Jonard Tools

From what I’ve seen it’s all foreign made stuff and mainly data industry tools
I have a pass through crimping tool from them. It’s no better or worse than anyone else’s. I suspect if you slap a different colored set of grips on it, its the same tool sold under 5 different company names.

not sure what to make of it.
it's been in the list for some time.
from the array of items, it looks to ME like they're outsourcing all that stuff, same as Jensen Tool, and repackaging it for tradespeople.

I've bought a few things of theirs from menards in the past few years. This magnetic wire pulling kit comes in very very handy, https://www.menards.com/main/electr...triever/mrs-24m/p-1642874268588792-c-6454.htm. It's cheap and have used it so many times where nothing else would work to fish wires. I have broke 2-3 of the ball chains, I just buy a new kit but I've been meaning to look into getting a spool of ball chain from somewhere so I can just cut another length off when it breaks. I have 3-4 of the flexible magnetic rods now so don't need to keep buying another kits.
I bought a ethernet cable tester/mapper. I didn't have my nice one and was running a line under a house and in a suspended ceiling so just wanted to check it after terminating both ends, just for peace of mind in case there was an issue after hooking everything up. It was only about 20 bucks and seems pretty nice. It's also smaller then my good one so I keep it in my tool backpack now so it's always with me for simple checks.
Their tools seem like decent quality, especially for the money menards is selling them for. I haven't looked them up online but usually menards offers cheaper prices on tool brands like this. When I went to menards.com to get the link to the magnetic wire pulling set they show add to cart to see price. Usually this means they are selling them cheaper then they are allowed to.

I use Jonard tools every day. Most of it is specialty tools though. The few Jonard hand tools I have, have been okay. They seem to be Klein clones for the most part. Jonard is geared to the telecom industries more so than electricians.
