The FSM8 Manual Flange Spreader is mechanically operated using a ratchet mechanism. With no need a hydraulic pump and trailing hoses, it is a great choice for working in difficult spaces at remote locations.
The FSM8 flange tool fits into very small clearance gaps of 0.24 inch (6 mm). It uses a friction-free, smooth, parallel wedge movement to prevent flange damage and spreading arm failure.
