Sykes-Pickavant has long been a trusted name in professional maintenance tools, and our latest innovation takes nut-splitting efficiency to an entirely new level. Building on the success of our mechanical models, we’re proud to launch a complete range of hydraulic nut splitters designed for technicians who need maximum power, speed, and safety when dealing with seized, rusted or damaged fasteners.

This new range brings together our proven splitter head design with the robust output of the 180000V2 12-tonne hydraulic ram, eliminating manual labour and delivering consistent, controlled cutting force for industrial-grade performance.

Whether you're maintaining heavy machinery, working offshore, or handling routine automotive repairs, these new tools deliver reliability where it matters most.

Why Hydraulic? The Need for More Power

Traditional nut splitters rely on manual screw mechanisms—effective, but slower and more labour-intensive. With modern machinery growing larger and fasteners becoming tougher, technicians need a tool that can keep up.

The new Sykes-Pickavant hydraulic range replaces manual operation with a ram-actuated system, delivering effortless force where you need it. This not only speeds up the job but massively reduces operator fatigue, improving safety and cutting precision.

The New Hydraulic Nut Splitter Line-Up

The range consists of five key part numbers, covering hex nuts from M6 to M24, with both standalone heads and complete hydraulic sets available:

03370000 – Hydraulic Nut Splitter M6–M16 (Without Ram): Perfect for users who already own a hydraulic ram and need a compact, high-strength splitter head suitable for smaller automotive and industrial nuts.

03371000 – 12T Hydraulic Nut Splitter M6–M16: A complete setup featuring the M6–M16 splitter head paired with the 180000V2 12-tonne hydraulic ram. Ready to go straight out of the box.

03370500 – Hydraulic Nut Splitter M10–M24 (Without Ram): Ideal for larger and more demanding applications, offering powerful nut-splitting performance for industrial maintenance environments.

03371500 – 12T Hydraulic Nut Splitter M10–M24: The full kit for heavy-duty users needing maximum performance from M10 through to M24 steel and stainless steel nuts.

03372500 – 12T Hydraulic Nut Splitter Set (M6–M24): The ultimate all-in-one solution. This kit includes both splitter heads (M6–M16 and M10–M24) and the 180000V2 ram, covering the full M6–M24 range in one professional package.

Key Features:

Each model features the same precision-engineered cutting head used in our trusted mechanical nut splitters, combining a hardened blade and high-strength body to provide dependable performance on seized, corroded or overtightened nuts. Designed to handle a wide variety of applications, the range is suitable for plant and industrial maintenance, petrochemical and offshore environments, automotive repair, marine engineering, heavy construction work and just anywhere seized nuts need safe, non-impact removal. With the ability to cut steel nuts up to M24 (grade 8.8) and stainless-steel nuts up to M22, the hydraulic system improves safety by reducing physical strain and minimising the risk of slippage, while offering smooth, predictable cutting force. Its compact, rugged design ensures it performs reliably in tight spaces and demanding field conditions.

Spare Parts Available:

To extend the life of your investment, we supply:

• Replacement cutting blades
• Pushing pieces

These are simple to fit, keeping your tool operating at peak performance.

Conclusion: Power, Precision & Professional Performance

The new Sykes-Pickavant Hydraulic Nut Splitter range delivers a powerful upgrade for technicians needing reliable nut removal without the strain. With the trusted durability of Sykes-Pickavant engineering and the muscle of a 12-tonne hydraulic ram, these tools provide a safer, faster and more efficient solution for professional maintenance teams.
