This single step application allows the user to work in hard to reach & awkward areas without having to fumble with separate nuts and washers. The Tailwasher Plus fastener allows the application of a nut and washer at any angle or location without the worry of dropping a nut or washer, which in turn would damage moving components, not to mention the loss of time to retrieve the dropped items. Once the Tailwasher Plus fastener has been located in its desired location, the tightening of the fastener can occur by either turning the bolt, or by holding the tail and breaking the nut loose from the washer as it is tightened with a wrench. The Tail is then bent & removed after desired torque is reached, leaving a clean and neat installation. |
