Vertical Cable I-Punch Best CAT6 Keystone Punch Down Tool

In this video, I am going to show you the best CAT6 keystone punch down tool according to the Low Voltage Nation Facebook Group. Be sure to subscribe to the YouTube channel and smash the like button if you get value out of these videos.

Let me preface this with the fact each keystone punch-down tool fits specific keystones. It locks you into a specific vendor, which is fine because it forces you to standardize.

I will start with the runner-up with 17 votes: the JackRapid by Fluke. This punch-down tool has different models for Panduit, Leviton, etc. That certainly makes it appealing for those types of keystones.

First place at 50 votes is the Vertical Cable I-Punch tool that works with the V-max keystones.

It’s a solid and well-made unit that is becoming an industry standard. It’s my personal favorite and also has been widely adopted in the community.

One nice thing about the v-max keystones is that you don’t have to untwist because of the teeth in the keystone.

This is the best terminator I've ever used

Never used the V punch tool so I can't comment on that tool, we are primarily an AMP which is now Commscope installer and the SL tool they have is all I use now. I've had to use the Jack rapid and others for leviton jacks but the SL does such a clean tight termination and its so easy to use.
