Kiene K-1309 Spring Brake 3rd Hand

A new tool from Kiene to make a spring brake job easier, more cost effective and safer.  The new spring brake 3rd hand allows for quick and simple emergency section and diaphragm replacement on the vehicle!

Replacing a spring brake emergency section and diaphragm requires: juggling the section with one hand, lining up hte diaphragm with the other hand and with your third hand, turn a ratchet to tighten the clamping bolts.  This requires dexterity not commonly found.  At least not until mechanic/inventor Jan De La Mora invented the Spring Brake 3rd Hand.

Why the Spring Brake 3rd Hand?

• Replacing the complete spring brake is time consuming, frustrating and often not needed.  By replacing only the emergency section and diaphragm, the job can be done in a few minutes, without removing the service section and without the hassle of measuring and cutting the service section push rod. (A job in itself!)
• The Spring Brake 3rd Hand holds the emergency section in place leaving both hands free to align the diaphragm and tighten the clamping bolts.  This helps ensure proper diaphragm placement, which results in less service side leaks and costly "com back" jobs.
• The Spring Brake 3rd Hand makes replacing an emergency section and diaphragm simpler-easier and saves money by minimizing repair time and quickly get the vehicle back into service.

Features:

• Hook engages service section push rod to help hold the 3rd hand in place
• Emergency section cradle
• Stabilizing Plate - Accepts most common emergency sections
• Squeeze handle permits quick length adjustments
• MADE IN THE USA

PLEASE NOTE, IMPORTANT INFORMATION:

• NOTE | Never try to disassemble an emergency section - replace it
