TRENDnet Punch Down Tool With 110 And Krone Blade, Insert & Cut Terminations In One Operation, Precision Blades Are Interchangeable & Reversible, Network Punch Tool, Grey, TC-PDT

My Microsoft Surface notebook is a great computer except for having very slow Wi-Fi speeds. All other computer devices in the house obtain a little over 400 MBPS Wi-Fi down link speed. The Surface only obtains, at best, a little over 100 MBPS. A CAT-5 Ethernet cable wall outlet was on the opposite side of my office room computer desk. The cable connects to a Spectrum router in an adjoining room. The cable was re-routed in the walls to behind my desk. A flat stick punch tool, for telephone wire connecting, was used for terminating the CAT-5 cable ends on Keystone wall plates on both ends. The Internet download speed was still just a little above 100 MBPS. The TRENDnet Punch Down Tool was used to re-punch down the 8 wires on each Keystone receptacle. The Internet speed leaped to as high as 690 MBPS. The subscription from an Internet service cable provider is 500 MBPS down & 20 MBPS up. The TRENDtool was very easy to use with great results, a very beneficial investment!

Muy buena calidad, trae una punta extra.

Bought Years Ago - Still Works! If you are new, just getting into the field ... Just buy it for those short time on site / punch down backboards. Or the tight spaces ... quick low pay jobs ... that you just want to get in and out quick without spending a lot of money. Get your experience and move on. Yes, the tool works.

This tool works as advertised, but be careful. I once tried to punch without being able to put the plug on a flat surface, the tool slipped and 3 hours later I was in the hospital getting 6 stiches in my thumb. If in doubt, just use an old-fashioned hand puncher.

I had an issue with one of my ethernet wall jacks in my home. A couple of the wires were not sitting correctly. I tried to push the wires in but realized I needed a punch down tool. I looked at several brands ranging from $12 to $75. The TRENDnet Punch Down Tool was listed as a top pick on several websites. And the customer ratings were very positive. This tool is very easy to use. I have a CAT 5 cable which I set the tool to LOW. Wires went in with no issue and the excess wire was snipped off very easily. I am very happy with my purchase, only $15.99.

I usually don't write reviews without using the product, but I'm going to in this case. I'll update later too.But I wanted to put down my initial impression of this after opening the package. I'm IMPRESSED. It looks like it would be cheap and hollow feeling, but it is nothing like that. It feels substantial in your hands. I'd say even more solid than a 90s Nokia candy bar phone.All the seams like up perfectly and the molding is very clean. It has a mechanism to hold the extra KRONE blade in the bottom and caps to keep them clean.I would say this is the ONE to buy at this price range.

My team and I just finished up a 30,000 square foot network install. Running cable, drops and terminating all ends in the switch room and in the walls. When you are looking for a quality punch down tool, you want it to be built well, punch well and the cutter needs to do it's job. There is nothing more annoying that trying to punch down cable and the cutter not doing it's job leaving frayed ends and not falling off. If you've done this kind of work then you know what I'm talking about.I've used this punch down tool for hours and hours and it's been amazing! What could take you a long time with a bad punch down tool, this tool makes quick work of hard jobs. It cuts true every time and actually does what it's suppose to do! I've used it on tons of patch panels in the server room and so many drops in different offices. I'm in and out in a jiffy and overall very pleased with this punch down tool.

I recently purchased this to replace my sons last punch tool which was stolen from a job site. he is an IT pro and use this once in a while. I dont do cabling full time but I do need to punch a jack now and then or replace a bad cable. THIS IS NOT A HIGH END TOOL like a fluke but does the job well. always punch twice with medium pressure set and it cuts the wire every time and produces a solid connection. The only down side is they included a krone blade which is not used in the USA so it is useless. They should have included a 66 blade which is used for telephone work. I will be buying another one as a backup and fitting it with a 66 blade.
