Punch Down Tool

Network Impact Punch Down Tool with 110 Blade Type | Block Termination Tool

A punch-down tool, also called an Impact Tool or Block Termination Tool, is a small hand tool used by telecommunication and network technicians. It is used for inserting wire into insulation-displacement connectors on punch-down blocks, patch panels, keystone modules, and surface mount boxes (also known as biscuit jacks). The “punch down” part of the name comes from punching a wire into place using an impact action. It consists of a handle, a spring mechanism, and a removable slotted blade. When the punch-down tool connects a wire, the blade cuts off the excess wire.
