Adheseal Nozzle Snipper is a dedicated sealant application tool designed to eliminate the risks of jagged nozzle cuts and job site injuries associated with utility knives. This professional accessory features a precision V-cut blade that maintains nozzle integrity without crushing the plastic, alongside a hardened steel pin for immediate penetration of cartridge seals.
Engineered for the rigours of commercial waterproofing and glazing, the compact design ensures contractors can achieve repeatable, aesthetic bead profiles while preventing material waste from uneven flow.
Frequently asked questions
Why use a nozzle snipper instead of a utility knife?
A nozzle snipper provides a consistent V-cut profile, which is difficult to achieve with a utility knife. It also eliminates the hazard of knife slips and prevents nozzle deformation for a cleaner bead application.
How does the V-cut blade improve bead quality?
The V-cut blade creates an optimised opening that helps control sealant flow, leading to a smoother, more uniform bead. This precision cut reduces waste and improves the final finish.
Can the piercing pin clear hardened sealant?
The hardened steel piercing pin is designed to instantly clear blockages in new or partially used cartridges. It works effectively on fresh or partially cured material, ensuring immediate flow without damaging the cartridge.
Applications and benefits
| Application | Key benefit | Primary trades |
|---|---|---|
| Cutting sealant and adhesive nozzles | Consistent, clean V-cut profile for optimal bead shape and flow control. | Tilers, Plumbers, Builders, Painters |
| Clearing blocked sealant or adhesive cartridges | Instantly pierces dried material with a hardened steel pin, restoring flow and reducing downtime. | Tilers, Plumbers, Builders, Painters |
Product limitations
- Not for: Cutting non-plastic materials or oversized nozzles not compatible with the V-cut opening.
Safety and handling
Personal protective equipment
Use safety glasses to protect against potential debris when piercing or cutting. Handle with care due to the sharp blade and piercing pin.
Storage and disposal
Store the tool in a clean, dry place, away from children. Ensure the blade and piercing pin are protected when not in use to prevent accidental injury or damage to the tool.
