The Krone Type Punch Down Tool is a small screw-driver sized tool utilized by network and telecommunication wiring professionals. The tool consists of a handle with a spring mechanism inside and at the tip a small square piece of metal with a square hole in it.

To use the punch down tool, a wire is inserted in between the two metal blades on a punch down block, which is easily identifiable with its 45-degree angle. The punch down tool is pressed down on top of the wire and the two blades on the punch down block cuts away any excess wire cleanly.
