Overview
The WORKMASTER Capstan Repair Swage Kit is designed to quickly and safely restore worn hopper car capstans to a usable square shape, ensuring reliable engagement with railcar gate openers drive fitting. The kit includes a heavy-duty dead-blow hammer and a precision-machined 4140 steel swaging tool that allows workers to cold-form and square up capstans that are rounded but not beyond repair (we offer a Capstan Renew Attachment for completely worn capstans). By reshaping the metal without heat, the tool provides an economical in-field, quick solution that reduces downtime and improves safety during unloading operations, The dead-blow hammer safely delivers maximum striking force without rebound, while the swage tool is engineered to withstand repeated use in tough railcar unloading environments. Compact and easy to use, the Capstan Repair Swage Kit is an essential maintenance solution for railcar operators, unloading crews, and facility managers.
