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 the built-in wire cutter 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.
