Which is normally used to hold wire rope for splicing?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is C) Rigger's screw.
A rigger's screw, also known as a rigging screw or turnbuckle, is a common tool used in wire rope splicing. It helps hold the wire rope in place while the splice is being made. The threaded design of the rigger's screw allows the user to tighten and secure the wire rope, making it the ideal tool for this purpose.
The other options are not typically used for wire rope splicing. A come-along is a tool for tensioning wire rope, a sealing clamp is used to secure the end of a hose, and a jigger is a type of tackle used for hoisting.
