A bolt tensioning assembly has a bolt with a first end portion and a second end portion at an opposite side of the bolt. The first end portion has an enlarged diameter to form a counter-pressure surface facing the second end portion. The first end portion has external threads to receive a lock nut. A hydraulic bolt tensioning device is for tensioning of the bolt. The hydraulic bolt tensioning device is arranged for enclosing a portion of the bolt such that it abuts the counter pressure surface. A lock nut is arranged on the first end portion of the bolt. The hydraulic bolt tensioning device and lock nut are dimensioned such that upon tightening of the lock nut, the lock nut will tighten against a portion of the hydraulic bolt tensioning device.

A reaction washer is optimized for lock-on, optional stiction ring and for a predetermined indentation depth of bidirectional serrations for secure reaction torque transfer during initial and full actuation of respective nut or bolt heads resting on it. An optional lock-on ring embedded around the reaction socket is ergonomically actuated to latch on and off underneath the reaction washer. Axial offset of the peak stress areas away from the actuation socket edges provides for reduced actuation socket diameter and consequently for the entire tool and system remaining substantially within radial assembly limits established for prior art actuation sockets alone. A coupling unit is attached to and tightened on a power torque wrench via a clamp tool utilizing the power wrench's own torque. A hand hold groove and a lock able snap release button offset from the coupling castle snap connection contribute to safe and ergonomic operation and system peak performance.

A fastener is provided, including: a driven end including an engaging hole which includes three slots recessed radially and angularly arranged in intervals, each of the three slots being formed as a part of a rectangle and including two right angles, every adjacent two of the three slots defining a rib therebetween.

A device includes a head having a material having a plurality of pores, wherein at least some of the pores from the plurality of pores each have a size that is smaller than a water molecule and larger than an air molecule such that the air molecules can pass through the pores and the water molecules are prevented from passing through the pores; and an elongated body extending from the head and having a thread on an outer surface thereof and having a conduit extending longitudinally through the elongated body to the head. The device is configured to fasten a first surface to a second surface using the thread of the elongated body.

Various embodiments described herein provide a fastener system having straight walled driving surfaces that provides a reliable stick fit feature, while also improving stability of engagement between the system components. A feature of the new system is to allow stick fit engagement of existing standard straight walled drivers in the new system.

The present invention is an adjustable connector with hidden threads for securing and adjusting a glass panel to a structure. The connector has an internally threaded retainer mounted on a fastener which is secured by a fastener and receives an externally threaded telescope. A nut shape lock installed inside the telescope to lock the telescope. By turning the lock, it moves towards the fastener and locks the telescope by pushing the fastener. The lock is a security feature to hold the adjustable standoff in adjusted position and prevents unscrewing the telescope once the cap is uninstalled. The telescope and retainer are threaded internally which are not exposed.

A threaded hook or eye loop has a tool receptacle at the end of the threaded shank with the hook or loop configured for rotary insertion with a power tool or hand tool that directly rotates the threaded shaft.

A connecting element, preferably for fastening a wheel, or rim, to a hub of a vehicle, includes a body having a respective outer perimeter surface which extends along a respective imaginary profile, in particular an imaginary circular profile, there being formed, at the perimeter surface, respective elements for the engagement of corresponding elements or tool for screwing and/or unscrewing the connecting element, and screw thread elements for fastening, preferably to the vehicle hub. The engagement elements include a plurality of perpendicularly extending and circumferentially distributed engagement troughs which are recessed relative to the imaginary outer profile and each being separated from the adjacent trough by a respective outer perimeter transit zone. The outer transit zone has a width (r) which is less than the width (i) of the trough, and in particular, a width (r) which is less than half the width of the trough.
