Tools & Equipment

Jointing Tech supplies tools and equipment for cable jointing, cable preparation, installation, maintenance and electrical infrastructure work. Our range includes cable preparation and scoring tools, manual, hydraulic and battery cutting tools, crimping tools and heads, 1000V insulated hand tools, test equipment, gas torches, digging tools, drill bits, holesaws, knives, pumps and specialist installation products.

Using the right tool helps improve installation quality, efficiency and safety. Whether you are preparing LV, MV or HV cable, installing lugs, making a joint, terminating a cable or completing general site work, our team can help identify suitable tools and accessories.

Tool selection should begin with the cable or installation task. Cable preparation tools must match the cable construction and insulation type. Cutting tools must have the appropriate capacity for the cable and conductor, while crimping tools and dies must be approved for the selected lug, splice or connector.

For electrical work, insulated tools should be selected where their voltage rating and intended use are appropriate. A 1000V insulated hand tool is not a substitute for correct isolation procedures or a full safe system of work. Test equipment must be suitable for the measurement required and used by competent personnel.

Hydraulic, battery and manual tools each offer different benefits. Consider the cable size, number of operations, access conditions, tool weight, power-source availability, required output and whether the product is appropriate for occasional or repetitive work. Check calibration, maintenance and inspection needs where relevant.

Always use the tool in line with the manufacturer’s instructions, including compatible dies, blades, accessories and torque settings. Do not use damaged tools or substitute tooling outside the approved system.

FAQs

How do I choose a crimping tool?

Match the tool, die set and crimp profile to the lug or connector manufacturer’s instructions and the conductor size.

What tools are needed for cable jointing?

Requirements vary, but can include cable preparation tools, cutters, crimpers, torque tools, insulation products, heat tools or cold-shrink installation aids, and test equipment.

Can one cable cutter cut all cable types?

No. Check the tool’s stated capacity and suitability for the conductor material, cable construction and application.

Are insulated hand tools suitable for live work?

They are not a substitute for isolation or approved live-working procedures. Use only under the organisation’s electrical-safety controls.
