Description

Safety Wire Nut and Imperial Bolt Drill Jig Kit

Brief Overview

This two-piece drill jig kit is engineered for maintenance technicians and assembly professionals who need consistent, accurate safety wire hole placement across bolt heads and nuts. The kit combines a precision clamp mechanism with a threaded guide block, ensuring clean diagonal holes without drift or damage to fasteners. If your shop works across both imperial and metric standards, consider pairing this with metric-compatible drill jigs or a dual-standard safety wire jig to cover your full fastener range.

Key Features

  • Two-piece modular design: Dedicated nut drill jig (clamp) and imperial bolt drill jig (threaded block) for focused functionality
  • Imperial bolt compatibility: Threaded guide block sized for 1/4-20 fasteners and related imperial specifications
  • Controlled hole diameter: Accepts drill bits up to 3.5mm, preventing oversized or poorly-positioned safety wire holes
  • Diagonal hole capability: Clamp mechanism positions bolts and nuts to allow drilling safety wire holes across the diagonal
  • Cast iron clamp with adjustment screw: Hex-socket adjustment for secure, repeatable workpiece clamping
  • Internally threaded guide block: Machined aluminum or steel with visible threaded inserts for precise bit guidance
  • Two-hole locating system: Ensures bolt or nut alignment and prevents rotation during drilling

Business Advantages for Resellers

  • Proven workshop essential: Safety wire jigs are recurring purchase items for aircraft maintenance, automotive restoration, and industrial assembly shops
  • Bulk order margin: Low per-unit cost with strong resale value—shops buy in multiples to outfit benches
  • Complementary product family: Stock this alongside metric variants to serve shops with diverse fastener inventories
  • Low defect rate: Mechanical design with no moving parts reduces warranty claims and support overhead
  • Cross-sell opportunity: Customers buying imperial kits often need metric alternatives; bundle recommendations increase cart value

Value Proposition

This kit eliminates the guesswork from safety wire hole placement, protecting fastener integrity while ensuring quick, repeatable results. For shops that drill these holes weekly or daily, the time saved and scrap reduction justify immediate stock. The modular design allows technicians to work on both bolts and nuts without tool changes, reducing bench clutter and setup time.

Stock this for steady margin and reliable customer retention.
