The talon fastener was designed to give the end user the ability to install a bolt where access to the rear of the bolt is unavailable for the placement of the nut (i.E. Walls, tanks, floors, etc). For additional safety, the talon fastener has a built in, spring loaded locking device to prevent accidental release of the fastener after installation. This provides the end user with a visual indication when the talon fastener is properly engaged. Having the ability to provide quick and secure attachment points, utilizing a single person, equates to savings by reducing material and labor cost.
