Heatable tool for heating pipe connector sleeves.

摘要

A heatable tool primarily for heating a pipe connector sleeve in order to melt solder provided therein, or applied thereto to secure it to a pipe, comprises a pair of hingedly connected arms (1) each of which at one and the same end has an electrically heatable element (3) disposed in thermally conductive relation to a head part (4) which is formed with a part-circular recess (4a), the arms being movable between an open position in which the part-circular recesses (4a) are spaced apart and a position in which the part-circular recesses (4a) can be closed together around a pipe connector sleeve so as to apply heat thereto.
