DXE-22600  -  Deburring Tool with Extending Handle and 2 Blades

 

Handy for cleaning burrs after cutting or drilling aluminum or steel.  This rugged hand tool features an adjustable length blade holder 
to allow access to burrs deep inside tubing or other hard to reach places.  Extremely versatile and handy. 

 

Includes one blade for aluminum and steel and one blade for cast iron and brass.  Holder 
telescopes from 1⁄2" to 5" for long reach inside objects. Handle has storage compartment for spare 
blades. Blade can be inserted at 90° for deburring cross holes.  

 

DXE-RADW-20RT/-32RT/-65RT Pre-Assembled, Radial Wire, w/ 1/4" ring Terminals, 20 Pack

 

The DXE-RADW Radial Wire Kits include the highest quality 14 gauge stranded copper wire with a relaxed black PVC insulation 
for easy installation of your radial system. The twenty pre-cut radial wires include 1/4" ring terminals 
professionally crimped on one end for quick and easy attachment to the radial plate.  These Radial Wire Kits are 
designed for users of vertical antenna systems which have the need for a high quality radial system for optimum 
antenna performance. The 1/4" ring terminals are machine crimped for maximum grip.  Soldering is not required 
for strength, but is recommended if installed in corrosive environments such as salt spray. 

 

Packed 20 Radial Wires per package - 14 gage, stranded copper wire  - Black relaxed PVC insulation 

 

1/4" Ring Terminal professionally crimped on each Radial Wire 

 

3 lengths to choose from: 20 Ft (-20RT), 32 Ft (-32RT), 65 Ft (-65RT)  

 
 

 

 

DXE-GUY-Kits  -  Guying Kits for Vertical Antennas  

Some vertical manufacturers indicate their antennas do not need guying. During times of high winds or ice loading, 
some of these verticals may sustain damage or fail altogether. With the small amount of effort needed to install a four 
point guying system, the risk hardly seems worth taking. A four-point guying scheme provides the best mechanical 
advantage to reduce wind stress, regardless of direction. A four point guying system is recommended for use with a DX 
Engineering Tilt Base, because just one of the guy ropes has to be loosened when you tilt the vertical down. The 
remaining guys help stabilize the vertical in three directions when being raised. The guying kits are ideal for fixed or 
portable installations.
