FASTENERS & FIXINGS SPOTLIGHT STAR FASTENERS THE HUCK ® MAGNA-LOK ® STRUCTURAL FASTENER The Huck Magna-Lok is a versatile, hole filling fastener that can be installed with conventional installation tools. It has a unique circle-lock feature, which means a simple visual inspection ensures it is installed properly, 100% of the time. Unlike competitive blind structural rivets, the Magna-Lok doesn’t require a special nose-piece insert in order to be properly installed; the locking mechanism has been engineered into the fastener ensuring the mandrel does not pull through or drop out. With a large grip range, the Magna-Lok is the best gap-pulling fastener available. Like all Huck fasteners, it provides a secure joint and is vibration resistant. • Unique circle-lock feature means simple visual inspection can ensure proper installation. • Available in steel, stainless steel, 316 Stainless Steel, or aluminium. • The hole is completely filled through a radial expansion of the fastener. This can help compensate for uneven, misaligned, or irregular prepared holes • Excellent gap closure ensures strong, secure joint • Flush pin break removes the safety issue associated with a protruding pin • Outstanding hole filling on the blind side adds to joint security and the fasteners resistance to moisture. Available Sizes:  3/16”, 1/4”, 3/8”, 1/2” Materials:  Steel, Aluminium, Stainless Steel, 316 Stainless Steel (ideal for saline environments).
