| KRONE TOOL

| |
krone tool is a small hand tool used by telecommunications and network technicians. Its purpose is to terminate cable runs and cross-connect jumpers and patch panels. Most punch down tools are of the impact type, consisting of a handle, an internal spring mechanism, and a slotted blade. For light-duty use, there are also less expensive fixed-blade type punch down tools which lack the impact mechanism.
To use the punch down tool, a wire is inserted into a slotted post on a punch down block and the punch down tool is pressed down on top of the wire and the post. This requires a bit of pressure until, with an audible snap, the wire is stripped and contact made as it is inserted into the slotted post.
