Tools for Water Utility Professionals
The clamping socket was born out of real challenges faced in the field while supplying reliable water service to residents and commercial businesses. Our team encountered repeated issues with damaged service box plugs—problems that demanded a dependable, practical solution.
In response, we developed pound-on plug extractor sockets to tackle these damaged components. While effective, hands-on experience revealed opportunities to improve performance, safety, and ease of use.
That insight led to the creation of the clamping socket—a smarter, more secure solution engineered for demanding utility work. Designed to deliver consistent grip and control, the clamping socket is now available for 5-point pentagon brass plugs and 2" operating nuts on water main valves.
Built from field experience and refined through innovation, our tools are designed to help crews work safer, faster, and with greater confidence.
