One Tool. Four Jobs. Why Irrigation Techs Are Switching to Tempo’s Two Wire All-in-One

Installing or maintaining two wire irrigation systems demands precision. Between moisture issues and tight spaces, there’s not much room for error with electrical components and connections. Even so, many irrigation techs still juggle a mix of different tools to get the job done. A knife to open the cable. A stripper for the conductors. Pliers to twist. And maybe something that wasn’t designed for the job in the first place.

Two wire work is repetitive. Time wasted switching between tools adds up fast and using tools that weren’t made for the work leads to inconsistencies:

  • Struggling to cleanly open maxi cable

  • Nicking conductors while stripping

  • Inconsistent twists leading to weak splices

  • Constantly switching between tools

Over the course of a day or a season, these issues cost time, consistency, and confidence in connections.

Quicker, Stronger Connections

Instead of needing to juggle multiple tools, Tempo PA1140 Two Wire All-in-One Tool handles the full process:

  • Slits flat two-wire cable to access the rip cord

  • Strips 12 and 14 AWG conductors cleanly

  • Cuts copper cable with precision

  • Twists conductors for secure, consistent splices

It's built for two-wire irrigation applications, especially 12 and 14 AWG maxi cable, and each function is designed to perform consistently in the field. Having one thoughtfully-built tool smoothes out the workflow, which translates to cleaner installs and more reliable connections.

Other Features:

  • Ergonomic handles for extended use

  • Replaceable blades rated for thousands of cycles

  • Simple maintenance with a standard screwdriver

  • Thumb lock for safe storage

The Tempo Two-Wire All-in-One is built specifically for the work and helps bring consistency to each step of the process. That means better installs and fewer issues over time.
