HuckLok is the latest fastening innovation from Telford-based Huck Fasteners.
Ideally used in thin sheet metal applications, HuckLok will initially be available in steel, with stainless-steel and aluminium versions to follow.
Although competitively priced, the benefits of HuckLok to potential and existing customers are numerous.
Allan Binstead, European Commercial Director at Huck, explains: "For an engineer designing any sort of industrial structure, for example, the HuckLok is a first.
Its large grip range coupled with a very high clamp force and a unique double locking system, results in maximum joint integrity and fatigue life.
In the areas of logistics, purchasing, quality and on the shop floor, there are a number of benefits.
Ease of fastener identification may reduce potential mistakes and through increased safety lead to a reduction in warranty claims.
HuckLok's strength and the potential to replace up to fifteen fasteners used in a range of jobs with just one, allows operators to make their product faster".
Huck Fasteners will be promoting the new HuckLok at a number of exhibitions during spring 2003.
