Questions & Answers
You push in and twist on the front end, and there's a spring tension wheel on the back end that you roll and hold open with your thumb to release pressure, then tap loose a couple of times against your palm to get it out.
Hello. Although it has been a while since I bought it, I believe it includes both the 66 and 110 blades. You must perform admirably. I hope that this information has been beneficial.
Made in China is written on the package.
Is this a legitimate concern? My screwdriver blade is at the bottom of my toolbox, the 66 non-cutting punch is on the tool, and the 110 is in the handle; this is simply how I keep it. It's a bayonet to get it off the punch end. Pull out after pushing in and turning. Before it falls out of the storage compartment, you must turn it all the way around. I don't think I'll be using the screwdriver blade any time soon.

I was surprised to find the 110 blade's edge was extremely blunted/rounded after hearing about "Eversharp" marketing terms. I wouldn't call it a blade because it had a pointed shape but was far from sharp. It wouldn't cut through my CAT6A shielded wires after punching them down into the punch panel; instead, it mashed them down. I had two options: keep punching and angling the punch until the blade made more and more contact, or damage one punch keystone and no longer be able to use it. After that, I came in and cut off the excess wires with my knipers. br>br>I can only assume this was designed for much smaller gauge CAT wiring, such as cat 5e or possibly even thinner gauge solid CAT 6. br>br>I reverted to my 17-dollar Trendnet punch down tool, which has a razor-sharp replaceable edge, and didn't look back. I'm afraid I threw out the packaging, so I won't be able to return this. It just goes to show that a well-known brand does not always imply superior quality. br>br>In terms of construction and quality, the unit was excellent, with the exception of the blade.
Although the shipping was quick and the tool was well packaged, I was disappointed with the tool's performance. Fluke quality is poor; I had to buy one to replace one that a coworker had lost, and it was 7 years old but still worked. This Eversharp blade (110) that came with the tool is useless. I tried a replacement blade from Fluke and it worked, but not as well as the 7-year-old blade that was used on the job every day. (I never sharpened the old blade either) I tried breaking it in and sharpening the blade and giving it a chance, but it's too late to return now, so I'm looking for a better tool.
I didn't use it right away after purchasing it because I had started a new job and hadn't needed it for several months. I've finally started using it on a regular basis, and the back end is particularly useful. Once you start punching with this tool, the holder no longer holds the other head in it. The rear holder begins to loosen after as little as one punch, and the other head begins to poke up, pressing into your hand or simply falling to the ground. Because of this one minor flaw, I am extremely dissatisfied with this tool. Be careful who you buy from.
It's just not up to the Harris' level of quality. The impact isn't as strong as the Harris', and while it's close, it's not enough to cut once every time. I'm still undecided about the blade; I believe it's not as cutty as the Harris'. I saw some replacement blades made from the metal the Harris had, so I'm going to try that. It is, however, one of the better punch tools on the market today. It isn't a Harris, to be sure. Harris, I've been thinking about you. *mournful expression*.
I already have one that came in a kit with scissors and a belt clip, and it's a fantastic punch. This one was purchased for a coworker and put to the test during two phone system installations last week. I was underwhelmed by the whole thing. I'm not sure if it's just a bad model or if it's a fluke (pun intended). The blades are not properly installed. They rotate and have the potential to fall out. In my previous punch, they were solid, but not in this one. When you try to use the screwdriver bit that they included, it appears to be useful. It's not the same as the punch bits when it comes to installation. It merely rests in the punch tool's hole. It does not lock into place, so be careful that it does not fall out while in use. Simply keep a screwdriver on hand to remove the bit. Hopefully, we just got a bad one, because Fluke makes excellent tools in general, but this one was a huge letdown.
It's a punch down tool with a wire spudger, but the blade doesn't appear to be as sharp as it could be. It's still working after a few months of near-daily usage. I had to replace a 15-year-old IDEAL that had broken. I'll be surprised if this one performs as well. br>I wish there was something about it that made me happy, because it punches and cuts. br>I'm not unhappy with it; I'm just not overjoyed about it.
I used to have an Ideal punch down, but after three years of use, it was time to upgrade. Due to the fact that it was a fluke, I knew it would be trustworthy. I was familiar with Fluke because of their testers, so I decided to give this punch down a try. Fluke continues to provide excellent software. Punches for data ports and data racks that are free of debris. It's a handy tool that's also very light. I use it for work on a daily basis, and it has proven to be a fantastic tool. This is something I recommend to data professionals who require a reliable punchdown. Thank you, Fluke, for consistently providing excellent tools that make my job easier and more enjoyable. ten out of ten!.
It's a little on the pricey side, but it's also not a gimmick. Has the ability to quickly punch down.
