All I want is the Pick! Milwaukee 4-in-1 Multi-Pick Tool: Spudger, Phillips, Slotted, & Unique Pick

If you're punching down keystone Jacks, 66 or 110 blocks, you can use the spudger to initially seat the wires before you punch them down. The pick would be good for situations where you punch down a wire and you land it in the wrong spot. You can grab the wire and pull it out of its location. Or if you cut the wire first, you can remove the scrap so you can start over.

100% what this tool was designed for.

[@brianlevin6892]

This is a correct answer. I punch down 66, 110, and BIX blocks for work. We call this tool a wire hook. It is used for helping seat and remove 22-28 gauge telecom wires, jumpers, and CAT cables. The spudger end is used for seating and manipulating the cable before punching it down. The hook is used for removal. The sharp part of the hook is used for scraping out stuck bits from the block such as pieces of the jacket from the jumper that get stuck in the block. I use a Klein VDV327-103. I am not sure I would want to use the Milwaukee. I would not want to have to stop while I am punching down to have to unscrew and flip the tool.

Ya thats a data tool

[@JohnW118]

@@brianlevin6892 as a retired 25-year retired telecom engineer I agree with you. A proper spudger is essential. You need both ends at-the-ready working on a punchdown block.

[@boardsblades]

$5 says they designed it like this so people would buy multiples and keep each end at the ready...

[@michaelkalbfleisch4492]

The pick and spudger are for telecom 66 blocks, Ethernet jacks and patch panels, etc. after you punch down a patch panel or crimp a jack you might find a pair cross connected. The pick is small enough to get into a jack or block to remove an individual pair or cross connect wire.

“Lifetime Warranty” 😂😂 I learned my lesson with those. In 1990’s law enforcement we carried these small, flat, clip-on lights called the ASP Sapphire light made by ASP, Inc. They supposedly had a lifetime warranty. Well one stopped working so I bought another and then another. When the three were dead I called ASP and asked how I would go about getting them repaired or replaced. The customer-no-service lady told me they stopped making this light so they were no longer covered by warranty. Well I argued my case about “lifetime warranty” and I could tell she was annoyed by me but she relented and agreed to send me out three “new model” lights after receiving mine back. I eventually got the new ones that were basically the same lights, they must have figured out the flaw in the old ones, made upgrades and changed the model number, that way they could get out of their lifetime warranty.

[@gregblake2764]

You can use the hook end to take small springs on and off. 50 years ago I was a typewriter repairman and we used a tool very similar to this to work on typewriters and cash registers.

[@unmanaged]

I worked 8.5 years as a copier tech and I still have my spring hook ....

[@BBD-350L]

Ive taken small springs like this off using a very similar tool... An old crochet needle from my grandmother's sewing tin.... Works the same without the annoying cap or hefty price tag 😀

[@telecrate]

Klein has an identical wire pick without a cover, model VDV327-103

[@orlovszki]

You know that you pushed too much when you buy a tool you have no clue what it is for

[@timtimtimmay4654]

I could see this both useful in telecom for picking small wires out of a large cable bundle and punching them down or in the auto world of making just a large enough hole in a harness or loom to pick out the problem wire, repair it, and push it back in with minimal damage to the harness.

[@michaellindsay8934]

I can see a lot of different things I could do with that having large hands and trying to get a wire. Thanks Doc

Broadcast engineer hear 😎 that hook looks and seems like it would definitely be fore working punch downs on a punch block. Punch blocks are how all phone lines ran for the most part, digital and analog are still used today in radio and television broadcast. Punch blocks make epic tap, test, jump points to distribute signals or audio. That little blade edge would be perfect for cleaning up jumper ends past the Punch down. The hook would be perfect for removing analog or digital jumpers from the Punch point. Sure you could use an Xcelite "Greenie" or pliars but all punches are openly near each other and they are easy to short. The hook is absolutely the right size and look to remove punches down on Punch blocks without shorting any signals which would cause crosstalk.

[@mikeruhl]

'Broadcast engineer hear... ' Best pun I've heard all day

[@gnic76]

My guess is a terminal screwdriver, it having those specific bits and the pick might useful for removing network/telephone wire from punch down connectors and other things. 🤷‍♂️

[@terryclair2914]

It looks like you could use the pick for wire routing. Running new wiring with old often requires a pick to navigate cable ties or cable clamps.

[@TakashiAmanoOriginal]

You can adjust voltage on all multiquip 140kw gens and up and pull filter gaskets on all multiquip 55kw gens and up…it’s an amazing tool

[@maxlvledc]

Hand lotion and fingernail comments?? I get the same...seriously guys...its about tools...stay focused.

[@keggod76]

More of a tool for a communications technician, the spudger would be for the setting 22 - 24 ga. wire into a IDC block. The hook for pulling wire back out, the screw driver end for standard jack covers.

[@rayfujimori9833]

I work on vertical blinds. Will try it on taking off the star washer off the end cap. Looks like it will work as good if it doesn't break first.

[@BBD-350L]

When i need a pick like that i just go get one of my grandma's sewing needles ... They been using this same design for decades without the annoying cap.....lol

[@chillywilly7454]

It might be useful for fixing trailer plug-ins and wiring. Where I work I do a lot of that in the winter time.

[@unionse7en]

whats also reallyuseful is using a 90 degree (or more) pick to use as a scribe for marking some hard to access things.

[@ElectroAtletico]

For the TELCOM guys. The hook/pick side is interesting. The other side.....I'd throw away in a second.

[@DDB168]

The idea is ok, not sure it needs the screw drivers at the other end. The form factor seems a little big. I'm a bit iffy about this one, but thanks for bringing it to our attention.

[@itcanwait]

I had to rewind because I thought you said "The Muay Thai Pick Tool" and thought, that sounds way too cool for Milwaukee lol

[@remfj40]

Bought this tool, but don't know why or what it does. I can relate. :)

[@shadow7796]

I like it. I have bigger hands, and it would be extremely helpful sorting and pulling small wires in cramped spaces.

[@pspadotto]

Yup, looks a lot like a plastic punch down tool. If you're working in an old telco closet, that could be a handy tool.

[@paulmarsdensr1095]

A great video Sir. I would use gloves when using this tool. Happy holidays brother.

[@joeb2480]

It sure looks like the cap can fit on either end of that tool.

[@whiteb0rd]

Prices on this are all over the place, the Home Depot link you posted seems to be the best. Curious, what's the part number of the Klein pen tool you mentioned briefly?

[@OzMan9989]

Great for grabbing wires in a hard to reach birds nest

[@JohnSmith-cw3tp]

I wonder how it would be as a small spring removal tool.

[@mr.b.4048]

At £34.25 Amazon UK on the Milwaukee 4 in 1, I’ll pass.

[@waterlife.1905]

Thats pick is meant for carpenters with bad teeth after eating lunch.

[@haoau16333]

...❤👍

[@RedDragonNM]

I don’t like this video.

[@Realgrande]

Maybe you can crochet/knit a sweater with it?

[@JamesHanna-e3h]

It’s for data wires. The other guy said

[@sasukechidoree]

take creatine i dont think its as useful when your young but as you age it helps you more deeply hydrate and start studying food processed food dries you out by clogging up your circulation system
