Ideal Industries 35-485 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Does the Ideal Punchmaster II come with both 110 and 66 blades, or do I have to buy them separately?
Both blades ship with the tool. The Punchmaster II (model 35-485) includes a 110 blade and a 66 full blade, each with cut and no-cut options, so you can terminate patch panels, 110 blocks and 66 split blocks without buying a separate blade.
2) Can I punch down without cutting off the wire tails?
Yes. The blades supplied with the Punchmaster II have cut and no-cut options for both the 110 and 66 termination types, so you can seat a wire that continues on to another position (a bridged 66 block run, for example) without severing it, then switch to the cut side where you want the tail trimmed flush.
3) Will this punchdown tool work on Cat5e and Cat6 keystone jacks and patch panels?
Yes, through the 110 blade. 110 is the termination style used on Cat5e and Cat6 patch panels, cross-connect blocks and most keystone jacks, and the Punchmaster II ships with that blade. The 66 blade covers older telephone split blocks in the same tool.
4) What does the high/low impact setting on the Punchmaster II actually change?
It sets how much force the spring releases on each stroke. Low is for lighter terminations, high for blocks and wire gauges that need more seating force. You adjust it before you start punching based on the block and wire gauge, which keeps you from over-driving thin conductors or under-seating heavier ones.
5) Is an impact punchdown tool like this better than a cheap non-impact punch for a full patch panel job?
For volume work, yes. A non-impact punch relies on your hand pressure, so seating depth varies and your hand tires after a couple of panels. The Punchmaster II uses a spring-loaded impact mechanism that releases the same force every stroke, plus a cushioned end cap that absorbs the recoil, which is what keeps terminations consistent across a 48-port panel. Non-impact tools still have a place for a single pair repair in a tight box.
6) Do the blades work loose or twist out of line during use?
The Punchmaster II uses a Turn-Lock blade holder: the blade seats and locks by turning, which keeps it retained and aligned through repeated impacts. Insert the blade fully into the holder and confirm it is engaged before you start, and it stays square over the wire slot.
7) What is the correct technique so I do not break the block or get a bad termination?
Seat the wire in the block slot per the wiring diagram, hold the tool perpendicular to the block face with the blade centered over the wire, then push straight down with firm steady pressure until the spring trips. Do not rock the tool or come in at an angle, that is what shears block teeth and leaves pairs unseated. Set high or low impact before you start rather than changing mid-run.
8) Is the Punchmaster II 35-485 suitable for daily use by a telecom or low-voltage crew, not just occasional service calls?
It is built for repetitive production work. The body grip surface and cushioned end cap are there to cut hand strain over long termination runs, and the tool is specified for telecom installers, data technicians and electrical contractors doing 110 and 66 block work in commercial buildings, data centers and campus networks.
