While the strength of HuckBolts is a key characteristic , HuckBolts also offer several important time-saving features . Installation of these fasteners usually requires less than two seconds . As they are swaged fasteners ( cold forged onto the pin during the installation process by the tooling ), they never need retightening or re-torquing , even in the most vibrationintensive application .
