A cable puller is a tool used for securing and pulling cables or wires, particularly in cable replacement, repair, or rewiring tasks. They are widely used in various applications, including wiring installations for machinery and equipment in factories and plants, electrical work, automotive and aircraft repairs, as well as wiring tasks at construction sites.
There are two primary mechanisms for cable pullers: claw-type and crimp-type. The claw-type mechanism involves the use of claws to firmly grip and pull cables, while the crimp-type mechanism requires crimping before pulling. Each mechanism is suitable for specific tasks, offering distinct advantages. In both cases, the claws or crimps securely hold the cable in place, and the operator can efficiently pull the cable by turning a lever or handle.
Using a cable puller ensures that cables are held securely, enabling safe and efficient operations. These tools also facilitate the extraction of cable ends or coverings without causing damage, and they are available in various sizes to meet diverse requirements in the market.
