Abstract: A powered bending tool comprises a portable drive housing including a handle and having a powered drive gear. A bracket is secured to the housing defining a pivot connection spaced from the drive gear. A driven gear is pivotally connected to the bracket at the pivot connection and operatively engages the drive gear. A center guide is connected to the bracket at the pivot connection. A support is operatively connected to the bracket at one side of and spaced from the pivot connection. An arm has a near end pivotally connected to the bracket at the pivot connection and a distal end having an arm guide at another side of the pivot connection relative to the guide. The arm is selectively engeagable by the driven gear to be rotated therewith. In use, a rod is positioned below the center guide and above the arm guide and a support, and the drive gear drives the driven gear to pivot the arm so that the arm guide deforms the rod as it engages the center guide at a bend point.

Abstract: A cable bending tool comprises a drive housing including a powered drive element. A jaw assembly comprises first and second jaws hingedly connected to one another. The drive element is selectively operated to cause the first and second jaws to move between a neutral and an actuated position. A bending shoe is secured to a distal end of the first jaw. An arm with opposite rollers is secured to a distal end of the second jaw and extends transversely to a path of movement of the jaws. The rollers support a cable with the bending shoe on an opposite side of the cable.

Abstract: A portable strap hoist comprises a generally rectangular frame. An upper hook is mounted at a top of the frame for mounting the frame to a structure, in use. A drum includes an insulated strap wound about the drum supporting a lower hook for supporting a load, in use. A spline shaft is operatively associated with the drum to rotatably mount the drum to the frame. A driven gear is mounted to the shaft. A portable housing is mounted to the frame and includes a handle and a drive in the portable housing including a drive gear operatively engaging the driven gear.

Abstract: A powered conduit bending tool comprises a portable drive housing including a handle and having a powered drive gear. A bracket is secured to the housing defining a pivot connection spaced from the drive gear. A guide is operatively secured to the housing. A platform is pivotally connected to the bracket at the pivot connection and includes a driven gear operatively engaging the drive gear to controllably pivot the platform. A shoe is removably mountable to the platform and comprises a first bender defining a downwardly opening arcuate channel selectively positionable proximate the guide. A hook is proximate one end of the bender for engaging a conduit received in the channel. In use, the guide supports a conduit engaged by the hook and pivotal movement of the shoe driven by the platform deforms the conduit as it passes by the guide.

Abstract: A wedge connection tool for securing a tap connector having a C shaped member and a wedge using a ram tool. The tool head comprises an elongate base member comprising first and second ends. A collar at the first end of the base member has a through opening for receiving a ram tool. A head at the second end of the base member is aligned with the collar through opening to engage a C shaped member. A cable stop plate is mounted to the head for limiting movement of a tap line cable received in a C shaped member when a ram tool is securing a tap connector.
