waster Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Need to get a decent Torque Wrench that accurate enough for tightening wire rope grips. What do people use and recommend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonathanhill Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 I recommend replacing the wire rope grips with bullets or socket wedges, in fact anything that does not use dogs at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DGreen Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 I agree with Jonathan - whenever we can we avoid using 'dogs' (wire rope grips). However if you absolutely have to you can't go wrong with the Halfords professional range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
waster Posted August 27, 2009 Author Share Posted August 27, 2009 I am using wedge sockets, but you need to put one dog on a wedge socket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonathanhill Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 The dog on a wedge socket is there to stop the wedge slipping if the weight coms off the piece the socket is attached to. This dog should only ever be attached to the dead end of the wire rope. edit:spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacet Posted August 28, 2009 Share Posted August 28, 2009 Call me old fashioned but this topic doesn't seem to be going anywhere... The op asked where he could get a tool to do a certain job, he wasn't asking for a discussion of the pros and cons of different termination methods... An example of the sort of response the op may have been hoping for could have been something like.... "you could try somewhere like cpc, they sell everything..." http://cpc.farnell.com/jsp/search/browse.j...rench&Ntx=/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
