The versatile punchdown/termination tool uses changeable
blades (sold separately) that enable installers to make reliable connections on
a variety of wire termination blocks. A simple push on the handle accomplishes
punchdown termination in one simple operation. An adjustable impact setting
allows you to terminate wire with less effort than other impact tools.
The tool handle can be fitted with several interchangeable custom blades (shown
below) to cover many termination types: 110 IDC, 66-clip, Krone, BIX (Northern
Telecom BIX system), and an awl (woodscrew starter punch). Krone and BIX blades
feature scissor-action trimming. A spare blade can be kept in a storage chamber
in the handle. Special application blades used with the impact tool can
terminate 22, 24 or 26 gauge wire and are made of durable stainless steel.
