Super Rod’s innovative cable jack product is a spooling device which can support up to 35kg of weight, yet compacts down to fi t into one 45cm long packaging tube. The cable jack is supplied with the packaging tube, two aluminium collars and four fi bre glass legs which are easily assembled into an A-frame; simply slide the collars onto the 44mm diameter tube, add the cable roll and fi nish by screwing the legs into the collars. The cable roll is now lifted off the ground and able to turn freely. Ideal for small domestic jobs, the jack can also be adapted for bigger jobs where more than one cable roll needs spooling. Simply replace the 45cm long packaging tube supplied with a 115cm packaging tube which comes with any Super Rod cable rod product, and the cable jack is now ready to hold multiple reels of cable.
