DENT FIX EQUIPMENT

Shunting Pliers

The Dent Fix Shunting Pliers allow nonconductive coated metals, like an E-Coat, to
accept squeeze-type resistance spot welding.

The Dent Fix Shunting Pliers, No. DF-SP360,
allow non-conductive coated metals, like an E-coat,
to accept squeeze-type resistance spot welding
(STRSW). The heavy duty copper pads and thick
wire attachments shunt or redirect the current to
bypass the non-conductive coating and eliminate
the need to remove the entire coating. To use,
remove the coating from only the outside surfaces,
position the shunting clamp at the spot weld site,
and the spot weld is made at the adjacent site.
The current chooses the path of least resistance
when confronting the non-conductive E-coat, the
shunting pliers facilitate the electrical current from
one side to the other, and the E-coat at the mating
surface burns away.

APPLICATION

Allows for STRSW and weld bonding of
panels with non-conductive coatings
like E-coat or adhesives.

ORIGIN

Dent Fix developed this version of the tool in
response to the large number of frustrated
customers who, after reading the iCAR
bulletin, were unable to source the tool
themselves, according to the company.
As a result, the Dent Fix Shunting Pliers, No.
DF-SP360, were born, and now much of the
factory-installed E-coatings on vehicles can
be saved during the repair process.

SELLING POINTS
* During the STRSW process, iCAR requires
shunting of the current for the first weld
when there is a nonconductive coating like
E-coat or adhesive on the mating flanges.
* When weld bonding, iCAR requires a
dedicated shunting clamp to be used for
the best weld performance.
* Helps save the corrosion protective
properties of the E-coat since less is
removed using shunting pliers.

MANUFACTURING SPECS

Researched, developed, and engineered
in the U.S.A. Made in Taiwan.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS
* Shunts the current - allows for STRSW
and weld bonding of panels with
non-conductive coatings like E-coat
or adhesives.
* Thick copper wire and pads allow
for easy current flow for optimal
weld conditions.
* Saves protective E-coat during the repair
process - most of the E-coat on the mating
surfaces can be preserved when replacing a
part with STRSW through the use of a
shunting clamp. The E-coat only has to
be removed on the outside surfaces. The
shunting clamp is positioned at the first
weld site and the first spot weld is made at
the adjacent site.
* Easy to use - works like most clamp pliers
and holds firmly in place.
