110 Punch Down Tool for Network Cabling

The Klein Tools AM-918B is a spring-loaded impact tool designed to terminate cables on 110-style blocks. It suits electricians and network installers who need reliable connections on telephone and high-speed data lines. A cushioned ABS handle provides a non-slip grip for comfortable, repeated use.

Replaces Manual Punching and Single-Setting Tools

This tool upgrades from hand-pressing wires or using a fixed-force punch by adding selectable HI and LO impact settings. Choose LO for 24AWG conductors typical of Cat5e and HI for 23AWG conductors found in Cat6 or Cat6A. The twist-and-lock bayonet socket accepts most manufacturers' blades, so you can keep existing blade inventory.

Sustained Use with Integrated Storage and Pickers

An internal spring delivers consistent kinetic force for fast, low-effort seating across long cable runs without operator fatigue. A rugged frame includes a storage compartment in the body for one spare blade. Two swing-out tools — a spudger/cable hook and a conductor removal hook — stay attached for immediate access during extended termination sessions.
