General 175 Nut Splitter 3/4 Inch Capacity

Product Description

The GENERAL 175 is a mechanical nut splitter designed to remove seized, rounded, or corroded nuts without damaging the threaded stud or bolt beneath. The tool applies concentrated splitting force directly to the nut body, fracturing it cleanly so the fastener stays intact. At 4.75 inches overall length with a 3/4-inch capacity, it is sized for standard fastener work encountered in plumbing, mechanical, and general trade service. Plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general maintenance mechanics keep this tool on hand for stubborn fasteners that resist turning and cannot be safely cut with a saw or torch in confined spaces.

The GENERAL 175 is well suited for residential and light commercial maintenance applications where corroded or overtightened nuts must be removed from pipe fittings, equipment mounting hardware, and structural fasteners. It is a hand-operated tool requiring no power source, making it practical in tight equipment rooms, crawl spaces, and utility areas where power tools are difficult to position. The compact overall length allows use in areas with limited clearance around the target fastener.

Key Features

• Splits seized or corroded nuts without thread damage to the underlying fastener
• 3/4-inch nut capacity suitable for common trade fastener sizes
• 4.75-inch overall length for use in moderate clearance situations
• Hand-operated with no power source required
• Compact form factor for work in confined mechanical spaces

Compatibility

Designed for use on standard 3/4-inch nuts in general mechanical, plumbing, and HVAC service applications.

Installation Notes

Position the splitter squarely over the nut and tighten the drive screw gradually to apply even splitting force. Always wear appropriate eye protection, as nut fragments may dislodge during splitting. Shut off and depressurize any associated system before removing fasteners from pressurized lines or equipment. This tool is intended for use by qualified trade professionals familiar with fastener removal procedures.
