Jonard Tools® has just released the list of the top tools for 2021. The 2021 Products of the Year list was compiled based on various criteria including how each product rated on innovation, ability to meet customer/industry needs, customer demand, and more. The list highlights 12 unique products made for technicians in industries and trades including, Telecom, CATV, Fiber Optic, Home Automation, Security & Alarm, and Electrical markets. Fiber optic technicians like Jasmine McCloskey rely on many of the tools on this list – including the line of Mid Span Tools, such as the MS-526 – on a daily basis. “I have used the MS Tools often on FTTH projects,” said McCloskey. “The multiple sizes are very useful when you’re out in the field. You don’t have to carry multiple tools for mid-span entry. These are compact enough that you can put them into your splice machine case or in your belt tool bag.” McCloskey adds that she also really likes, “the tab that secures the buffer tube, so it does NOT slip off or ‘jumps.’ It makes a smooth clean separation on the buffer. The arrow on this also makes sure you put it on correctly and pull in the right direction.” Find out which other favorite and must-have tools made the list.
