Why Buy A Hi-Lok Installation Tool?
The Hi-Lok is a two part fastener that is highly suitable to the needs of the aviation industry. Integrated function of the system enables consistent torque on each fastener. The self locking Hi Lok collar provides preload values by separating when the correct torque level is met. .

Furthermore, the controlled preload increases the life of the airframe in comparison to other fastening systems. The Hi Lok pin itself is designed to be held still by the installation tool whilst the Hi Lok collar rotates. The more torque applied, the tighter it becomes, however, Hi Lok is designed so that it cannot be over-torqued. This is due to the Hi Lok collars design, which automatically breaks off to eliminate the need for to torque inspection.
