Ratchet Cutters

The Slingco ACSR, CUAL, and Guy wire Ratchet Cutters are designed to cut hard cables cleanly and smoothly. The ratchet design provides leverage, increasing cutting force with each open and close of the handles. Makes cutting cable easier compared to manual cutters. The handles’ surfaces are designed to allow a firm, secure grip. The ratcheting action makes these cutters easy to operate even in limited spaces with just moderate pressure. Do not use on energized lines.

Hydraulic Crimper

Slingco’s Hydraulic Crimping Tools are designed to crimp sleeves and lugs on ACSR and ACAR transmission & distribution cables using dies that meet the standards of the utility industry. Our crimping tools are ideal for use in constructing substations and transmission lines. The Single-Acting Crimping Tool uses hydraulic pressure to advance the ram into position, and an internal spring to return the ram to the original position. The Double-Acting Crimping Tool advances and returns the ram using hydraulic pressure alone, eliminating the possibility of the ram sticking or becoming jammed. Our Hydraulic Crimping Tools come in a steel carrying case, and are lightweight and portable. Our crimping tools accept Slingco S60 Dies, or any shell-type dies used with Alcoa or Burndy 60-ton or 100-ton crimping tools.
