Compression Sleeve removal

[Electriceel]

Was wondering what tool most of you like for cutting parallel groove compression sleeves off of the main conductor.

[graybeard]

Are you talking about tension sleeves or sqeeze ons for jumpers? We have a tool for cutting off sqeese ons and I'll look for the manufacturer tomorrow.

[Electriceel]

Will be for squeeze ons for jumpers.
Be the WR series by Blackburn, we have conductor from #4 ACSR up to 556 ACSR.
The one we had that is just older than dirt would work up to 4/0 ACSR.

Thanks

Hey Electricaleel

I Use A Md-6 Tool To Get Squeeze On Off.just Take Out The Dies Out And Use The Middle Part To Cut The Wr Off.work Good Up About 4/0.but Sometimes It Is Just As Easy To Cut The Wire Out.

For Auto-sleeves You Can Cut Them In Half And They Come Off.
Good Luck And Stay Safe.

The one we have is a Kearney and it goe's to 795 you have to change the the head for 4/0 and up.A few pumps and they are off. Works great.

[Electriceel]

Our old one that is no longer useable or repairable was Kearney also, for the last I have been reassured that they are going to come out with a new model. So far no one knows what I am wanting.
What model or mfg. # is yours??

[graybeard]

The only # I could find on it is 1zt that is on the head piece. Can't find a catalog at work but I'm going to search the web.

Kearney WH3 can get 12'',18'',24'' handles
cut off#6 to 4/0 100024
cut off 4/0 to 500 100026
You can also get a verity of die sizes for the same tool
Hope this helps
