Just borrow one from a friend/coworker.
There's always that guy.
I used to be that guy, and happen to have a couple of pretty complete networking toolkits. Just pay shipping both ways, and you can borrow one for as long as is reasonably needed. Punchdown tool, tone generator, tone finder, butt set, continuity tester, voltmeter, every little hand tool imaginable, etc.. Started collecting in the mid 70's, so some stuff is pretty old, but the wiring principles are still the same.... gotta love physics. May not be worth it if you just need a punchdown tool, but if you're gonna do some serious network wiring it's pretty much everything/anything you'd need.
