Punchdown tool doubles as screwdriver
The Punchdown/Screwdriver Multi-Tool from Klein Tools is an interchangeable device that comes with a 110/66 cut-style punchdown blade, both Phillips and slotted screwdriver tips, and hardware to convert to a nut driver or hex key.
Featuring machine-tooled steel bits, the Multi-Tool includes a bayonet-style twist-and-lock socket in the shaft that accepts most manufacturers' punchdown blades. It also has a cushioned handle, a heavy-duty blade barrel for internal bit storage, and the manufacturer's Tip-Ident feature, which provides for easy tool identification.
In all, the tool has nine configurations:
- 110 punchdown
- 66 punchdown
- Phillips #1 screwdriver
- Phillips #2 screwdriver
- Slotted 3/16-inch screwdriver
- Slotted 1/4-inch screwdriver
- 1/4-inch nut driver
- 3/8-inch nut driver
- 3/8-inch hex key
Dave Mueller, senior product manager for Klein Tools, said the company "created a custom VDV punchdown/screwdriver multi-tool for wall jack maintenance to address the specific needs and frustrations of the VDV installer and technician. This convenient all-in-one tool eliminates searching for and carrying up to three different tools to perform simple maintenance tasks."
The Punchdown/Screwdriver Multi-Tool is available through Klein Tools' usual distribution channels.
