Is maintenance required for Invert-A-Bolt™ fasteners?
Maintenance is generally limited to replacement of the stud when damaged or the hex is stripped out. However, all the internal components of the fastener can be easily replaced either individually or with a refurbishment kit. To limit maintenance issues it is very important to use the plastic cap that is shipped with the fastener when the fastener is not in use. The cap is provided so as to prevent debris from entering the fastener when not in use. Also, to improve the life of the hex in the stud, use a ball-end hex wrench.
