Pictured Below are some of the basic tools we are using every day to replace slings in our shop:
1. Spreader tools
2. lubricants for slings and screws
3. Pliers and cutting tools
4. Flatheads or chisels for prying endcaps
5. Soft hammers and sockets
Customers have reported excellent results with the "600lb" DeWalt XL Series and the Jorgensen 36" Heavy-Duty Spreader/Clamp.
We have since added a couple to our own shop and found they perform well on most frames. The reversible ends allow the tool to be used to pull welded frames together or to spread frames apart, making it a versatile option for a variety of applications.
For many frames, using more than one clamp at a time provides better control and more even pressure when adjusting the frame.
At around $45, they offer excellent value.

We recommend the "2-4 ton" Porta-Power, a hydraulic tool our team and full-time contractors use in our shops every day. If you're working with more than just a few sets of slings, this tool can save you a lot of time and effort.
They typically cost around $120 and are a great value for the work they do.
