Klein Tools VDV427-822 Impact Punchdown Tool Kit for 110 and 66 Panels, Cushion Grip, 4-Piece Set

I bought this to install Cat6 and RJ11 Keystone jacks for our home network and a corded phone extension. It worked almost perfectly - just make sure that, when you're pushing down on the tool, you hold it at 90 degrees to the jack, otherwise it may either damage the small prongs in the jack or just not push the wire in properly. The integral wire cutter didn't always cut completely through the protruding wires, but they were easy to break off afterwards.It's a nicely-made tool (as usual for Klein), with a strong pouch to store it.

Don't buy cheap. The spring and blade popped out during use on my other cheap punchdown tool. Punches were not seating pairs well. Had a 30% failure rate. Got this Klein tool and have had no fails. I use this regularly with high density patch panels and keystone jacks. Extended tip really helps when having to get in between cables in densly populated panels.

This review is on the cushion grip impact punch down tool kit. I'm an electrician and have worked in the field for over a decade. This is one of the nicest punchdown tools I've ever used and is very comfortable to use. The small pouch that comes with this kit holds the spudger the punch tool a Sharpie and my scissors quite nicely.

The tool is excellent, the blade not soo much.

First one broke after punching down one 48 port panel. The second one lasted even less time. My free monoprice tester has lasted years but was looking for something with more weight to it.

Replaced my old Klein punch down to have a better and more efficient wire cut and better connection to the keystone.

This is a traditional punch tool with a much larger handle. All my guys live it, even the old time telecom guys. It is much more comfortable to use and less fatiguing to use than the traditional punch tool. Not sure how long this has been on the market, but wish we had found these a long time ago. It is unlike the other punch tools that look like a screwdriver because it has a spring loaded impact like a regular punch tool and you can set it for low or high impact as well.

This punch down is legit....the best I've used so far. The handle is great and the double blade (110/66) is easy to change around. I haven't used the "pick tool" for anything, but the carry case is great - just strapped it to the side of my tool bag and this guys goes everywhere and is right there when I need it. I would highly recommend this if you do punch downs often.

Works as advertised. Good quality. As is expected with Klein

Perfect for what I need it forQuality is superb

i love this kit. hi and low punch setting and a comfortable phattt gripper along with pouch and pick tool. good kit for starting out. too many fake krone tools out there.. hard to tell whos selling real. so i went with this kit

Great but expensive. Pouch is just an extra add on, which is hitting customer pocket.

I run a data installation company with 4 skilled data engineers our existing krone tools are getting worn out with constant use around 1,000 per day we perchased 1 of these tools, to try out, as they have a good reviews in the states. the tool duly arrived i gave it to the engineers, try this and tell me what you think, well to say that they were NOT happy is an understatement, comments not fit to post here !!!! I have also tried punching with the klien tooli agree with my engineersthe unit punches the cat7/cat6/cat5 really well BUT it does not cut the ears of the cables after punching into the krone pointi did sent an email to the uk stockist but after a long wait still have not had a replywe have tested the punch tool with variouse units but it still does not pass the test fluke have a simular unit and it has the same issues not cutting i hope my review shakes some trees and a responce from klien toolsis forth coming
