Mayhew 30" Blast Finish Die Separating Bar (41285)

The Mayhew 30" Blast Finish Die Separating Bar (41285) is a specialized and reliable hand tool crafted for precision and efficiency in industrial settings. This robust bar is primarily designed to facilitate the separation and removal of die blocks and plates, crucial tasks in manufacturing and machinery maintenance. Its generous 30-inch length provides significant leverage, making challenging prying and positioning jobs more manageable. The tool's construction from high-grade alloy steel ensures its strength and resistance to heavy use, while the black oxide finish offers an important layer of protection against rust and wear, extending the tool's lifespan in demanding work environments.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:

• Dual-Purpose Design: Features both a pointed end for precise separation and a curved end for effective removal of die blocks and plates, offering versatility in a single tool.
• Optimal Length for Leverage: The 30-inch length allows for superior leverage, making it easier to maneuver heavy or stubborn components with less effort.
• Corrosion Resistance: Equipped with a black oxide finish that provides enhanced protection against rust and corrosion, ensuring the tool remains in optimal condition even in challenging work environments.
• Enhanced Grip and Stability: The 5/8-inch hex body design provides a secure and comfortable grip, preventing the tool from rolling and improving user control during operation.
• Industrial-Grade Construction: Manufactured from high-grade alloy steel, ensuring the bar can withstand rigorous, heavy-duty applications without bending or breaking.
• American-Made Quality: Proudly made in the USA, reflecting a commitment to high manufacturing standards and reliable performance.

HOW TO USE:

1. Assess the Task: Before starting, identify the die block or plate you need to separate or remove. Ensure you have clear access to the edges or gaps.
2. Position for Separation (Pointed End): Insert the pointed end of the bar into the seam or gap between the die blocks or plates. Apply steady, controlled pressure to create initial separation.
3. Apply Leverage: Once a small gap is created, adjust your grip to maximize leverage. Use your body weight and strength to gradually increase the separation.
4. Position for Removal (Curved End): Once adequately separated, switch to the curved end of the bar. Position this end under the die block or plate you wish to remove.
5. Lift and Pry: Apply upward or outward force using the curved end to carefully lift or pry the die block or plate away from its position.
6. Secure the Component: As the component separates, ensure it is safely supported or guided to prevent it from falling unexpectedly.
7. Clean and Store: After use, wipe down the bar to remove any debris. Store it in a dry place to maintain the integrity of its black oxide finish.

BENEFITS OF USING MAYHEW 30" BLAST FINISH DIE SEPARATING BAR (41285):
