Crosby® The Terminator™ Wedge Socket

Crosby® The Terminator™ Wedge Socket
  • Wedge Sockets – Warnings & Application Instructions
  • Basket is cast steel
  • Individually magnetic particle inspected
  • Pin diameter and jaw opening allows wedge and socket to be used in conjunction with open swage and spelter sockets.
  • Secures the tail or “dead end” of the wire rope to the wedge, thus eliminates loss or “Punch out” of the wedge
  • Eliminates the need for an extra piece of rope, and is easily installed.
  • The TERMINATOR™ wedge eliminates the potential breaking off of the tail due to fatigue.
