Phone Service Tools.

I finally discovered how easy it was to drop a phone line on a house.

I'm looking for the "Special" tools. He had an allen wrench with a hollowed out center to get into the box.

And a double ended socket for the two different sized ports inside.

Any ideas where to buy?

Grainger, McMaster... either should have them.

It's a "tamper resistant "socket head .They also make tamper proof in torx drive .You can probabley find a set at most discount auto parts stores for that matter .

Perfect! Found both at Mcmcaster. Have to find the right size of the allen though, no biggy.

Thanks!

Meh... the whole set is cheap enough, and you can use them on regular hex.

Glad I could help.

I used to work for a utility company and a ped wrench was a tool that we all had. It is the one with two ends for getting into the phone pedestals. I still have mine and haven't used it in almost 15 years. If you want it, it's yours. Just let me know if you are interested and I can mail it out.

Love it when this stuff happens like this here.

I appreciate that offer! I have to place an order with mcmastercarr anyways, and it's only a $12 tool. Thanks though.
