The serving tools we used in the military were a piece of metal about 12" long,
1' wide with a 1/8" hole about 1/2" from the end and a pair of linemen's
pliers. And gloves, good thick gloves. Serve 3 sets of guys (not mentioning
the insulators) and you will always go with grips (and Phillystran).

Subject: [TowerTalk] Serving Tool for guy wire
In reading the ROHN cat it talks about a serving tool used to wrap the guy
wire back onto itself and around and around as a part of
installing the guy wire. I can not seem to find a 'serving tool' for this
purpose anywhere on the internet does anyone know where to
find one?

Luke 14:28-30
28"Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Will he not first sit down and
estimate the cost to see if he has enough money to
complete it? 29For if he lays the foundation and is not able to finish it,
everyone who sees it will ridicule him, 30saying, 'This
fellow began to build and was not able to finish.'
