Huck lockbolts are a precision engineered two-piece fastening
system. Bobtail can be installed in intensive vibration environments.
They provide a direct metal to metal contact which eliminates the
transverse vibration often found in conventional nuts and bolts.
Huckbolts deliver superior joining, shear and tensile strength for an
unmatched fastening solution.
