SH-TR FAQ

Learn more from frequently asked questions about our Sleeper & Hartley Thumb-Release puller models from others like you!

What is the difference between a regular SH puller and the Thumb-Release models?

The Thumb release model allows easy one-handed management to grip a wire and to release it. See this video for a visual representation!

 

What is the recommended maintenance schedule for SH pullers and parts?

Recommended Product Maintenance Schedule
Jaw Type Material Frequency
S & H Low Carbon 9 Months
Medium Carbon 6 Months
High Carbon 3 Months
Non-Ferrous 12–18 Months

Maintenance is essential to avoid unplanned downtime! See the above chart for recommendations. This is also dependent on how often these are being used. Heavy usage will impact how long the parts will last.
