What do you use to install the "caps" onto the 110 block. We've find a big hammer seems to work, but that just seems "wrong" to me.
Never blame on malice, what can be adequately attributed to STUPIDITY!!

Assuming youre not baiting anyone with a joke; try a 110 blade.

The 5-pair punch tool is designed to cut and seat the wires on the block itself and also to seat the actual clip itself. It provides sufficient impact to seat it properly. Don't use it on the top side connections though, only use a standard 110 blade for that or you will damage the connections underneath.

I do hope you're joking. The job I'm on now, the "chiclets" were seated with a hammer and we've had unending grief ever since.
Use the 5 pair punch tool. Nothing else.

I agree with the above comments. Always use a 5 pair punch tool. Never under any circumstances use a hammer you are asking for nothing but trouble when you do that.

I have tried using a hammer once in frustration...since I don't have the 5 pair tool.

If you don't have a 5-pair punch tool, use TWO punch tools, set to High impact, one on each end of the module.

Not really. I have cut down 1000's of pairs on 110 blocks and have used nothing more than the flip side of a 110 blade and a standard issue blue/yellow harris/dracon punch tool. Firmly punched on pins 3, 6 (c4) or 3,8 (c5) is all that needs to be done. I went through two 5 pair tools in 6 months and have not used one since. Been about 12 years now and only recently retired my D814, not because of the pounding it took from my palm, but i dropped it and cracked the casing. If memory serves correct, I thought there was a count down on the number of impacts the 5 pair tool had before it died.

Glad it worked for you. I still recommend using the 5 pair tool.

Lifetime warranty on that 814 - Call and get an RMA, but don't send the blades!
