This BlueSpot Tools 2-Piece Nut Splitter Set is designed for mechanics and engineers tackling stubborn or corroded nuts. Its primary benefit is providing a durable and effective solution for removing seized fasteners without damaging the surrounding components. A potential caveat is its size limitation, with the larger splitter only accommodating nuts up to 22mm (7/8”). This set features heat-treated carbon steel construction for the casing and hardened chrome molybdenum splitting heads, ensuring longevity and robust performance for maintenance and repair tasks.

The larger nut splitter in this set can handle nuts up to 22mm (approximately 7/8”). The smaller splitter is designed for nuts between 12mm and 16mm.
Yes, you will need a suitable hex socket or spanner to turn the screw mechanism on the nut splitter. The set is designed to work with 14mm sockets/spanners for the smaller splitter and 19mm for the larger one.
After each use, clean the tools and apply a light coating of machine oil, particularly to the carbon steel casing and the splitting head, to protect them. Store them in a dry place.
These tools are specifically designed for splitting nuts. While they might inadvertently damage a bolt during the process of splitting a nut, they are not intended for cutting bolts.
The splitting heads are made from hardened chrome molybdenum, which provides durability and wear resistance.
Yes, they are manufactured from heat-treated carbon steel with hardened chrome molybdenum heads, making them suitable for heavy-duty use by professional mechanics and engineers dealing with stubborn fasteners.
The splitting heads have a hardness rating of 50-55 HRC, indicating their strength and ability to withstand significant force.
Ensure the splitter is correctly positioned over the nut and the cutting edge is firmly against the nut's side. Check if the nut size is within the tool's range (12-16mm or 16-22mm). Apply more force by tightening the screw mechanism with a suitable wrench. For extremely seized nuts, try tapping the body of the splitter gently with a hammer after tightening to help break the bond.
Verify that the nut material is not significantly harder than the tool's specifications. Avoid forcing the tool on nuts that are too large or too small for its designated range. Ensure the nut is clean to prevent grit from accelerating wear. If the head is significantly damaged, it may be time to replace the tool.
Clean the screw threads thoroughly to remove any debris or rust. Apply a penetrating lubricant or light machine oil to the threads and work the mechanism back and forth. Ensure the tool is not bent or damaged, which could cause binding.
Clean the rusted area with a wire brush. Apply a rust inhibitor or a light coat of machine oil to protect the metal surfaces, especially the carbon steel casing. Store the tool in a dry environment.
Setup: No assembly is required. The nut splitters are ready for immediate use. Ensure the nut to be split is clean and free from excessive debris.
