FTI Big Brute Puller Unit 2720-008-01206
Heavy-Duty Cold Expansion Tool for Aerospace Applications

The FTI Big Brute Puller Unit (Part No. 2720-008-01206) is a powerful, heavy-duty hydraulic tool designed for use with Fatigue Technology’s Split Sleeve Cold Expansion™ (SsCx™) process. Built for demanding aerospace environments, it delivers consistent, high-force performance for improving hole integrity, extending fatigue life and reducing structural stress.

Engineered for reliability and ease of use, the Big Brute is trusted across aerospace manufacturing and maintenance for high-load cold expansion applications in aluminium, steel and titanium.

Key Features

Maximum pull force of 38,000 lbf (169,032 N) at 10,000 psi
Designed for Split Sleeve Cold Expansion™ (SsCx™) applications
Compatible with additional FTI systems including ForceMate® and FleXmate®
Capable of expanding holes up to:
2-1/2″ (63.5 mm) diameter in aluminium
1-1/4″ (31.7 mm) diameter in steel and titanium
Up to 10″ (254 mm) material stack capacity
Fail-safe air control system for safe operation
Supplied with hose assembly, tooling and protective case (model dependent)
Proven design with minimal maintenance requirements

Built for Demanding Applications

The Big Brute puller is specifically developed to pull mandrels through pre-lubricated stainless steel split sleeves, delivering controlled cold expansion in high-strength materials. Its robust construction and high pulling force make it ideal for critical aerospace structures where precision and repeatability are essential. With multiple model configurations available, the Big Brute can be tailored to suit different material stack-ups, hose lengths and tooling requirements.

Which FTI Puller is Right for Your Application?

Little Brute pullers are ideal for smaller diameter holes where portability and manoeuvrability are important.
Medium Brute systems are commonly used across general aerospace manufacturing and MRO environments.
Big Brute pullers are designed for demanding structural applications involving larger holes, thicker materials and higher pull loads.
Jumbo Brute units are intended for specialist heavy-duty applications requiring extremely high pull force.
BBHO Offset Pullers are designed for restricted access areas where standard puller geometry cannot be used.
