Replacement blade for 66-type punch-down tools

The Ideal 35-497 is a replacement blade designed for use with compatible punch-down tools. It features a 66 turn-lock configuration that secures it into the tool body. This blade is identified by model number 35-497 and is intended for terminating wires on 66-type connecting blocks.

Suits technicians maintaining 66-block installations

This blade fits the Ideal 35-487 punch-down tool and similar models accepting a 66 turn-lock blade. It is not suitable for technicians who require a reversible blade for different block types. Installers working exclusively with other block styles should look for a blade matching their specific tool and termination standard.

66 turn-lock blade configuration

The defining specification is the 66 turn-lock fitting that locks the blade into the tool. This interface determines compatibility with the 35-487 tool and dictates that the blade works with 66-type blocks only. Verify your tool accepts this fitting before ordering.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the 35-497 blade is working correctly after installing it in my punch-down tool?

After fitting the 66 turn-lock blade into the compatible 35-487 punch-down tool, perform a test termination on a 66-type block; a clean, secure wire seat with no loose strands shows the blade is functioning as intended.

What does the 35-497 package contain and is any additional hardware required?

The package includes the 66 turn-lock replacement blade only; you must already own or separately purchase a compatible punch-down tool such as the 35-487 model to use it.

Which blade version should I choose for a standard 66 block termination job?

Select the 35-497 blade with 66 turn-lock configuration; it is designed specifically for 66-type blocks and fits the 35-487 punch-down tool, while other blade types target different block styles.
