What is a Huck tool?
Huck® Lockbolts are precision engineered two-piece fasteners that, once installed, no matter how vibration-intensive the environment, never come loose. The pin and swaged collar combine to form the installed fastener. The squeezing action reduces the diameter of the collar, increasing its length.

How does Huck work?

Is a huck bolt a rivet?
Huck structural rivets are a one-piece fastener that work a little differently to standard rivets, as there is an internal mechanism that locks a portion of the pin (mandrel) inside the rivet’s body. This creates an additional layer of material that assists in increasing the rivets strength.
How are huck bolts installed?
Whereas conventional bolts are set using a nut, a Huck bolt is set using a permanent sleeve or collar that fits around a grooved pin. The collar is fitted into a pre-drilled hole and as the collar is tightened, it is squeezed and forced into the grooves of the pin to swage the collar.
