Wire Sleeving Installation Tools

For Corrugated and Wraparound Sleeving

For Spiral Wrap

Sleeving


For Corrugated and Wraparound Sleeving	For Spiral Wrap Sleeving

Save time installing sleeving around wire, cable, and hose. These tools are especially helpful for installing long lengths of sleeving. Safer than installing sleeves by hand, they also keep you from touching its sharp edges.

For Corrugated and Wraparound Sleeving—Tools for corrugated and wrap-around sleeving use a zipper-like motion to close the sleeving around your components. Route your wire, cable, or hose through the tool, twist the tool to secure the item you're wrapping, then wedge the grooved insert on the tool into the sleeving. As you drag the tool along the sleeving, it will close around your components.

For Spiral Wrap Sleeving—Tools for spiral wrap sleeving open the spirals for you, saving you the effort of pulling apart spirals, which can be difficult. Rotate the tool around your components until the sleeving is completely installed.

Changeable-Tip Packing Seal Puller Sets

Sets include an assortment of handles and tips for pulling material out of tight spots. Replace tips when they become worn or to use a different style. Also known as packing extractors, they are often used to extract packing material from pump and valve seals.

Corkscrew tips twist into material for a firm hold.

Wood screw tips are used to drill into and remove hardened packing when corkscrew tips are unable to get a secure hold on your material.

Machine screw tips thread into tapped holes. They're good for removing stuck or seized metallic components that can't be gripped easily.

Brush tips have stiff bristles that clean debris out of cavities after material has been pulled out with a screw tip.

Flexible Shaft—Flexible-shaft pullers bend to access material in tight spots.

Pry Bar—Sets with pry bars give more leverage for pulling and packing.

Nonsparking Packing Seal Pullers

Made of beryllium copper with an aluminum-bronze handle, these pullers satisfy OSHA requirements that specify nonsparking tools for locations where flammable vapors and combustible residues are present. They also are nonmagnetic. The corkscrew tip twists into material to provide a firm hold while the handle provides the necessary leverage for pulling. Also known as packing extractors, they are often used to extract packing material from pump and valve seals.

Warning: Do not use these tools in direct contact with acetylene.
