ottimo prodotto lo uso come protezione di una guaina riscaldante posta su estremità telescopio contro l'umidità notturna

This stuff is possibly the best way to cover bundles of electrical wire or anything that still has at least one end available to push it on to. I love this stuff. It takes a few moment to get the hang of using it but once that is figured out it almost flows over the wires or cables that you are using it on. I used to to cover and protect a wiring harness for a skid steer I was re-wiring. It is not as tough as the hard plastic split wire loom stuff but it serve my purposes perfectly. Highly recommended.

I used it for microphone cable to provide additional insulation and strength to an XLR cable. The sleeve enables the cable to also keep its coil and twist that ultimately improves the life and performance of the cable. Ive used it with cables of both 5 and 10m long. The longer the cable the more benefit the sleeve gives to it. Mine was used with Van Damme XKE terminated with either high quality Neutrik or Nanotech connectors.

Product as described

After reading an article in Fine Woodworking Magazine where the author had used this exact product to reduce damage to his vacuum hoses. I decided to give it a try. It works better than I could have hoped. The hoses it covers are from an old Kirby Vac and a Nilfisk vac. There is no significant catching on the back edge of track saw tracks and with a small nylon plate I had made up there is zero catching. I also use this on a dedicated Hegner finger joint machine. I believe the only reason this is not fitted to all industrial hoses is that it would limit the sale of spare parts hoses. All the best.
