Zephyr Hi-LokŪ Removal Pliers offer a quick and inexpensive alternative for removing any frangible hex collars such as Hi-Lok, Hi-Lite, Hi-Tigue, Veri-Lite and C-Lok fasteners. The hardened steel jaws are specially designed to maximize the gripping surface around the collar. This allows the ZHP-100 pliers to grip 5/32",3/16", 1/4" and 5/16" fastener sizes.

Zephyr's Lok-Fast hand tool product line also includes its ZRWA Reversible Ratchet Wrenches, ZRDA Roller Drive Wrenches and its QRSŪ Ratchet Wrench Assemblies. All are ideally suited for the installation of any frangible hex collar fastener system such as Hi-LokŪ, Hi-Lite©, Hi-Tigue©, Veri-Lite© and C-Lok©. The ZATHR series ratchet has 72 teeth offering minimum handle swing for close quarter applications.The assembly consists of a 1/4" or 3/8" square drive reversible ratchet wrench with a through hole, a socket with a set screw and hex key with either a plastic screwdriver handle or a "T" handle.

The ZRDW80 features a one piece hot forged handle construction for maximum strength. In addition, its bright yellow knurled handle reduces the chance of FOD. Minimum edge and height clearance plus a minimum handle swing angle allows easy access to the most restricted close quarter applications.

The QRSŪ Ratchet Wrench series incorporates Zephyr’s exclusive Quick Release Hex Key System. The QRSŪ Quick Release System is a quick and easy way to replace the QRK hex tip. QRSŪ eliminates the need for any external tools to replace a hex tip.
