| CRANE-103104 | |
| NSWC Crane has developed, patented, and fielded a hand tool for loosening and tightening cable connection. When tightening the cable connectors, the hand tool compresses the mating cable sections and creates a seal between them. The hand tool prevents over torqueing the connection and is small enough to be used in confined spaces where wrenches are unable to fit. Advantages - Can be used in small, confined areas where tools with long handles may not fit - Prevents over-torqueing of cable connections - Easy to use with slick hands and/or in poor conditions such as rain Potential Applications - Ship yards - Applications where assistance securing cable connections is needed such as garden hoses - Assistive device for persons with arthritis or other needs |
