BobTail System

Newly designed BobTail tooling makes the installation process quicker and easier by reducing the force required to install each fastener. More compact and lighter weight than previous Huck lockbolt production tooling, BobTail installation tools also offer greater operator flexibility as well as extended reach into difficult areas. For tight, space-constrained applications, SWAGEFORWARD ® BobTail tools allow the operator to position their hand at a safe distance from the working structure during installation. Smooth-operating BobTail installation tooling directly contributes to longer tool and component life, while allowing extended tool maintenance cycles. As a result, costs for parts and overall support are reduced, while system uptime is increased. Cost-Efficient Operation Cost-Efficient Operation The BobTail fastener is installed without a pin-break, contributing to the dramatic reduction of noise on the shop floor, and subsequently, improved worker hearing safety. Instances of foreign object damage (FOD) and loose pintail injuries are eliminated. Because BobTail tooling features a smooth, shock- free installation sequence, repetitive stress injuries are eliminated, and overall safety is increased.
