Answer from Ningbo Changshi: The lifespan of a cable pulling sock is not measured in time but rather in the number and severity of its uses. A sock's strength is diminished with each pull due to the stresses of tension, friction, and environmental factors.

You can extend the life of a cable sock by following these professional practices:

• Proper Sizing: As mentioned, using the correct size for the cable diameter ensures the load is distributed evenly across the mesh, minimizing localized stress.

• Correct Installation: The grip must be fully "walked" onto the cable and secured with a durable tape or banding to prevent slippage and to distribute the load evenly.

• Using a Swivel: Always use a Swivel between the pulling sock and the pulling rope. The swivel absorbs rotational forces and prevents the sock from twisting and losing its grip.

• Clean and Dry Storage: After each use, clean the sock to remove dirt, mud, or debris and store it in a dry location to prevent rust.

By adhering to these best practices, you can ensure our high-quality single-eye cable socks provide reliable and safe performance for as many pulls as possible before replacement is necessary.
