GoKawiilContractor converts Milwaukee Hackzall into portable Cat6 wire-untwisting tool
Facing a job needing 50,000 custom Cat6 cables and 100,000 terminations, a contractor known as Analytical Horsepower built a portable cable-untwisting tool from a Milwaukee Hackzall reciprocating saw. He had initially modified a $500 Alibaba wire-straightening machine with a DeWalt battery and bike pump for field use, but found it too bulky for tight spaces, so he redesigned the mechanism around the handheld Hackzall, cutting untwisting time to under two seconds per cable.
