Handy Tools for Tension Work | Slope Contractors: You Can't Beat Nature

Hello, everyone.

This is Enta.

The other day, the snow was so bad I couldn't get to the job site, and it looks like things are going to get a little tough again. (I'm definitely working on Sunday!)

Nature Always WinsThat's it.

No matter what, a slope contractor can't beat nature.

Eventually, I got scolded for no reason, and

Landslide

I am sustained by nature.

Slope Protection Works

No matter how hard you try, you just can't go against nature, lol.

Otherwise, slope maintenance workers will be out of a job!!


But that's beside the point.

Tools for Tension Work

It's freezing cold out here today, and I'm feeling a bit nervous working at this site along the river!

*The photo shown is not the actual item.

Being nervous is surprisingly tough, isn't it?

First, regarding the logistics: when it comes to what the construction company brings with them,

It's a tool for peeling polyethylene hose! It's not a utility knife!

Whether or not you have this makes a world of difference in terms of work efficiency and safety.

Unbonded Sheath Cutter

Unbonded Sheath Cutter, φ12.7It's a product that really makes cutting polyethylene hose a breeze.

Here's a video for you to watch.

It cuts so easily, doesn't it!

I highly recommend it because it's incredibly useful.

FSC Fujiwara Industries, Inc.

Also, since you’ll be attaching the jack after peeling the skin, it’s best to have a machine that can lift it if possible.

It's really tough without this, lol.

As anyone with experience knows, hydraulic jacks usually start at around 50 kg, right?

The smaller size weighs about 50 kg when sold as a two-piece set.

If the two of us have to lift this, attach the head, and drive in the wedges, we'll be completely wiped out by the end of the day, right?

Something to Hang a Jack From

Once you have something to hang things on, the rest is mostly stuff related to head preparation—and one thing people tend to forget is rags.

The free end is coated with a thick layer of rust-preventive oil.

If you don't wipe it off with a rag, everything from the jack to the props will get sticky.

The rest are just small tools, but when you're nervous, you end up needing all sorts of things.

Finally,There are times when it’s handy to have this.There's something like that.

This is it.

Long-Nose Radio Pliers

Long-Nose Radio PliersThat's it.

And if possible, it would be handy to have one more type.

Kunipex Curved-Tip Radio Pliers

Needle-Nose Radio PliersThat's it.

When you use this... you need a wedge... lol

It comes in really handy when pulling out a wedge that's stuck in an anchor head lol

That happens sometimes, doesn't it??

An unexpected situation!

If someone said to me, “That’s why I love this!” I’d think, “That’s awesome!” lol

The rest are management tools, right?

Digital meters, dial gauges, tripods, and calipers. Please gather the items you need based on the job site.

 

See you later.
