You need a fishtape and a good fiberglass push/pull rod

Not sure why you would need the crimper. If you're using Keystone jacks all you need is the punch down tool and a cheap plastic wire stripper. Buy your patch cables pre-made. The only thing I'd add is a cheap ethernet tester to be sure you didn't get any wires crossed.

Yeah, just a wire mapper will be fine.

Don't get that crimper.
If you need to crimp more than about one jack in your life, you need to spend the bucks and get a ratcheting crimper with padded handles. That one will give you serious pain in the hand.
If you are just making your own sockets, the punch-down tool is enough, and if you are going with cat-6 patch cords, you definitely want to buy pre-made, not crimp your own.

I'll have to get one of those keystone holders. I've punched down into my finger before and it's not the best feeling.

Absolutely, without a doubt, the #1 tool I have ever used for network cable... and I have done A LOT of network cable...
