Yeah, I've used Siemon blocks, brackets, and clips. All work well, no complaints. They are more expensive though, and I don't do the buying around here. The only Siemon product that we consistently use is the Lasting Hinged Covers, White. I put them on when I install a system. Makes the next guy along (our techs, hopefully) much more aware of what's what. I try and label things pretty well so there's less mystery in what I've done.

I get the same thing, but I also find pins actually "hold on" to my blade.

Well the extra couple bux you spend putting in a "good" 66 block more than pays for itself in the agrevation and time it saves. We generally stock a box of blocks and brackets all the time. Another thing is that I think the new 66 punch down tools absolutely suck. My old punch tool has all the other tech drool because it's so smooth. I am going to cry when this thing dies.

I agree. Siemins or nothing when it comes to a 66 block. All of their products I have used over the years has been quality stuff. Can't ever remember even one failure or problem. I've always loved the AT&T, Lucent, Avaya products. Spendy, but ya get what you pay for........most of the time.

Why on earth are you guys using 66 blocks? Doesn't BIX exist down there?

BIX??? I haven't heard that name since I got away from the Fed Gov't work. Displacement sounds good BUT not a long term answer. They really hurled in SOC boxez.

Toner I don't think that Bix is used in the USA like it is up here.I wish I had a dollar for all the R-66 blocks I've thrown in the garbage.

Ya, those guys must be stuck in the dark ages. Same thing with Robertson screws, eh?

The closest we come to getting away from 66 blocks is when we use 110 blocks. I almost never encounter BIX stuff. To show you how rare it is, we have 1 BIX blade to share between 5 techs.
