Use the proper tool, a mallet.... seriously?
If I hired a sub to terminate 110 and I saw them using a mallet, they would be gone before they got to the next cable.
Please don't take my answer as disdainful, I just don't see the point in doing something if you don't have the correct tool. You can get away with using a standard 110 tool if you put a little shoulder behind your punch, but I would save that for the one offs here and there. If you do more than a dozen of these then you need the cannon tool.
