[0004] Complex installation: pear-shaped pin needs to be pressed into the rope cap body by hammering or special press, which has strong dependence on operating environment and equipment, and low efficiency in field operation;
[0005] High precision requirement: only suitable for steel wire rope diameter of specific tolerance range (usually ±0.1mm), if the steel wire is worn or the diameter deviation is out of limit, it is easy to cause clamping failure or pear-shaped pin jamming;
[0006] Difficult to disassemble: pear-shaped pin and body are interference fit, need to be knocked or heated to expand in reverse when disassembling, which is easy to damage steel wire rope and tool body, and has safety hazard.
[0007] Slip type rope cap:
[0008] Complex structure: adopt multiple slips and conical sleeve to cooperate, with many parts, high machining precision requirement (such as slip tooth shape needs to be precisely milled), and significant increase in production cost;
[0009] Poor adaptability: slip tooth shape is designed for specific steel wire diameter, if different specifications of steel wire are replaced, special slip needs to be matched, and the universality is insufficient;
[0010] Inconvenient to maintain: downhole mud or debris is easy to invade into the gap between slips, causing slip movement to be blocked, and difficult to disassemble after long-term use.

[0013] Not suitable for high pressure environment: lack of sealing design, easy to cause connection failure due to material aging or corrosion in high temperature and high pressure well conditions
