Specifications
U.S. Patent No. 5,225,237
Built-in wire cutter lets you finish the job you
started with just one tool! Double edged blade
cleanly pierces through outer skin and insulation.
Cuts from either direction around entire circum-
ference of duct. Fine honed blade is long lasting
stainless steel. Wire cutter cuts hardened wire rib
coil. Compound leverage, for easy wire cutting.
Comfortable, non-slip vinyl gripped handles.
Wire Cutter
Trim flex duct and tighten
nylon ties with one tool!
The versatile FDC3 Flex Duct Tool is actually three tools in one! The
finely honed double-edged knife blade cleanly pierces through the outer skin,
insulation and liner construction of flexible round duct and cuts in either
direction. A thumb-operated latch opens the tool’s compound-leverage
handles and the jaws of a built-in wire cutter to easily sever the exposed wire
rib coil of duct liner. Use the tool’s tie-tensioning mechanism to install a nylon
tie strap and secure the flex duct take-off collar. With the handles of the FDC3
in the open position, a nylon tie can be threaded through the mechanism and
then tightened by gently pumping the tool’s handles. Use the wire cutter to
trim excess tie strap tail. Trimming and installing flexible round duct is now as
easy as one-two-three with Malco’s FDC3 multi-purpose Flex Duct Tool.
