Actually, there is an easier way to do it on CAT5 and maintain it's cat 5 rating on a 66 block.

That's not the way we do it. Read what I said:

If you just punch down CAT5 on a 66 block the way us telecom guys do it...

We mount the blocks with 89 brackets and bring the wiring from behind the block and out the sides of the bracket. The jacket gets stripped behind the block. Each wire get laced through its slot and into the clips in the same downward direction and cut on the bottom of each clip.

The CG way you still have to untwist the pairs. You remove a minimum of jacket and keep the twist right up to the clips. They go up and down and I'll be damned if I'm going to flip the tool for each clip. That would cost them an additional $10 per cable!
