All Festec® FNS Nut Splitters have a maximum tool operating pressure of 10.000 psi (700 bar) and have a universal 3/8” hydraulic coupler and will therefore work with hydraulic pumps from certain other brands.

FAQ
-
What is the best position to place the Festec® FNS Nut Splitter on the nut?
As the Festec® FNS Nut Splitters all have a unique inclined plane for the use on plane surfaces. Therefore the FNS Nut Splitter has to be placed over the nut and the outer flat surface of the Nut Splitter must rest against one of the nut flats. Position the blade in the middle of the nut flat and start applying pressure with the hydraulic pump.

The nut cannot be removed after one cut. What should I do?
If you cannot remove the nut after one cut, reposition the Festec® FNS Nut Splitter to the side opposite (180°) the split. After splitting the other side the nut can now be removed easily.
-
How much splitting can there be done with just 1 blade?
When using the Festec® FNS Nut Splitters correctly, the blade can be re-used more than 100 times. Therefore always use the tool as explained in the user manual! Always apply a suitable cutting fluid or anti-seize paste. These products will help reduce blade wear and breakage, will ease the splitting operation and limit the risk of sparking and debris projectiles. When the high performance blade becomes blunt, it can be grinded again.
-
Are there any spare parts available?
Of course there are! All the visible and internal parts can be delivered as a spare part. The spare parts list can be found in the user manual.
