Helpful Hints:
When spreading, forces are greater near the base of the arms than near the tip. Additionally, tool forces
increase as the spreader moves from the closed position to the fully opened position due to mechanical
advantage. You can use this knowledge to your advantage when performing an operation.
When cutting, the greatest cutting forces are available at the base of the cutter (point closest to the cutter
bolt). When possible, begin cut as close to the base of the cutter as conditions will allow.
Purchase points that are wider apart
deliver higher spreading forces.
Moving the spreader arms deeper into
the working material increases the
spreading force of the tool.
1. Deeper = Greater Force
2. Wider = Greater Force
