Fluke Networks D914S Impact Punch Down Tool

If you're going to be punching down more than two wires, the impact tool is a must-have! An impact tool is used by every professional. The tool is simply SO MUCH EASIER TO USE, which I greatly appreciate! This is a top-of-the-line professional punch-down tool that professionals prefer. After purchasing this, I was unable to part with my non-impact 66 and 110 punch tool. These days, no one wants to use such tools. Fluke is known for producing high-quality products, and the EverSharp blades are particularly long-lasting. This is a fantastic resource.

I was initially ecstatic to be getting a Fluke punch down for such a low price, especially since it was even less expensive than the Paladin SurePunch my boss uses! Well. What you pay for is exactly what you get. As soon as I took it out of the box, I could tell it was a low-quality product; everything about it felt cheap, and the blade removal switch was always rattling, even when I was barely touching the tool. I put it back in the box, filed a return, and went out and bought a Paladin 3588 SurePunch Pro. These are of excellent quality, and I am confident that they will last a lifetime. As I previously stated, I purchased the Fluke with the same expectation, and I only did so because it was less expensive and the Fluke's quality is well-known. With this tool, things are a little different. I would strongly advise you to get the Paladin instead of the Fluke D914S if you have the extra $15 to spare.

AWESOME collection of tools! I figured I'd treat myself to an upgrade because a lot of my telecom tools were beginning to show their age. br>br>The stripper is one of the best data cable strippers I've ever used. The fit is excellent, and they can be adjusted to fit any jacket on any cable you're working with. I have one minor gripe, but it isn't due to the tool's shortcomings. per se, as much as the entire kit (which I'll discuss further down). br>br>Electricians' scissors are also very useful. Excellent weight and balance, as well as excellent handles. I quickly became accustomed to them. br>br>The punchdown tool is adequate, but the spudger comes in handy when picking wires out of 66 and 110 blocks. We'll see how sharp the blade stays for how long because it's an "Eversharp. " It still works like it did when it was new after a thousand punches (which I expect). br>br>Flashlight is an inexpensive run-of-the-mill LED light. It's not particularly noteworthy, but it's nice to have on hand. Sharpie is the brand name of the permanent marker that comes with the kit. It's fine, but Milwaukee Inkzall would be a nice addition. br>br>I have two minor gripes, which is why I gave it four instead of five stars. To begin with, the case appears to be made of TPU and thus has some flex. I'd rather it was made of rigid plastic. Getting the impact tool out of the case can be a real pain. Second, the case rotates the stripper's thumbwheel every time you remove or insert it into the holster due to its design. The scoring depth on the cable is controlled by that thumbwheel. So it's possible that it's not scoring the cable properly every now and then, either because it's not cutting deep enough or because it's cutting too deep. Cutting too deep isn't a big deal because you should already be pulling the pull string down a few inches, but it's still annoying. br>br>Overall, I would strongly recommend this set to anyone working in the telecommunications or data industries.

The eversharp blade does not reliably cut cat 6e wires in jacks or on patch panels, which I have recently purchased this tool and punched down over 1,000 times without the punchdown tool slipping or breaking. Multiple strikes with a punchdown tool on light are still not recommended, and the eversharp blades rarely cut on the first punch, so the fact that it doesn't work well cutting in patch panels is a real issue. It's a great tool, but I had to get replacement blades from somewhere else.

Since 2009, when I attended PBX school in Texas, I've had this model of punch down. Since 2019, I've had the same one from school and have carried it with me wherever I go. My old Fluke punch down stopped working after I loaned it to someone else. In any case, I was in desperate need of a replacement. Fluke claims it can withstand a million punches, which I believe is correct. I've tried many different types of punch downs, but this is by far the best. Smooth, with enough impact at low settings to avoid rework, and that lasts almost indefinitely. My blade is terrible, so that's the only disadvantage I have.

Worked perfectly, and the company is well-known. When I was deciding whether or not to buy it, I read a few reviews that complained about the tool's cutting ability. This does not appear to be a problem with the tool itself. It's more of a problem of execution. Make a slight angle towards the blade at the very end of a punch. Every time, it works perfectly.

This punch down tool cuts on impact, the impact actually works, and it performs just as well as it did the first time. br>br>It also comes with attachments for the 66 block and screwdriver g, as well as a hook for removing wires in difficult-to-reach places. to get to places The cost is high, but it is well worth it. br>br> Cheaper alternatives simply do not (pun intended) cut it.

The snips are great, but they don't last forever; the flashlight still works; I still use the punch down tool after five years, but you do have to change the blades; the marker, well, it's a marker; the case sits in my closet; I don't use it, so I guess it's still new; and the wire strippers still work.
