Manual Shrinking and Stretching Pliers Eckold HZ 52

Manual Shrinking and Stretching Pliers Eckold HZ 52


Eckold HZ 52 is a portable manual Handformer developed by the German company Eckold. It is specifically designed for correcting, fitting, and repairing sheet metal and profiles. Its uniqueness lies in its ability to perform two opposing operations—shrinking and stretching—on the material.

  • Purpose: Precision fitting and correction of sheet metal edges, flanges, and profiles.

  • Field of Application: An ideal tool for assembly and repair work directly on construction sites, as well as in body repair and restoration.

  • Additional Function: Capability for clinching—joining metal sheets without welding or auxiliary materials.

Advantages and Features

  • Portability and Autonomy: Thanks to the manual drive, the HZ 52 pliers are completely independent of external energy sources (electricity or pneumatics), making them perfect for "on-site" work.

  • 2-in-1 Functionality: Allows for both stretching (increasing edge length, e.g., for concave shapes) and shrinking (reducing edge length, e.g., for convex shapes) of flanges and profiles.

  • High Correction Precision: Provides extremely accurate micro-corrections required for the perfect joining of parts (e.g., when fitting corners).

  • Multifunctionality: Beyond its primary forming tasks, the pliers can be used for clinching (seamless joining) of thin metal sheets, adding to the tool's versatility.

  • Eckold Quality: The reliability and durability characteristic of Eckold equipment guarantee a long service life even under intensive use.

Standard Equipment

  • HZ 52 Pliers Body: Manual mechanism with a lever for actuation.

  • Base Insert Set:

    • Shrinking Inserts (e.g., FWA405) — for forming concave profiles.

    • Stretching Inserts (e.g., FWR407) — for forming convex profiles.

  • Quick-Change Mechanism: Ensures easy replacement of functional inserts.

Options

  • Clinching Sets: Specialized sets of inserts for joining sheets using clinching technology (seamless connection).

  • Stand/Holder: Special mounts or stands for stationary use in a workshop, facilitating work with larger parts.

  • Expanded Insert Kits: Additional inserts for working with specially shaped profiles or for performing unique operations.
