can I use this to tighten a zip line cable

Yes, you can use this to temporarily tighten your zip line cable, however, a proper sized turnbuckle would be advisable for permanent attachment.

The tool in designed for soft copper and aluminum. If you try to use in the way you described there is a possibility that the tool will get stuck. So it is up to you, Good Luck. Shurail HVAC

I've used it for flat cables in a pinch but generally I use the blade on my crimpers that I set for flat cables. This isn't ideal for flat.

It doesn't work well at all. you are better off shortening the pull rope a little bit and pulling up on the string to hook the line. the crank cocking device works very poorly.

While you could certainly try, I do not believe this is the correct crimper for these crimps. There is no alignment die to hold the crimp in place for proper crimping. I would say if you had one or two to do and lots of the many others that this tool is right for, buy it. If you have many of the Delphi (and specifically in bulk), this is no the tool to buy.

Yes it is. Even with a pulley and loop line you will need to attach both ends of the rope. Google an example. You can probably see an image and how it works. You dont have to have this piece but if you want your line tight and the ability to tighten as the line is stretched over the years i would attach this to you clothesline. All you do if it starts to sag is pull rope tigher through this tightener.

Yes, use a small socket wrench on the nut in the clamp. I did the exact same thing and it will tighten up.

Yes, the way the cable and clamps are designed, you can make it any length you want up to 100 ft. Very easy, you will see when it arrives. One end is a fixed loop, but the other end, you make a loop at the length you want and tighten down two clamps with a wrench or a socket. I found the best way to do it is to make it just a bit shorter than it looks like I will need, then use a big screwdriver to pry the second loop onto the hook, that way the cable is nice and tight.

YES - However tool is not easy to use - you can cut and waste a lot of cable if not careful - I use it to score the outer jacket only - I tried both # 5 & 6 cable - hope this helps -I cannot overstress the "be careful" part - you may have limited cable to work with

no, not really. This tool does an excellent job ...can take or leave the plastic side mounted terminal holder. You can, with care, some skill and a decent set of crimp pliers, achieve a similar quality of crimp. Soldering with a big soldering iron may also be an option, once the tangs are wrapped over your wire. No matter what the method, the use of an anti corrosive/sealant is an excellent idea if connector is outdoors, as backside of an MC4 might not seal out the elements completely.

They might,,line is like that of a weed Wacker. I was impressed by how well it worked. Best to detach the cable.

sure but not this fuse holder is designed for much heavier cable. when Installing mine I used 4 gauge

There is a special TZe tape designed specifically for Cables and Wires -TZe-FX231 Flexible Tape. It is specially formulated for bending, wrapping and flagging.

Yes. The zip tie should accomodate that, but if it doesn't a regular zip tie will work.

This tool is design for crimping terminals on wire. I don't believe it will do air hoses.

Yes, you'll need one for each line. They are left on the line and as the line gets slack, you can tighten again.

I have the same question because I have a tool that works just fine with cat 5 cables, but with cat 6 STP I need something that will handle the thicker jacket. If I force the cable into the recess to strip off the outside, a traditional cutter will cut through the wires. Since the tool should be for both cutting, stripping the jacket and crimping, one that can squeeze the connector alone doesn't make it the right tool.
