The BEST description of the use of these tools on KZfaq. Thank you.

Nine years later, still the best video on this on KZfaq.

I have just purchased a Krone tool for my home network and I was trying to figure out what all the little intricate bits were. I was totally lost.(Electrician by trade) Your video was a WEALTH OF INFORMATION. You were very CLEAR AND CONCISE with your explanation and description of the functions. To use LUMICIG's word" FANTASTIC". I have also now learnt things I didn't know existed about cabling connections - much appreciated. I am now revisiting all my "screwdriver" connections I have done around the house in the past.. Cheers, Dennis

I recently bought a bag of RJ-45 punchdown keystone jacks here in the states and couldn't figure out if they were 110 or Krone. Until I found your excellent video, I spent a lot of effort searching others that were an absolute and total waste of time. Many thanks for by far the most detailed, informative, and helpful video on the subject! Well done! Cheers!

Vince, you are amazing! Your delivery and your detailed explanations are top drawer...superb! If you aren't already, you should be a professional teacher/lecturer. You have given me the confidence to fit a completely new phone junction box - a job I have never done before and at 72, am a bit wary of tackling! I shall report back when finished. Thanks again for such an excellent video.

Excellent video. Just brushing up before I re-do our master socket to remove the pesky alarm dial-out. Have done this before, but never really knew about the various functions of the Krone tool. Now I know. Thanks!

Thank you! Now I understand what Krone connections are. I appreciate your talk on the topic very much!

This video answered all my questions and uncertainties. Big Thank You!

About to punch down a small office's jacks and patch panels and this was great. I had 50% of the knowledge and this cleared up a couple of things. Thanks, buddy!

8:04 I use this spudger to open the wall sockets easier, its just the right size to just tip it out without damaging the cover.

Yusss! Excellent. Acquired a Krone tool years ago and will finally get to use it next week. Now I've learned what the sensor is and why I might want to turn off the scissors. Cheers fella.

Thanks Vince. I've just started collecting tools and materials together to put networking in to my house. And i just purchased the Krone tool. I had no idea what the senor was for and the extra tools. This will help me a lot.

Best video I’ve found on this subject. Thank you, good sir.

Many thanks for confirming the patch panels I have here use modified 110 blocks that are OK to use with my (genuine) Krone tool - you saved me the £6 for a 110 tool.

Many thanks, I have looked at 6 other videos on Krone tools and yours is the only one that explained the what the wire clip does on my middle of the road Draper tool. Great set of videos. I am replacing the quadraplex plate in my living room to remove the return TV feed, now that I have moved to Sky Q and I am changing the telephone slave socket at the same time as its top clip is broken, (Euro module). I may make a video on how to do it.

Ive been looking for ages for a sensible explanation of this. Fantastic.

i am subscribed and i find the info very helpful. two things besides the point. don't bring the object up and down so fast, the focus of the camera can't follow you at the same speed. also the cameraman has trouble trying to follow you with very little cue. second, with a flashlight directed to the lens of the camera makes it almost impossible to see what you are trying to show.

Mate you are fantastic, thanks very much for taking the time to make such a detailed and comprehensive video. Explained all the little details and kept it interesting for 20 minutes. Off to do my first telephone line extension to another room in the house now. All the way from Australia :)

A great and comprehensive treatise on the punchdown tools and their use!!

Thank you for telling me everything! Superb!

Your little brother on the camera has me laughing

The 'flat blade' tool is used to detach the clips at both ends of a 237 Krone strip in order to remove it from the metal back-frame.

Thanks for video, helped a lot. Wired socket all over my house now :D

thanks champ. beautifully explained.

Very clear and comprehensive explanation! Thanks a lot, I'm subbed :)

Very clear explanation.

That was very helpful. Do you have a video on how to turn a telephone network (using unshielded 8 core, 4 twisted pairs) into an ethernet LAN without removing the wires? Challenges: 1) identifying and keeping one line as the telephone access line; 2) converting the wall plugs into LAN ports; 3) re-tasking the patch board as a LAN Patch board. Other considerations type of network, ring, star, bus, etc.

Great info. Thanks from Costa Rica.

