According to the companies, the BT 3500's ultra ergonomic design positions the battery and pump in a separate unit which can be either worn by the operator in several different configurations or set up on a benchtop. The system comes with a standard shoulder strap; an optional belt and four-point harness are also available to permit a total custom fit.
The tool's small, rotatable crimp head delivers application flexibility and the ability to reach tight spaces, allowing the operator to easily find the most comfortable and efficient position for any job.
