SWA MAKE FRIENDS WITH THE COMPANION SWA’S patented new cable companion solves the tricky problem of cables snagging on the drum. S WA says the Cable Companion’s simple, but ingenious, swinging tension arm keeps cable properly wound on its reel at all times, even when it is not being pulled. The maker adds that when pulling cable, the product makes the job quicker, easier and hassle free with no more returning to the drum to sort out tangles and snags. Reels are securely mounted on Cable Companion with a strong, easy to use catch for added robust reliability. The 360° rotational design means that cable can be pulled in any direction or to any height. Alternatively, the dispenser can be locked in one position. Cable Companion features a sturdy and stable fl oor-standing frame, but the range also includes a special ‘When pulling cable Cable Companion makes the job quicker, easier and hassle free.’ bracket for clamping the dispenser to joists, so it’s a strong solution for use in lofts, too. The Cable Companion also folds away fl at, making it convenient to transport in the van and store. Built to last, SWA says its robust metal construction will give many years of service.
