Nut splitter

With the nut splitters from KW Hydraulik, you can remove nuts that cannot be loosened due to corrosion without damaging the bolt thread.

Hydraulic nut splitters | Loosening stuck nuts

Hydraulic nut splitters are used when nuts can no longer be loosened conventionally due to severe corrosion, extreme deformation or the effects of the weather. These tools reliably split the nut without damaging the screw or thread. Ideal for industrial maintenance, servicing and plant construction.

Minimal effort required

In contrast to cut-off grinders or chisels, our hydraulic nut splitters are non-sparking, splinter-free and quiet. This minimises the risk of injury and meets the highest occupational safety requirements, especially in sensitive areas such as the energy or chemical industries.

Suitable for many applications

The nut splitters from KW Hydraulik are designed for metric sizes (e.g. M12-M36) and can even handle high-strength or stainless materials such as stainless steel. Whether flange nuts, lock nuts or wheel nuts, the nut is cracked open precisely with the right cutting mould.

Technology you can rely on

All tools are robustly constructed, developed for tough use on the construction site or in the workshop and can be operated with standard hydraulic power packs. Our models are characterised by:

  • Precise cutting without damaging the thread,
  • compact designs for confined spaces,
  • and a long service life thanks to hardened cutting edges

Whether stationary or mobile, we will be happy to advise you on selecting the optimum tool for your application.

Frequently asked questions about nut splitters (FAQ)

What does a nut splitter do?

A nut splitter is used for the non-destructive loosening of tight nuts by cutting them open in a controlled manner. The bolt thread remains undamaged.

Do nut splitters damage the thread?

When used correctly, only the nut is split. The underlying thread usually remains completely intact.

Does a nut splitter work on stainless steel or flange nuts?

Yes, high-quality hydraulic models are suitable for high-strength materials such as stainless steel and special nut types such as flange nuts.

Can nut splitters be used for wheel nuts?

Yes, provided there is space for the attachment and the wheel nut is accessible. Please contact us and we will be happy to check compatibility.
