At Footage Tools, we’ve spent more than 40 years pushing the boundaries of pipeline innovation. Today, we’re proud to introduce the C2400 SQUEEZE BOSS – the most powerful HDPE squeeze-off tool ever built.
Engineered to handle large-diameter, heavy-wall, High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) pipe, the C2400 is a game-changer for contractors and operators who demand speed, safety, and strength on every job.

With an industry-leading 791 tons of squeeze force (that’s over 1.5 million pounds), this hydraulic tool is the first of its kind to effectively squeeze up to 24″ SDR 7 HDPE pipe – a challenge long discussed in the industry but never realized, until now.
Designed specifically to withstand rigorous field conditions of the Permian Basin, the C2400 tackles one of the biggest challenges in oil and gas infrastructure: minimizing downtime and maximizing operational efficiency in pipeline operations in the toughest environments.
This isn’t just an evolution – it is a breakthrough in pipeline planning and field operations.

For years, operators and contractors asked for a stronger, more reliable squeeze-off tool to meet increasing use of thick-walled HDPE pipe in high-performance applications.
Since 2018, Footage Tools has been a leader in large diameter squeeze-off tools, successfully supporting squeeze-off of HDPE pipe up to 16″. The growing demand for 24″ SDR 7 squeeze-off capabilities led to collaboration with ISCO Industries (ISCO) to bring something new to life.
Together, we engaged with industry stakeholders, gathered insights, and engineered a tool to close the gap and open new possibilities for maintenance and safety in HDPE pipeline systems.

The first C2400 SQUEEZE BOSS tool was tested in late 2024. Full production units will be ready for use in May 2025. This is a tool built for the field and ready to work.
The C2400 SQUEEZE BOSS is more than a tool – it’s a solution to some of the biggest challenges in HDPE pipeline operations: minimizing downtime, reducing costs, and increasing safety during in-stream maintenance.
Designed for versatility across multiple industries, the C2400 is ideal for:

Footage Tools is pleased to introduce Squeeze-Off Marking Tape, a simple and highly visible solution designed to identify completed squeeze-off locations on HDPE and MDPE pipe.
When a squeeze-off operation is completed, the location can become difficult to identify over time. A crew performing future maintenance or repair work may have no indication that a section of pipe has previously been squeezed.
Squeeze-Off Marking Tape provides a clear visual reference directly on the pipe, helping future crews recognize where a squeeze-off has occurred and select an appropriate location for future work. The tape easily affixes to HDPE and MDPE pipe and is designed for outdoor and underground applications, providing a durable marker that remains with the pipe long after the squeeze-off operation has been completed.
Perhaps most importantly, the information stays with the pipe. The crew applying the tape today may not be the crew working on that system years from now. By identifying previous squeeze-off locations directly on the pipe, future crews have a clear visual reference that can help support maintenance, repair, and operational activities.
In addition to providing a visible reference in the field, Squeeze-Off Marking Tape can complement utility records and GIS systems by helping ensure information about previous squeeze-off locations remains available to future crews working on the system.
Squeeze-Off Marking Tape is now available through Footage Tools and its distributor network.
