Malco DS3 Locking Duct Stretcher

The Locking Duct Stretcher is a versatile tool that simplifies the process of aligning and installing duct sections. The device pulls the duct sections together and securely holds them in place, freeing both hands to align and install the drive cleats. The DS3 model can lock onto the duct connection from either side, eliminating the need to adjust the wheels.

The process of using the Locking Duct Stretcher is straightforward. Simply place the wheel, located on the moveable cam, on one side of the adjoining duct flanges. Then, turn the handle downward to pull the duct sections together and lock them in place. The greater wheel clearance allows the device to capture the ends of duct sections, even those with misshapen flanges, making the task easier than ever.

The versatile shape of the DS3 frame also enables users to hook and pull the duct from above as the drive cleat is guided along the remainder of the flanged track. The durable all-steel frame extends beyond the wheel edges, making it safe to push, hammer, and bend the drive cleats as necessary to complete the installation.

One of the standout features of the Locking Duct Stretcher is its offset handle design, which eliminates any knuckle contact with the work surface, providing a more comfortable and ergonomic experience for the user.

The Locking Duct Stretcher is available in a pack of six, ensuring that multiple workers can use the tool simultaneously, improving efficiency and productivity on the job site. The durable steel construction of the device guarantees its long-lasting performance, making it a valuable addition to any HVAC technician's toolbox.

In summary, the Locking Duct Stretcher is a versatile and user-friendly tool that streamlines the process of aligning and installing duct sections. With its ability to lock onto the duct connection from either side, greater wheel clearance, and offset handle design, the DS3 model offers a unique solution to the challenges faced by HVAC professionals during duct installation.
