For years I have been trying to hold the jack, the wire, and the punch down tool - good if you have three hands but most people don't.I found this little gem to be the best little helper for this type of work. It hold things in one spot so the punch down activity can happen effortlessly. Only thing I had to modify was, the stand was a bit light so I attached it to a pocket sized block of wood so now it does not slide around when I am using it. The order arrived a week ahead of schedule and was packaged to ensure no damage in shippment.I have purchased 2 more of these for other technicians and I expect to be buying more soon.
