The Malco DS3 Locking Duct Stretcher is a specialized tool designed for HVAC professionals who need to efficiently align and secure duct sections. Here’s a detailed description:

Key Features:

• Locking Mechanism: The DS3 features a locking mechanism that pulls duct sections together and holds them in place, freeing both hands to align and install drive cleats. This makes the installation process more efficient and less cumbersome
• No Need to Adjust Wheels: Simply place the wheel located on the moveable cam to one side of the adjoining duct flanges. Turn the handle downward to pull the duct sections together and lock them in place. This design eliminates the need for wheel adjustments
• Greater Wheel Clearance: The tool provides greater wheel clearance, making it easier to capture the ends of duct sections, even those with misshapen flanges
• Versatile Frame Design: The versatile shape of the DS3 frame allows you to hook and pull duct from above as the drive cleat is coaxed along the remainder of the flanged track
• Durable Construction: The all-steel frame extends beyond the wheel edges, making it safe to push, hammer, and bend drive cleats as necessary to complete the installation. This ensures the tool's durability and long-lasting performance
• Offset Handle: The offset handle design eliminates knuckle contact with the work, providing a more comfortable and ergonomic grip
