Professional Cable Tools

Our cable and chain tool selection includes equipment for the different stages of garage door cable work, including:

• Cable cutters for cleanly cutting steel wire rope and garage door lifting cable

• Hand swagers for securing cable sleeves, stops, and fittings

• Cable pullers and cable grips for securely holding wire rope under controlled tension

• Cable fabrication tools for making replacement garage door cable assemblies

• Complete cable assembly kits for professional shop and field use

• Tools suitable for residential and commercial overhead door service

Cable Cutters

A dedicated wire rope cutter can produce a much cleaner cut than standard pliers or general-purpose cutters. Clean cable ends are especially important when inserting cable through sleeves, stops, thimbles, drums, and other garage door hardware.

Our selection includes professional cable cutters from manufacturers such as FELCO, along with heavy-duty wire rope and aircraft cable cutters for different cable sizes and applications.

Cable Swagers

Cable swagers are used to permanently crimp sleeves and stops onto wire rope when fabricating or repairing cable assemblies. Choose the proper swager according to the cable diameter and fitting size being used.

We carry hand-operated swaging tools for common garage door cable sizes as well as professional multi-compression options for frequent shop and field use.

Cable Pullers & Grips

Cable grips and pullers allow technicians to securely grip wire rope without relying on improvised clamps or pliers. These tools are useful when positioning, tensioning, or controlling cable during installation and repair.

Available options include professional cable grips from Klein Tools and compact pulling clamps such as the Mini-Mule, giving installers choices for different cable diameters and working capacities.

Cable Hoists

Portable cable hoists provide controlled mechanical pulling force for demanding installation and service situations. Different capacities are available for residential, commercial, and heavier overhead door applications.

Always select a hoist, cable grip, and related hardware with working capacities appropriate for the specific job.

Important Safety Information

Garage door cables, springs, drums, and counterbalance systems may be under significant tension. Cable and chain tools must be properly sized and used within their rated capacities. Never exceed a tool's specified working capacity. Garage door repair involving cables or counterbalance components should be performed by trained individuals using proper procedures and appropriate personal protective equipment.
