Explanation
The hardware list includes RJ-45 wall jacks (keystone jacks), which require a punch down tool to terminate individual wire strands into the jack's IDC (Insulation Displacement Connector) contacts. The crimper on the list is used for attaching RJ-45 connectors to cable ends (patch cables), but it cannot terminate wall jacks. A compression tool is for coaxial F-connectors, a network map is a document not a physical tool, and a multimeter tests electrical properties - none of these terminate wall jacks. The punch down tool is the missing and essential item.
