Crimping Cat6a STP with Platinum tools RJ45 Cat6a Shilded RJ45 PN 106190

This is turning out to be frustrating. I just terminated 200 Cat5e drops and it was a breeze. Passed fluke certification, etc. I have to use Shielded cable due to outdoor camera warranty requirements for Axis cameras which require shielded cable. Getting 8 wires into the load bar in the right order is tricky, the plastic in the load bar is too soft and it bends sometimes causing the openings to allow the wires to spread and lose their alignment. Special terminating/crimping tool required. http://www.platinumtools.com/upload_doc/140242433710Gig_Instruc_ONLINE.pdf Just wondering if I should keep trying this method, I have 20 feet of cable and a box of connectors to practice with, or buy a different product.
