ATOOL which overcomes the problem of rusted or corroded nuts is now obtainable from E. P. Barrus (Concessionaires), Ltd., 12-16 Brunel Road. Acton. W.3.
The tool is called the Barrus Nut Splitter and consists of a chromemolybdenum steel cutter attached to the end of a set screw, which fits into either of two cast steel bodies. Each body has a hollow tapped shaft, down which the cutter moves, and an opening (1-in. dia. on one, .1A-in. dia. on the other body) to receive the nut to be split.
Using the tool is quite easy. The cutter is inserted in the body with the most convenient hole size, and the tool is placed over the nut. The hexagon head of the cutter bolt is then turned so that the cutting edge is forced into the nut to split it away from its bolt. It is claimed that up to 100 nuts can be split before regrinding of the blade becomes necessary.
Cost of the Berms Nut Splitter Kit, EOB/1474, complete in plastic wallet, is £1 19s. 6d.
