As there are millions of variations to the Solok™ drive socket, your driver key will be specific to you, therefore enhancing the level of security. Every new user gets a Solok™ code to which their screws and tools are made, meaning even somebody else's Solok™ tools will not fit screws made to your code.

Armour Ring™

A simple conical collar which renders a standard hexagon nut or bolt tamper resistant
Armour Ring high security fastener
The Armour Ring™ can be applied to any British or DIN standard hexagon nuts or bolts using a standard hammer or Armour Ring™ installation tool. It leaves a smooth clean finish which is often favoured by Health & Safety executives and isn't governed by a torque level like some one-way fasteners.
