I am looking for proper punch down tool for sata power connectors like these: https://www.moddiy.com/products/SATA-Power-Crimp%2dOn-Male-Connector-(Black).html. Most youtube videos show people jabbing these connectors with flat head screw drivers or similar. Is there a proper punch down tool for these? In ideal case something that will hold the connector and compress the wire into the bladed section. Looking for decent quality, not just cheap and ghetto.

Thanks ahead.

A telco style 110 tool will do the job. It is also used for telephone wall plate jacks and for RJ45 data jack wire terminations. Home Depot or any good electrical supply store will have it. They have a double sided blade. One side cuts the end of the when it terminates and the other does not (used when the wire must also go to another pin)

Good one is not cheap (home depot wants $54 you may be able to find it for less elsewhere)
