Essential Tool for Die Blade Removal
In the die-making and packaging industry, removing worn or damaged steel rules requires precision and a tool that protects the die board. This manual knife pulling tool, also known as a steel rule puller or die blade puller, is engineered specifically to extract cutting rules, creasing rules, and perforating rules without causing damage to the plywood die board.
Designed for both flat and rotary dies, this tool ensures safe, efficient, and controlled rule extraction for professional die makers.
Key Features
1. Damage-Free Rule Extraction
The jaw structure of the die blade puller is specially designed to grip the steel rule firmly while applying minimal pressure to the wooden die board.
This ensures clean removal without cracking, chipping, or deforming the die board surface.
2. Comfortable & Ergonomic Handle
The non-slip rubber-coated handle ensures a comfortable and secure grip, reducing hand fatigue during repeated extractions — especially useful in high-volume die shops.
3. Heavy-Duty Alloy Construction
Built from hardened stainless steel or chrome-vanadium steel, the steel rule puller withstands continuous industrial use.
Heat-treated jaws maintain durability and precise clamping force even after thousands of operations.
4. Slim, Precision Jaw Design
The angled narrow-tip jaws easily reach tight corners and complex die patterns, allowing technicians to remove blades even in narrow slots or dense layouts.
5. Multi-Functional Application
This manual knife pulling tool is ideal for:
- Removing cutting rules (2pt / 3pt / 4pt)
- Extracting creasing rules and perforation rules
- Flatbed die boards (corrugated, folding carton, gasket dies)
- Rotary die board maintenance
- Die board repair and blade replacement tasks
