We have used a spiker in the past to check cable dead. Ours was a hydraulic hand pump. Our newest tool is a battery powered hydraulic cutter. Now we just "ID" our cable and cut.
@@CHICAGOHAND Hi there in New Zealand we traced our cables thought we had the correct one and Spiked it. There was three Cable in the trench. We got the wrong one. That is why in the end you spike it with a spiking Gun. Somebody in Hamilton City NZ cable a cable with a Hand Saw. it was still alive, he got badly burnt. Be careful.
That's not spiking a cable . That's cutting a cable with an hydraulic cutter and a poor one at that . It's so slow I wonder if there is any fluid in it at all . A spike gun fires a steel chisel through the cable by means of a cartridge shot , different charges for different cables using a lanyard from a distance to fire it .

That is just a cable cutter, A spiking tool uses a Shot charge to fire a pin into cable.
