    A number of years ago we went through our whole system and changed every fuse from a KS to a K type, I used one of those jack jumpers for almost a year on and off while going feeder by feeder and the jack jumper made the job way easier, so as far as I'm concerned a jack jumper is the cat's azz.

    Really....I figured a lineman would find a way to get one end against a ground....or insulate the wire/jumper.....Thats cool that it is proven in the field,thanks for your input.

  4. Default Jacket Ripper for underground cable

    I've got a battery powered tool for pulling a single wire of concentric neutral through the jacket of underground primary cable and will go several feet in one operation, on all sizes of cable. Would this be of interest to the Lineman that have to make up underground cable?

    Do you have a picture and a better description? Most of the primary cable I've seen with a concentric neutral does not have a jacket.

    Rob, the primary cable we're getting here has the concentrics cover under a jacket. Been getting it that way for 25 years....

    i dont see see the need for a battery tool though. Greenlee spacer cable stripper adjusted properly works fine......
