Honestly, we just pull them all and tone them after. Seems just as fast. We have a Fluke cable tester that has 8 ID plugs and the probe tells you which one you touch so you can do 8 at once. At least I think that is how it works. Even if not toning is pretty fast way. We put a guy on each end and start toning and punching each end as they go.
