I think if you short a line you can hang up someone's phone.  If I'm playing with one line maybe I don't want to accidentally touch the others.  Also bare fibers are tiny, and sometimes a little plastic pick or spudger is helpful to manipulate them in a tray. I'm not sure if Chuck's installers will be playing with bare fibers though.

Never heard them called that, but I assume that’s the same as a spudger.  Keep it with your dikes and your butt set.

I’ve always had punch tools both 66 and 110, but never carried a spudger.  When removing wires from punch blocks, I just yanked them, or used needle nose.

It appears there is even a website spudgers.com which sells spudgers and claims they are cellphone repair tools.  Which is B.S. because spudgers were around long before cellphones existed.
