Spotlight: Huck® Stainless Steel Auto-Bulb® Structural Blind Fastener
An easy-to-Install Bulbing Fastening System for Superior Blind Side Strength.
The Auto-Bulb works by clamping the joint with a broad, blind side bulb, this makes it a good choice for use within thin materials, and within oversized, misaligned, or slotted holes. Unlike other bulbing blind fasteners, Auto-Bulb’s unique bulbing system creates superior blind side bearing strength. Auto-Bulb is available in 400 stainless steel for corrosion resistance and steel.

Huck structural blind fasteners are Howmet’s answer to loosening and vibration challenges. Engineered with a unique locking design, an internal lock is created during installation that virtually eliminates pin push-out by mechanically locking the pin to the sleeve. Simple, visual inspections ensure joint integrity. In applications where vibration resistance, reliability, and strong hold are critical, no fastening system is more dependable than Huck.
