Review: Good tool for the home user, probably not professional quality - I was torn with this item whether to rate it 4 or 5 stars. Pros: ~ cheap ~ reversible blade, one side cuts, the other does not. ~ adjustable spring, however so far in my experience I am not sure where you would need to adjust the spring. ~ Some people are suggesting that they aren't getting clean cuts from it. This the first punch down tool I have every used, but from my experience it seems to cut fine. I realized immediately the effectiveness of the cutting action is really dependent on how you hold the keystone jack and how sharply you punch the wire down. Initially I tried punching down against the wall, but after a practice round, I found it functioned better when I placed the keystone jack down on a flat hard surface like the floor. Half the time the wire would cut cleanly, and half the time it would score the wire to that a very light bend or touch would cause the end to fall away. Maybe if you are a network specialist and very experienced with a variety of punch down tools you would expect it to fully cut away the wires with no further intervention every time. But for me in my home...having to gently "pluck" the wires off after punching down seems fine. Cons: ~ it does feel like a cheaper tool. That is sort of an intangible concept, but you can tell when holding something in your hand by the mass and the solid feeling of it how well its made. This does feel a bit light and flimsy, but that sort of explains the low price. So I decided to not deduct a star for this. In summary, given that I will likely only use this tool one time while installing all my home network, the cost seems to justify the functionality and cheaper feeling of the tool. I would much rather spend $10 on a limited use tool than $50 for a professional tool merely for the convenience of not having to barely touch the wires after punching down to get them to fall away. I am a very satisfied DIY user.

I have used this for years but now the blade is dull.** A: Just type 110 blade, there should be plenty **Q: Can someone explain why there is a pictogram of scissors on both sides of the tool near the blade? I don't get it.** A: The scissors pictographs indicates the cutting blade. Look for the chisel side of the blade, that is the side that cuts the wire when punching in the wire to the 110 slot. There should only be one cutting side.. if both blades are chiseled, then return it.. **Q: just purchased this and its not cutting the wire. its punching fown but the wire is left half cut. what am i doing wrong?** A: If the wire is sitting properly down, then you aren't doing anything wrong. The cutting edge on this tool is very poor, again it's not the best tool out there. With that being said you can flip the cutting edge around so that the flat side is sitting flush with the keystone or punch block and then slowly use it to cut the wite more flush. You can also grab a craft razor blade and that will cut the wires right off. Good luck! **Q: Will this work with leviton quikport cat6 and cat5e jacks?** A: Yes it will work with most 110 style punch downs. You might want to consider a jack punch down block to hold the jack in place while terminating the wire ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worthy Tool *by L***S on April 8, 2026* Worked perfectly. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good tool for the home user, probably not professional quality *by S***E on August 27, 2014* I was torn with this item whether to rate it 4 or 5 stars.

It’s easy to use and looks cheap but gets the job done. After 3 years or so my bag got wel on the bottom and it rusted the release for the bit, that made it fall out but other then that it was still working. This is good for everyday but I would say it’s good to have this as a backup or spare in case for some reason you left your punch down somewhere and you have this one on hand to get the job done. ## Frequently Bought Together - Cable Matters 110 Punch Down Tool with 110 Blade, Ethernet PunchDown Tool, Keystone Punch Down Tool for Cat 8, Cat 7, Cat 6A, Cat 6, Cat 5e, Cat 5 Network - Cable Matters [UL Listed] 10-Pack 10Gbps Cat6 Keystone Jacks, RJ45 Keystone Jack, Ethernet Keystone Jack in White for Patch Panel and Wall Plate - Cable Matters 100-Pack Cat 6 Pass Through RJ45 Connectors (Cat 6 Ends / Cat6 Connector / RJ45 Modular Plugs/Ethernet Plugs/Network Connector) for Solid or Stranded UTP Ethernet Cable --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.de/products/2593081-cable-matters-110-punch-down-tool-with-110-blade-ethernet](https://www.desertcart.de/products/2593081-cable-matters-110-punch-down-tool-with-110-blade-ethernet) --- *Product available on Desertcart Germany* *Store origin: DE* *Last updated: 2026-04-24*
