Gone will be the loathsome task of removing inspection panels, fuel cell panels, wing root fairings to name a few!
The inherent problem we face is Stainless Steel - SS fasteners being driven into regular steel nutplates, no matter the speed, become almost welded and marred into seated position. It is an issue of dissimilar metals w/o the ability to lubricate when working panels. The next time they are to be removed they don't want to budge! So what happens next is the mech isn't able to apply enough downward force to keep traction on the screw head to back it out, then we end up stripping the screw head, necessitating the need to drill and EZ out, wasting $$ and most importantly our time! Enter T-BAR! By design, the tool is anchored to an existing nutplate, then with leverage is able apply enough downward force to keep the hex bit firmly gripping the screw head, allowing the mech to back it out with confidence and ease...Your welcome!! Who is behind the T-BAR? 20 year veteran of the US Coast Guard - HH65A Helicopter flight mechanic - FAA A&P - FAA Private Pilot - FAA 107 - General Aviation - Corporate jet mechanic - Volvo V70R life support - Bicyclist - surfer - snowboarder - Your new best friend!