The "sensor" on the Krone tool is for terminating a second wire on top of an existing wire on the same input on the socket. For terminating a single wire leave it in the "down" position. If you want a second wire on top of an existing termination put the sensor in the "up" position.

super helpful! thank you for the info

excellent explanation thank you

Fascinating - very helpful - great presentation skills

Thanks for your clear explanations! Regards from Chile.

I learned so much. Thank you! Fantastic video!

Well presented and explained. Thank you.

Thanks...buddy...very nice and to the point...you made it easy...

Very useful video, thank you!

Great instructional video mate!

Nice explanation !thank you !

great informative video, shocking camerawork lol

Excellent video. Thanks.

Yep. You The man Vince.

Excellent video, thanks!

Good information in this video, but the camera work was pretty bad.

Nicely done... ordered the tool from your ebay shop as a thanks.

Very helpful, thank you!

Great video, good explanation, thanks!

great video!

"Spread that metal V"... Sounds like something Bender from Futurama would say. Lol.

Nicely explained! thanks!

That switch on my Krone-Tool Clone has been driving me crazy... Thanks for explaining it to me. :-D (Also: are they not called LSA tools too?)

Great one. Thanks!

Hi Vince, thanks for this helpful video, looks like I have the wrong tool. lol. I got the yellow 110 tool as part of a network kit (tester,crimping tool & the yellow punch down thing) Trying to terminate a cat 7 flat cable to the socket, followed the colour codes on the Cat 6A socket and I used the yellow 110 to push in but wasnt sure but seeing your clip I can see the connectors are krone so I have just got a krone tool on route now. Can I just punch down with the krone tool although I have tried already? or do I need to take it all out and cut the wire back again? Thanks for all your help

Great video, thank you.

... the other side of the Krone tool, that blade is there to help if you are working on Krone telephone frame to remove one or more connection module (otherwise known as connector block) from the frame.. otherwise an informative videoclip

Lord in heaven that camera operator. I’m guessing it’s your wife

Excellent thank you!!

Great video; very informative...So is what your calling the Krone connection the same as the Americans call a "66"? Also, I take it a BIX is something different again?

Thank u ...thank u....thank u :)

Why nobody ever explains why you don't need to strip the ends of the wires you are punching down. How unstripped wire with insulation is going to make contact?.

Fuck I just puched down a bunch of krone keystones with a 110. I knew something was up when I some of the wires where not seating correctly.

Krone use first --- too. Later they change to the 45° cross angle. The 100% connect arrive faster, specially if you use 2 cable same size. We name in Germany the first LSA and the second LSA+. The patent of this hold the company Krone till yet. The china punch down tools are not so bad, they are cheaper as the orginal only. What you thinking where the company Krone let produce her own tools - only in Austria with 20% tax or in P.R.C.? The small punching things land into my waste box quickly - most of them works ten times only before they make fake connects. The U.S. connectors are older, they know them since the 60's, they are longer and starts in the telephon business first. The most european companies follow the Krone standard, I hope the UK will not change in 2017! Let the U.S. make her own mistakes the next 8 years - good for all European Standards.

It's one louder, isn't it? It's not ten. You see, most blokes, you know, will be playing at ten. You're on ten here, all the way up, all the way up, all the way up, you're on ten on your guitar. Where can you go from there? Where? I don't know. Nowhere. Exactly. What we do is, if we need that extra push over the cliff, you know what we do? Put it up to eleven. Eleven. Exactly. One louder. Why don't you just make ten louder and make ten be the top number and make that a little louder? These go to eleven.

Howdy. Is that an Abilene Texas accent? You should wear a cowboy hat to be more authentic. Durned good explanation partner. Git'r done bro. Here in the U.S.A. BICSI lists knowledge about the Krone Lötfrei [Solderless] Schraubfrei [Screwless] Abisolierfrei [No insulation removal] (LSA) punch downs as required to obtain their Installer certification. Ain't never seen one til watching your video. Gracias amigo. - 45 degrees off from 66- and 110- Insulation Displacement Connector (IDC) cross connects. Yeah? - allow stranded wires to be punched down. Yeah? - hybrid. cool. Yeah?

Slower than the second coming of JC
