A one piece four-sided hardened steel boot tip is mounted to a distal end upper jaw tang of a heavy duty demolition. The boot tip has a front wall seated on the tang front edge and a right side wall seated on the shear side tang face and radiused or curved rear seat. A top wall has a radiused inside top wall that sits on the radiused tang top seat. A bottom wall of the boot tip has a radiused inside top wall that is seated on the tang radiused bottom seat forming a shear punching edge between the front wall and the bottom wall. The boot tip has a shear side shearing edge that is between the sidewall and the bottom wall of the boot tip. An access or side plate is seated on the guide side tang face, a portion of the radiused boot bottom wall and the radiused rear seat. The side plate is flush with the bottom and front walls. The boot tip right side and access plate have matching apertures therethrough and alignable with the tang apertures to secure the boot and access plate to the tang for encapsulating protection thereof from the lower jaw shear side, the guide side and the tie plate as the upper jaw moves into and out of the recess therebetween. One or more shims may be provided that are insertable inside the boot against the tang faces and clampable thereto after the faces have become worn or otherwise requires adjustment for maximum clamping force.

A hydraulic tool cutting dies including first and second cutting dies. The first cutting die has a first mounting section and a first cutting edge. The first mounting section is sized and shaped to removably attached to a hydraulic tool. The second cutting die has a second mounting section and a second cutting edge. The second mounting section is sized and shaped to removably attached to the hydraulic tool. The first cutting die includes a post extending past the first cutting edge and the second cutting die includes a post receiving area which has a different cross-sectional shape than the post.

A tubular shear assembly for use with a subterranean well can include a tubular shear device configured to shear a tubular string that extends into the well. The tubular shear device can include a body, a fixed shear jaw, and a rotary shear jaw configured to rotate relative to the body and the fixed shear jaw to shear the tubular string. A method of retrieving a tubular string from a subterranean well can include displacing a tubular shear device, including positioning the tubular string between a fixed shear jaw of the tubular shear device and a rotary shear jaw of the tubular shear device, and rotating the rotary shear jaw relative to the fixed shear jaw, thereby shearing the tubular string.

A machine that applies both cutting and shearing action to casting-type metal debris and scrap (hereafter debris), and thus efficiently reduces both brittle and ductile metals to a useful size. The machine comprises a fixed anvil and a reciprocating jaw, the anvil defining an array of spaced anvil plates and the jaw defining a complementary array of spaced jaw V-shaped jaw bars whose upper and lower legs or lobes are alternately reciprocated in an arc into and out the anvil plate array.

A tooth shroud for a demolition tool is disclosed wherein forces produced during demolition operations may be dissipated so as to avoid excessive forces at stress points. A tooth block for a demolition tool comprises a first tooth shroud and a second tooth shroud. The first and second tooth shroud each comprising a body having a front wall and an end wall wherein a cavity is enclosed by the front wall and the end wall; an impact member extending longitudinally from the body; and a cut-out disposed on the end wall, wherein the first tooth shroud is connected to the second tooth shroud.

A cable stripping assembly is used for removing a cable jacket from a cable. The assembly includes a main body extending along a central axis and including a cavity configured to receive the cable. A window in the main body is in communication with the cavity. A blade including a cutting edge is coupled to the main body adjacent the window. The cutting edge is at least partially in the cavity. The blade is rotatable relative to the main body about a pivot axis to vary a distance between the cutting edge and the central axis.
