3M™ T Handle Clutch Roller

A Simple Tool for Smooth, Consistent OEM Attachment Tape Application
Even the best acrylic foam tapes work only if they are applied properly. Our 3M™ T Handle Clutch Roller is designed to ensure you get the tape on correctly the first time. This lightweight, easy-to-use tool is specifically designed for use with 3M™ Acrylic Foam Tapes. It features an extremely smooth-operating padded roller with a spring-loaded, clutch-style brake that holds it in place when not in use. This clutch will only allow the roller to turn freely when the operator applies the correct pressure on the spring to generate a consistent 15 PSI at the bondline – all but ensuring optimal wet out of the foam acrylic tape adhesive to the automotive substrate for maximum adhesion and a sharp, professional appearance. The clutch roller can be pre-tuned by 3M to match specific OEM specifications.

The T handle fits smoothly into the operator’s hand, maximizing tool use and helping reduce operator fatigue. The compact, vertical design of the tool helps ensure precise transfer of pressure from the handle to the roller, and makes for easy tool storage.
