Product Overview
Improvised picks can cut, pinch, or overstretch a flexible rod seal while it is being worked into an internal gland. These three twistor tools temporarily fold the seal into an omega shape so it can pass through a smaller opening.
Each twistor temporarily reduces the seal profile so it can be guided into its internal groove. Seal cross-section and gland size must remain within the chosen tool range.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can it install hard PTFE seals? A: Usually not; stiff seals may need sizing cones or dedicated tools.
Q: Which size should be used? A: Use the stated gland/rod range and maximum cross-section.
Q: Can the seal remain twisted? A: No. Verify it returns fully and faces the correct direction.
