A nut splitter works by forcing the chisel into the nut’s flat until it splits. |
 |
When the screw at the end of the nut splitter’s handle is turned clockwise, it pushes the chisel or anvil up against the flat of the nut until the nut is pinched between the chisel and the anvil. As the screw is turned further, the chisel cuts into the flat of the nut until the nut splits. |
 |
This may then enable the nut to be removed, or the process is repeated on the opposite side of the nut, resulting in the nut splitting in two, causing it to fall way from the bolt or threaded shaft. |
 |
Some nut splitters have two chisels that fit either side of the nut, instead of a chisel and an anvil. This means the two chisels cut into each side of the nut at the same time, splitting the nut in half to remove it from the bolt or threaded stud. |
