Networking toolkit for terminating RJ45 etc?

I haven't had the need thus far to do any of my own network cabling hence don't currently possess any of the tools to do it however it's something I'd like to get into starting with a few runs of Cat6 needed around my house.

After that I wouldn't be crimping more than a cable or two a month so nothing too fancy is needed.

Looking for recommendations on the basic equipment to get started; tools & consumables (Auckland based or online):

Would like to be able to work with Cat5(e) & Cat6, solid core & stranded UTP.

Need to install a couple of wall jacks at home.

Punch down tools for common keystones / patch panels would be handy.

Cable tester?

Cable tracer? - not sure if needed at this stage.

Cheers
