Midwest Tool And Cutlery Company has expanded its Midwest Snips line of HVAC/R specialty tools with a new Duct Tightener tool. The Duct Tightener's unique patent pending design makes it fast and easy for one person to connect duct runs. Simply tap the tool into place and the V-notch pulls and holds duct together for easy drive cleat insertion. The compact size easily fits into a tool pouch so it's always at hand and ready to use. The Duct Tightener is made in USA of durable 16-gauge steel and features a rust resistant zinc coating. 

When using the Duct Tightener to connect duct runs, the installer aligns the adjoining duct runs and using just one hand slides the Duct Tightener's V-notch end over the duct end-tabs to hold the ductwork in place. The installer then taps the Duct Tightener firmly onto the end-tabs with a hammer to pull and align the duct runs tightly together. A drive-cleat is then quickly and easily inserted and the Duct Tightener removed. The Duct Tightener's V-notch accommodates varying duct run gaps and end-tabs. Due to its compact size the Duct Tightener easily fits into a tool belt so it is always conveniently at hand when standing on a ladder.
