You, too, can crush like the pros, with our developed-for-the-Bell-System long nose.
It's a big time-saver when you're installing jacks or other hardware with screw terminals, because you don't have to stop to look for the tiny stripping hole; and there's no chance of cutting into the fragile copper.
The narrow blades fit into tight spaces, but have much more strength than needle nose tools.
6 Inches long. Crushes insulation on 22 to 24 AWG wires (NOT FOR THE OUTER JACKET). Hot-riveted joint. Curved plastic-dipped handles. Built to last, by Jonard -- the biggest maker of telecom pliers in the US. Fully warranted by the manufacturer against defects in workmanship or materials. Chief Geek Michael is still using one of these he bought in 1992.
The gentleman in the photograph is Reggie "Crusher" Lisowski, the wrestler who made Milwaukee famous.
