Brief description of combi tools
Battery-powered combi tools are specially designed rescue equipment for cutting and
spreading vehicle body parts. They are used to rescue trapped or enclosed accident victims.
The combi tool uses include cutting door and roof beams, columns and sills, as well as opening
doors, lifting vehicle parts and loads, and squeezing pipes and tie bars.
Because the appliances are equipped with an internal electro-hydraulic drive, they are
not linked to a power unit and
can therefore be used in hard-to-reach locations.
The movement speed of the shear blades (arms) is affected by moving the rocker switch
on the control handle with greater or lesser force. The maximum force is achieved only when
the rocker switch is on full activation.
