1A sledgehammer? Those look a bit like some where the "punch tool" is built into the cover. – PlasmaHH Jul 14 '16 at 10:51

1A Krone tool? May be other brand names too. – winny Jul 14 '16 at 11:17

I've always know them as Krone, generic term is IDC (Insulation Displacement Connector). – John U Jul 14 '16 at 11:52

Does a standard .110 punchdown not work? I have jacks like that, and just use my normal punchdown too. – R Drast Jul 14 '16 at 11:55

This type of connector usually cuts the insulation by itself when you push the cover in place.
However, I've had non consistent results depending on whether the core of the conductors was solid or stranded. In some cases I ended up peeling the core before inserting.
