The Bont Rip Jaws is a hot spot removal tool invented by Bont in 1976. This tool is perfect for removing hot spots from the heel of heat-moldable inline skates, ice speed skates, roller skates, and cycling shoes.
The Bont Rip Jaws hot spot removal tool removes hotspots from your boots. A hot spot is an area of discomfort in your boot. Carbon fiber and fiberglass boots only have a very thin layer of padding between your foot and the hard carbon fiber. Sometimes blisters can occur and the Rip Jaws has been designed to push the area of discomfort out to make the boot comfortable to skate in.
Instructions:
1) Remove the laces from your skates or shoes.
2) Heat the area of discomfort with a hairdryer or heat gun until the boots are soft enough to mold. Take it slow, do not overheat. Refer to your boot manufacturer's heat molding instructions.
3) Open the Bont Skate Rip Jaws and use the knob at the end of the handle to open it up widely.
4) Put the Bont Skate Rip Jaws over the problem area and use the same knob to tighten the screw.
5) Pull the handles together so it locks in place.
6) Wait a few minutes for the boot to cool and then unlock the Bont Skate Rip Jaws.
You can do this process multiple times if need be.
Remember that if you have a blister or a painful spot on your foot, it's best to let it heal before testing the boot because your foot will still feel pain if it has not healed.
