Six new frangible collar removal sockets from ATI Tools prove that high safety and damage prevention standards don’t have to get in the way of productivity. The cutting-edge helical design provides aviation and industrial technicians with both versatility and security.
The patent-pending design allows each removal socket to accommodate multiple fastener sizes, immediately engaging most collars in most materials—including stainless steel and aluminum—with minimal downward force and without coming in contact with the aircraft skin. Their compact size allows for easy access to hard-to-reach areas while still providing easy removal of extracted collars.
Other features of the sockets (product code ATI3585) include:
• ¼-inch ratchet drive, for use with hand or air ratchets;
• Set screw holds socket in place on ratchet;
• Available as a six-socket set or individually:
