The new Huck® Range Force™ battery tool, developed in partnership with global tooling experts Makita, has been specifically designed and tested to install the complete range of Huck blind fasteners and lockbolts up to 6.4mm.
Its unique electronically adjustable force control enables the installation of blind rivets as well as both pin-break and pintail-less lockbolts such as BobTail, making it the most versatile battery installation tool available.
The tool complements the existing range of pneumatic, hydraulic and pneudraulic tooling, providing a lightweight, cordless solution perfectly suited to hard to reach, or off-site applications. Even in typical production environments the tool can be used anywhere without the need for proximity to a powerig or air supply, adding flexibility to production as well as reducing system complexity.
“Customers hindered in the past by cables and wiring and proximity to an air supply or heavy powerig now have the flexibility to install Huck blind fasteners and lockbolts in previously inaccessible applications. We’ve seen increased demand from our customers for versatile tooling solutions and our battery tool is helping them solve problems,” explains Joël Melquiot, product manager at Arconic Fastening Systems.
The tool comes in an easy to transport kit with a protective carry case, two batteries and a charger.
