Ideal Industries 35-473 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the IDEAL 35-473 probe pic and spudger used for?
It is a two-ended hand tool for voice and data cabling work. The pic end isolates and traces individual conductors in a bundle, and the spudger end seats or removes wires from punchdown blocks and IDC contacts. Typical use is at a 66 or 110 style block when you need to pull one pair out of a terminated group without disturbing the rest.
2) Does the IDEAL 35-473 punch down wire, or do I still need a punchdown tool?
You still need a punchdown tool. The 35-473 is a probe pic and spudger, meant for isolating conductors and for reterminating or removing wires at IDC contacts by hand. It has no impact mechanism and no 66 or 110 blade, so cutting and seating new terminations on a block is a separate tool.
3) Is the IDEAL 35-473 for electrical power wiring or for low voltage communications cable?
Low voltage communications. The tool is built for voice and data circuits, tracing individual conductors and working wires at IDC contacts. It is not a power tool and carries no insulated rating for live electrical work, so keep it on telecom and data jobs.
4) Will the 35-473 spudger help me remove a single pair from a punchdown block without recutting the others?
That is what the spudger end is for. It lifts and removes a conductor from a punchdown block or IDC contact, and the pic end separates the target conductor from the bundle first so you are working on the right pair. Useful for MDF and IDF moves, adds, and changes where the rest of the block stays live.
5) What part number should I order for the IDEAL probe pic and spudger?
Order IDEAL Industries 35-473. That is the manufacturer part number and the only model of this tool, so there are no length, size, or finish options to specify.
