You cannot BELIEVE how fast pneumatic bench mounted cutters and crimpers are. They use dolly wheel carts with spools. Final measurements are done on the bench.
WHACK! 4/0 is cut with the push of a pedal
YANK! Cable is circular cut, then sliced to strip an end. The bumper stops the terminal and one hand holds the cable in place.
CRIMP! another pedal gets pushed.
The heat shrink is slipped over the end and the operator swivels his or her seat. The assembled end is stuck in a chamber a timer switch is pressed and electric radiant heat shrinks the tubing. When the light goes off, the other end is done, the cable is thrown over the shoulder into a bin.
Elapsed time, forty seconds both ends.
