Re: Punch Down tool size?

Its a Bix punchdown. The tool your looking for is made by Nordx. Its roughly 60 bucks I think. If your in a pinch a credit card edge will work. Ask me how I know!

Probably cheaper/easier to replace the jack with a BIX jack rather than buy the nordx tool... the nordx is becoming increasingly rare in actual installations in favour of BIX, and if you already have the BIX tool....

BIX = NORDX/CDT (Common in Canada)
110 = SYSTEMAX/LUCENT/AT&T (Common in US and at Big Box Home Stores)
