These kits are designed to make your fiber optic work more efficient and streamlined. Let's dive in and take a look.

First, let's see what's inside both of these kits. A buffer tube ringer for ringing tubes up to 6 mm in diameter. A cable slit and ring tool. The ever popular round cable strip and ring tool part number CST-1900. Our LED flashlight with zoom lens. A wire stripper for 10 through 22 gauge wire. Our wiring kevlar cutting shears part number JIC-186. An insulated probe pick. A pair of high leverage diagonal cutting pliers 8 inches in length. One of our most popular tools, the three-hole fiber optic stripper, part number JIC-375. A pair of longnose and side-cutting pliers. An ergonomic cable splicing knife. Two micro duct cutters, part numbers MDC-14 and MDC-28 with maximum duct diameters of 14 in and 28 in, respectively. a total of four bitspan slit and ring tools with sizes ranging from 1.2 millimeters to 12 millimeters. And last but not least, a 6in-1 multi-bit screwdriver with Phillips and slotted bits. Now, let's have a look at your options for carrying these tools. TK-179 comes with a tool case with 21 pockets and a removable top and shoulder strap. And the TK-179B features a backpack that has 48 pockets, a laptop/t sleeve, and a hard plastic water-resistant bottom.

Both of these kits are top-of-the-line when it comes to fiber optic preparations. The TK-179 with the tool bag is perfect for those who want a compact and durable option, while the TK-179B with the backpack offers more flexibility and comfort on the go. If you're looking to upgrade your fiber optic tool kit, these are the tool kits for you.
