Tools

While many fasteners can be installed or removed with common household tools like screwdrivers, hammers, and pliers, some require specific equipment to get the job done. Fastening tools are typically designed to keep the installation/removal or repair process simple and to facilitate easy, repeatable mechanics to fast-paced industrial applications. Some also provide ways to measure components or spaces within the application.

Quality fastener tools are essential investments if you regularly work with their matching fasteners. Huyett offers a variety of tools to align with your specific fastening needs.

Huyett carries a range of specialty fastening tools for use with specific types of industrial fasteners, including:

Lubrication Tools: Grease fitting tools include grease guns and accessories, grease gun couplers and hoses, installation tools, and oil cans. This range gives you multiple ways to install, grease, and remove different types of zerks. Check out our Grease Gun Tips and Couplers and Grease Gun Types guides to learn more about this equipment.  

Rivet Nut & Blind Threaded Insert Tools: Ranging from manual hand tools to pneumatic and hydraulic powered rivet nut guns, these make rivet nut installation quick and easy. Different types of guns work well in different scenarios - some are ideal for large production applications, others for small custom work, and some are well suited for mobility.

Retaining Ring Tools: Find the perfect applicator, dispenser, or pair of pliers for quick and easy retaining ring installation. Retaining ring pliers and tips install snap rings and housing rings, while applicators install e-clips and poodle clips. Dispensers easily store rings and dispense them in conjunction with an applicator.  

Hose Clamp Tools: This selection includes nut drivers to install worm gear hose clamps, manual and pneumatic pincers to install ear hose clamps, and hose cutters to aid the overall hose clamp application. Huyett offers high-quality clamps and tools through the Oetiker® product line.  

O-Ring Tools: Huyett's o-ring tools include installation picks, rulers, and splicing kits. Get everything you need to measure, cut, and install your o-rings with ease.  

Hog Ring Pliers: This is a very specific tool meant to install hog rings, which are small rings that attach heavy fabrics and similar textiles to mating surfaces (like car seats). These pliers are available in standard and heavy duty options.  

Feeler Gauges: Feeler gauges are ideal for measuring extremely thin spaces to help place shims and spacers in mechanical assemblies. Each leaf on the gauge is a precise thickness and can be inserted in a space to measure the vacant space.  

Driver Wrenches: Also known as hex keys or allen wrenches, help install and remove hexagonal drive type fasteners like bolts and socket screws.  

Thread Repair Tools: These will quickly clean, restore, and redefine any damaged threads. With options for both internal and external threads, these manual thread repair tools work on different types of metals with different hardness levels.
