Portable hand or power tools are needed for proper fastener installation when using Bolt Solid Plate or Bolt Hinged fasteners. Impact wrench driven power tools are recommended since they can speed installation time by at least 50%. To use power tools, a Quick Change Chuck is required to adapt Flexco tools.
Belt Punches or Boring Bits are used to punch holes through the belt. A punch is preferred for general use where belt cover is over 3/16" (5mm) thick.
Power Wrenches and Wrenches, designed to be used in a carpenter's brace, are used to tighten the nuts of the bolt fasteners.
