Review: Great tool - Well for those of you wanting to know some instructions for this great tool as none are suplied I thought I would add some basic instrutions in my review. I set up a Cat6 network in my home and found this tool a little complicated at first sight. Yet after researching punch down tools on the web found it very simple and efficient. There are a few settings yet I only found 2 that I needed for installing the cable into the face plates. The first is the sissor action which its used to snip the cable whilst punching the wire down into the socket, to enlighten the non sissor action, this is if you are only running one cable into a twin faceplate, this enables you not to snip the cables on the first punch down and extend the cable into a second fixing on the same face plate. Thus giving you the opportunity to have two working ethernet sockets on a single cable. If you are using four ports from the router or desktop switch yet you are like me having more hardware than ports then this is a great way to utilise the connections. I have a PS3, DLNA tv on just one port cable in the lounge, another PS3 in the dining room with the main PC utilising just one of the other ports totaling two used ports from my router.(By doing this only enables one device i.e the PC or PS3 to used at one time, only having one tv for both I can only access one at a time, Running two cables from the router would gives access to both simultaneously) This leaves two ports free on the router under the stairs, one is now occupied with a Western Digital Live 1TB for all the other hardware to share and back up. I still have one gigabit port free for a later installment yet havent found the need to use it yet. This way I do not need an added port switch to access as much hardware. So this tool works a treat. There is a blade to push the wire into positon and a hook to pull the cable out if needed. If you are wondering to strip the wires then the answer is NO, when the wire is pushed down in the socket there are to connecting blades that pierce the cable for connection. Later I might need to add an unmanaged port switch to my router but up till now this punch down tool has saved me alot. Hope this helps.
Review: Seems fine so far - Originally I had a proper, KRONE branded tool. It was brilliant. Solid, reliable, everything you would expect from the KRONE brand. Sadly, others felt the same way, and it was never returned to me after being borrowed. I needed a replacement, so I went desertcart shopping and found the Draper. Now normally I wouldn't entertain brands like this, but having physically compared it to my old KRONE, it looked like it was just a rebranded one. I took a gamble, buying the 8 quid tool instead of the 40 quid plus tool, and to my amazement, it seems as good as the KRONE. You have to remember though, that this is the first time its been used, and after many hours of use, my opinion may change should the workings of the tool not continue as it is now. Bare in mind, I had my KRONE branded tool for around 8 years before it vanished. I guess only time will tell, and if it lasts half as long as the KRONE, its earned it place in my toolkit. Yo produce a tool that sells for 8 quid, compared to the other brand, there has to be some limitation on quality. So lets see just how great it is. I may, or may not edit this post in a few months.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Better than the usual noname
*by C***R on 22 July 2017*

This is better than the no brand tools (especially those that come in a set with lots of other bits), but still feels light in your hands. The blades are a bit more sturdy and the metal pop out tools are less likely to twist out of shape if you twist them in your fingers. Despite another comment on here the flat tool isn't really any use as a screwdriver. It will just about cope with nice smooth box screws for cabling patress boxes but it's a bit too flimsy for anything that is tight, it will twist in the plastic housing with minimal effort and it's not a nice shape in your hands to actually turn. Much better to have a decent pair of screwdrivers in your pocket at the same time. It is much more use for splitting / pushing cables around - but it's still fiddly - still much better to have that pair of decent screwdrivers in your pocket and use this as a specialised puch tool. This has the standard two tools for pushing / grabbing cables back out, plus a twist button in the middle that stops the punching action (so you can push the cables into the modules without chopping them off) plus a bracket behind the punch that lets you push an existing cable further home with a steel wire in the jaws - again without engaging the choosing action of the cutters. I've used a few of these tools, and as also commented on here , the nuts and bolts work their way loose and eventually one fall out & then you're finished. This is better made than some , and the ability to stop the punch / reseat cables is a benefit, but it isn't going to last a lifetime. The screws were noticeably less 'tight' after about 5 shots... For what they cost this isn't a huge step up in price for a better tool. Swap out the noname one and use this until it packs up.
