit into the space you have ...... maybe something like this?

I have successfully used an inline coupler as suggested above.
