HNS – Angled Head Hydraulic Nut Splitter Tool Kit

Nut Splitters are used to removed nuts that are seized, corroded or have become damaged preventing their removal by traditional methods.

A hydraulic piston in the body of the nut splitter pushes a chisel type cutting blade into the flat of the nut with sufficient force to crack the nut – the tool is then rotated 180 degrees and the process is repeated. The nut can then be removed in two halves.

It is critical that the correct size of nut splitter is used for the nut that is to be split.

The HNS nut splitters are named by the across flats size of the applicable nut in mm:

  • HNS1924 – AF nut size 19 to 24mm
  • HNS2432 – AF nut size 24 to 32mm
  • HNS3241 – AF nut size 32 to 41mm
  • HNS4150 – AF nut size 41 to 50mm
  • HNS5060 – AF nut size 50 to 60mm

An application chart for Imperial, Metric and Heavy hex nuts can be found in the download section.

SKU: HNS Category:

The RenQuip HNS range of nut splitters are designed with an angled head. This allows the Nut splitters to access nuts that are located flush against a surface.

The HNS range are actuated by single acting spring return hydraulics and can be powered by any of the PHS range of hand pumps.

Care should be taken when using the tools to ensure the nut splitter is centralised and perpendicular to the flat of the nut being split. The cutting blade should be greased prior to each cut to increase the life of the blade.

RenQuip supplies a full range of replacement blades under the following product codes which can be found in the product images.
