Product review
This listing is for a single extended-reach 110 replacement blade designed for impact punchdown tools. The blade is manufactured using metal injection molding (MIM) to provide a precise, wear-resistant cutting edge that both seats and trims conductors in one motion.
The blade features a bayonet-style twist-and-lock shank for quick, secure insertion into compatible punchdown handles. Its longer shaft gives extra clearance, letting you access connections in crowded patch panels, active blocks, or recessed jacks without disturbing adjacent terminations.
Intended for use with Klein’s Impact Punchdown Tool (model VDV427-300), the blade is also compatible with most punchdown tools that accept bayonet/twist-lock 110 blades. The design maintains standard 110 termination geometry while extending reach and improving hand clearance during operation.
Materials and construction: MIM steel cutting tip for longevity, plated shank for corrosion resistance, and a precision fit to minimize wobble in the socket. What’s included: one extended-length 110 MIM replacement blade (twist-and-lock bayonet style).
Use it to punch data and voice wiring into 110 panels and blocks, completing termination and trimming in one pass. The extra length is particularly useful when working around live, pre-terminated connections or inside dense racks where space is limited.
Klein Tools continues a long tradition of toolmaking and supplies professional hand tools for field technicians; this replacement blade is built to meet the expectations of demanding network and telecom work.
Pros
- Durable MIM cutting edge
- Extended reach for crowded panels

If you need reliable cutting and extra reach for cramped networking work, this is a

Well made and straightforward — the twist-and-lock installation is intuitive and it gets into cramped spots without fuss.

Must-have for crowded panels
Installed it on my Trendnet punch tool and the tip cleanly trims excess wire. The longer blade reaches into packed patch panels and recessed jacks easily.

Samuel Garcia 5/5
Broad compatibility
Works with many punchdown handles from major brands that take 110 bayonet blades. Gives better reach so the handle sits further back for a more comfortable grip.

Great access
Handy for tight, awkward spots where a regular blade can't reach.

Practical upgrade
The extension lets you guide with one hand and punch down with the other. It also keeps the tool more visible in my pouch and helps re-terminating jacks already installed on panels.
