Duo Profil is used for crimping metal studs back-to-back or fixing studs to tracks without screws. It mechanically locks profiles together, making it ideal for reinforced metal frames, tall partitions and ceilings where strong, reliable connections are required.
Crimping is faster than screwing and avoids using extra fixings. Duo Profil creates a strong mechanical lock in one squeeze, reducing installation time and maintaining a clean, flat frame without protruding screw heads.
Yes. It is especially recommended for partitions and ceilings above 2.50 m, where studs are often doubled back-to-back for strength. Duo Profil makes these reinforced connections quick, safe and consistent.
Duo Profil is designed for a maximum capacity of approximately 1 + 1 mm combined metal thickness. This covers most common light-gauge drywall studs and tracks used in interior partition systems.
Yes. The tool is straightforward: position it on the profiles and squeeze the handles to crimp. With a little practice, even beginners can achieve strong, consistent connections without needing to pre-drill or align screws.
No. While Duo Profil can replace screws at many connection points, some designs or local standards may still require additional mechanical fasteners. It is mainly intended for stud-to-stud or stud-to-track joints within metal framing systems.
It is suitable for most standard drywall metal studs and tracks, especially around 70–90 mm width and similar sizes. Always ensure combined thickness does not exceed the recommended 1 + 1 mm capacity.
No, when used correctly. Crimping forms a localized deformation which locks the two profiles together without significantly reducing overall section strength. It is a widely accepted method for light-gauge steel framing assembly.
A proper crimp will visibly lock both metal profiles together without gaps, and the joint should feel solid when pulled or pushed. If the connection feels loose, repeat the crimp or check metal thickness and tool position.
Keep the jaws clean and free from metal burrs, and occasionally check for wear on the punch area. Store the plier in a dry place and avoid dropping it to preserve alignment and crimping accuracy.
