My tool of choice for most jobs is an SDS roto hammer with a chipping bit. Unless you have a steady hand, it's hard to seat the little wires in the jacks with one of those. I prefer the Dracon 814.

I like Harris/Fluke butt sets. You can get them just about anywhere...Graybar for one.

You won't regret buying Harris/Fluke for most tools. That combo holster is pretty handy (punchdown, snips, stripper, flashlight and sharpie.) I carry a 9' Gorrilla ladder, (it extends to 21' straight out) and it fits in my Chevy HHR. It's a bit heavy, but I rather carry fewer tools around (makes it easier to find stuff.) I carry a Palidin Powerplay, it handles all my plier needs and it's nice to have all those other built in tools on hand (I wouldn't use the 66 tool to punch down a 25 pair, but for a quick move it works good.) I always seem to loose those banjos, so I usually end up using a jack with cross connect hanging off

I did forget about the peanuts at Graybar!! They rock. I found a good pair of Crescent long nose pliers on ebay...skinny nose, crushing slot, very good price They work nice for pulling wire out of 66 blocks.
