Specialize Tool (Stand) to Hold Keystone Jacks for Punch DownSui Lin Chee
Reviews seem for a variety of products sold by Amamax. This review is for the Keystone Punch Down Stand. I've used the Stand for about 15 Cat 6 keystones (Monoprice.com type) - since keystones (whether Cat 5e, Cat 6, F-type) are standard & interchangeable size, it shouldn't matter which is the manufacturer.For Cat 6, use the middle pattern hole -- insert keystone with front towards the top clip that holds it in place (the clip holding down the keystone) - - insert cable through the tunnel from the keystone rear & punch down each 8 wires - - when finished, remove keystone from the pattern hole by inserting a finger through a hole from the bottom to push the keystone out of the top holding clip. It's all plastic so don't force anything, but when done properly, the keystone should be seated well, the clip keeping it within the pattern hole, and removal fairly easy by inserting finger from the bottom.Having done 5 keystones without the stand, and then 15 with the stand, it's worth the $6 for what is a very specialized tool.Other specialized tools for home structure wiring include: a RJ-45 circuit tester, F-type cable continuity tester/tone; Jonard F-type cable connector insertion tool, and a 1-step F-type cable stripper (vs. a 2-cut stripper).

I've done many jobs without this handy little plastic thing, but I'll never do another one without it. CAT5/e CAT6 keystone jacks fit snugly in place and don't move. You can still see the side of the jack and the color codes so you can check your work. It's a good size to fit in your hand comfortably and hold in place while you punch the cables.If you have a punch tool, get this. You won't be sad.
Would definitely buy again!Outbreak
These keystone jacks arrived very quickly and I have not had a problem with a single one. Very easy and straight-forward to use, great quality, I'd definitely buy these again (and probably will soon).
Looks OK to meGunner
Items came very quickly. Clearly marked for the wiring so should not be a problem. I do recommend a metal tipped punch down tool because the plastic ones tend to break the deviders between the wires. Other than that I have not used these since they are spares for other future products.
does the job - good qualityzemzem
I first tried to build keystones by holding them in my palm, it creates quite a balancing act holding them as you coordinate the wires into the correct slot while using the punch down tool. Not too mention the possibility of punching down on your palm and cutting yourself. This tool helped a great deal by holding the keystones in their place, protecting my palm and increasing my productivity tremendously. It comes with three compartments (A,B,C) which confused me at first, since there was no instruction manual that came with the product. Apparently in US markets only the B compartment is used as its the standard for US keystone size. Otherwise, the tool is good quality, and I would recommend it if you have to punch down more then one keystone.
Great Inexpensive ToolRoger P.
For years I have been trying to hold the jack, the wire, and the punch down tool - good if you have three hands but most people don't.I found this little gem to be the best little helper for this type of work. It hold things in one spot so the punch down activity can happen effortlessly. Only thing I had to modify was, the stand was a bit light so I attached it to a pocket sized block of wood so now it does not slide around when I am using it. The order arrived a week ahead of schedule and was packaged to ensure no damage in shippment.I have purchased 2 more of these for other technicians and I expect to be buying more soon.
Why did I put off punchdown for so long?Shane Meyers
I have a number of ports in my house where CAT-5 has been run. For a long time, I would simply terminate the wire with an RJ45 connector in the wall, then use a keystone RJ54 coupler to expose a port to connect to. After the frustration of trying tool-less keystone RJ45 connectors, I decided to try punch down jacks. Wow, so easy to install.Simply place the wires in the proper slots in the jack, then press down using a punch down tool (I used B000KMFDZ0Why didn't I do punch down from the beginning?
Commercial Smercial, This Will WorkOrnot
Ya jam some wires in some slots, put the covers on, and stick it in a OnQ / Legrand WP3401BK 1Gang, 1Port Wall Plate, Black. Pretty simple. It works perfectly and holds the Cat5e jack in just fine. Comparisons to commercial grade, I personally don't get. But then again, I'm using this item in my home.
