Showerthought: I hit 40 terminations in one day last month and my forearms finally told me why the old timers warn you
Last month I knocked out 40 terminations on a single 66 block at a clinic remodel in Dayton, and around number 34 my punchdown tool started feeling like it weighed 20 pounds. My lead guy (guy's been doing this 22 years) walked by and said, "You're gripping too hard, your hands quit before your body does." I switched to a lighter spring tool and paced myself every 10 pairs, and the last six went way smoother than the first 30. Now I'm wondering how many of you have a set number where you call it and take a breather before your aim goes bad.
