DOUBLE-ACTING TOOLS ARE BUILT TO PROVIDE SAFETY, QUALITY AND
RELIABILITY IN EVERY STEP OF HIGH PRESSURE TOOL OPERATION.
In most cases, double-acting tools are lighter and more compact than comparable crimping and cutting
equipment, insuring easier and safer use. This is especially important in compact working areas and hot
stick use when every ounce of a tool’s weight is felt by the operator.
The one-hand valve operation is safer and easier to use, leaving your other hand free to control the tool
head. Each valve has two pressure reliefs for extra safety: One to reduce the return cycle pressure to
prevent damage to the tool; The second to protect against over pressurizing.
DOUBLE-ACTING HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
Superior Performance - beats competitive
power tool systems on key features and benefits.
Better tool control - start, stop, feather, and
position your crimping or cutting head with ease.
No die hang-ups - crisply retracts the die
after every crimp.
Compatible with many existing tool and die
inventories or convert your existing tools and
dies to our double-acting system.
Consistent Pressure - Delivers up to 10,000 psi
at tool head, regardless of positioning.
Quality Features - Lightweight, built-in pressure
reliefs; ground dumps; scavenger pump reduces
back-pressure problems; one-hand valve
operation; and certified non-conductive hoses.
Portability - Lighter and more streamlined than
most other tools.
Adaptability - Use Reliable tools with your
truck’s existing system or one of our portable
power units.
VALVES
Reliable valves feature one-hand operation for
extreme ease of use. They can be direct-coupled
to the tool or, if you wish, attached with hoses for
remote operation. In addition, they feature a built-
in relief valve to limit tool return pressure and a
ground dump safety valve to prevent over
pressurizing in case the return hose becomes
disconnected or plugged.
CRIMPING HEADS
In many cases, double-acting crimping heads are
significantlylighterthancompetitivemodels.Safety
is designed-in as well. One example: A pressure
reducing cavity is designed into each head to
reduce the risk of personal injury from a high-
pressure oil leak.
CUTTERS
All cutters are double-acting and available in
capacities from 1/2 in. to 4 in. Some models can
handle a wide range of materials, including rebar,
ACSR,guystrand,andbolts.Othersafetyfeatures
include hoses rated at four times the working
pressure, and dielectrically safe hoses.
