TorcUP TNS hydraulic nut splitter

The TorcUP TNS nut splitter is there for when you simply can't get the nut loose. You no longer need a cutting torch or other unpredictable means: the TNS splits the nut safely, without sparks or flames, and without damaging the thread of the bolt or stud. There are eight models, for bolts from 1/2 to 3 inch (12 to 76 mm). The TNS is made in the United States.
