Huck-Engineered Unlike conventional nuts and bolts, which have gaps on the thread flanks even when tightened, the BobTail system is designed for full metal-to-metal contact around the bolt thread by the collar. An installed BobTail has no gaps and delivers a more secure connection, providing reliability even in the most severe environments.
