Are you using solid core cable or stranded?

Ensure your cable type matches the termination and be nice and positive with the punchdown tool. I can't terminate without pushing the tool down for 3 clicks. Likely done at the first one but the extra 2 are for certainty

The cables are all solid core, but the keystones don't appear to differentiate in any way (one is a screwfix spesh, the other is Rhinocable).

It may not help that my tool are super cheap & plasticcy. Punch down vinegar strokes it is.

Should be ok with solid. I think the issue comes from trying to use stranded cables as the copper teeth that bite the cable are likely to split the strands and make lose connections.
