"Hi, I'm Looking For A Pull Tester"

Over the years we've come across numerous inquiries for such items as "wire pull testers", "peel testers", "tensile testers", and other similarly worded "testers". Some customers are surprised to hear that we don't sell testers per se, but rather, that a Mark-10 tester is actually a system consisting of several individual components.

The number of possible combinations of components to satisfy a requirement can be quite extensive. This broad range of combinations makes it possible to customize a tester suited to the exact requirements of the test, as opposed to an integrated tester available in only one flavor.

Tester components typically include a test stand, force gauge, grips, software, and accessories. To some customers, these individual product terms may not be familiar. To help understand what these components are and how they can be configured for specific applications, we've developed a section of our website (click here) that identifies and explains system components. In addition, comparison charts are available to identify the major differences between our various series of gauges and test stands.

If our website still isn't clear enough, further assistance in configuring a tester is always a quick phone call or email away.

Happy testing!
