Works fairly well and is a lot easier than using a traditional punch down tool when terminating keystone jacks

I'm a geek with fairly extensive experience with coaxial networks and that probably helped somewhat, but I had never put cat6 jacks (keystone or otherwise) on Cat6 cable before. The above images are the result of using this product with one of their keystone jacks.For a first time users, it went extremely well. I only had a couple jack early on in the process that failed, always the blue pair with them (last pair I insert before punchdown) so I suspect that was my error.Some notes for others - things I did learn the hard way.To cut the Cat6 shielding, I used a tool from trueCable. You have to have the dial on it set just right so it only scores the Cat6 shielding or the blade can nick the wire pairs. The proper setting seems to very by Cat6 maker so practice first. Twist to finish breaking where it scored, save the empty tube.It probably doesn't matter if you use the T568A or T568B standard as long as both ends are terminated the same, but I always just use B because compatibility is 6P4C color codes doesn't matter to me.When untwisting a pair to lay it out in the jack, use the empty shield tube that you cut off. You can use your fingernail to start the separation, but then put the empty tube over one of the wires in the pair and it just easily separates the pair.When doing T568B I do the orange pair first, making sure the remaining Cat6 shield is very close to the back of the jack. Then I do the brown pair, then the green pair (same side as brown pair), then finally the blue pair (same side as orange pair).With one hand I hold the tool that does the punch-down and with the other, a hold the shielding of the Cat6 where it meets the keystone jack.After making the connection, I use a Klein Tools Scout Pro 3 to verify the termination is correct - and then insert the keystone jack in the plate and re-test. First few I made I had a high failure rate with blue pair but after the first few that stopped being an issue.Speed I'm getting during early AM hours when no one else is using the Internet maxes out the Internet connection, and sustained large downloads work well, so this tool with the matching jacks seems like a good combination.Sorry for being somewhat long-winded but there doesn't seem to be a good instructional video for this specific tool, so I thought I'd share my experience using it for the first time as a n00b.

Works great! Proprietary components aside, this tool works really well.

Very easy to punch. I have always used Cable Matters stuff and this time I need them faster and ordered Everest stuff for a dental office and they worked out really well. I was able to punch almost 20 cables in less than an hour using Everest tool and expect 2 all of them worked in first go. I would highly recommend this brand.

Great Product
