What type of tool is required to install the Hi-Lok collars?

The installation of Hi-Lok collars requires a specific tool known as a pneumatic Hi-Lok collar runner. This tool is designed to efficiently and precisely install Hi-Lok fasteners, which are commonly used in aerospace applications due to their reliability and strength. The pneumatic collar runner utilizes compressed air to drive the collar into place, ensuring that it is installed correctly and securely.

Using a pneumatic tool streamlines the installation process and allows for consistent torque application, which is critical for maintaining the integrity of the assembly. This is particularly important in the aerospace industry, where components must meet strict safety and performance standards.

In contrast, manual screwdrivers, electric drills, and wrenches are not suited for the specific requirements of Hi-Lok collar installation. Manual screwdrivers may not provide the necessary torque or control, electric drills may not offer the precision needed, and wrenches are not designed for collar installation in this context. All these tools lack the specific functionality that a pneumatic Hi-Lok collar runner provides, making it the essential choice for this task.
