I hope I never have to use a butterfly tool again!  And I don't miss running 25pr or 50pr just for one phone either!

Well, since I am installing a 1A2 system in my home and future building, I really kinda needed one...
All part of the "Roosterville Phone Company" experience! (sorta like the phone system in the old TV sitcom, Green Acres. I am the 'el Presidente'!)

I've never had the experience of putting an Amphenol connector on...guess I'm not missing much.

We used to have to solder all amphenols back in the 60s. Strip and tin everything.

Here's another one. https://cgi.ebay.com/AMP-MI-1-Porta..._Equipment_Tools&hash=item2c5abdfda4 There have been times that I could have used one of these tools, just to save a bunch of slack and/or connection points stuffed in the overhead.

I've used those small blocks from Ed in my 1A2 system at home...I like them a lot. I too wonder if he has any more?

I dont miss lugging around full spools of 25 pair either , a box of 4 pair is much more better I sold both of my amp tools back when they where still bringing decent money
