Kiene: Spring Brake 3rd Hand Tool

Replacing a spring brake emergency section and diaphragm requires: juggling the section with one hand, lining up the diaphragm with the other hand and with your third hand, turn a ratchet to tighten the clamping bolts.  This requires dexterity not commonly found. 

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 "come 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 gets the vehicle back into service.
