What is the Rittal Multitool?
The Rittal Multitool is a multifunctional hand tool for use with Rittal AX and VX enclosure systems. An electrical enclosure is a cabinet used to house electrical components such as control panels, wiring, and automation equipment. These enclosures often require precise handling during transport, installation and maintenance.
The Rittal Multitool is made from a mix of stainless steel, die-cast zinc, and durable plastic. This ensures it is strong enough for industrial use while remaining lightweight at around 0.3 kg. It's ergonomic, compact and versatile design means you can complete multiple tasks without switching up implements. Which means quicker and easier jobs, a lighter utility belt or more room in your tool box.
Key Features Explained
1. Door Lifting and Handling
One of the Rittal Multitool's standout features is its ability to allow a single person to lift and align enclosure doors up to 40 kg during installation and removal. This reduces your risk of injury when your lazy co-worker shows up late and you have to start without them.
2. Temporary Door Stay
When working inside an enclosure, you don't want the door slamming on your head or your hands. The Rittal Multitool acts as a temporary door holder, keeping the door steady while you work. This improves safety and convenience, especially in tight spaces, and helps preserve your face and fingers.
3. Hinge Pin Installation and Removal
Hinge pins are small metal rods that hold enclosure doors in place. Removing or installing them can be tricky without the right tool. The Rittal Multitool includes a dedicated function to allow you to fit pins into place and pull them out quick smart.
4. Enclosure Key (Double-Bit)
The multitool includes a built-in double-bit enclosure key, giving you access to standardised enclosure locks while saving space and weight on your keyring.
5. Packaging Cutter
The integrated blade allows you to cut tape, card and plastic wrapping cleanly and safely without the need for a separate knife or risk of damaging your enclosure or your fingies.
6. Magnetic Holder
A smart little feature is the built-in magnet. Tired of drawings and documents falling into your enclosure or blowing away while you're working? Clamp them directly onto the enclosure surface like your kids' pictures on the fridge, ensuring you can keep eyes on them while you crack on.
7. Bottle Opener
Most important of all, the multitool includes a bottle opener for those all-important refreshment breaks. Rittal really have thought of everything.
