Overview
Whittet-Higgins BASI-02 Bearing assembly socket
The Whittet-Higgins BASI-02 is a Bearing Assembly Socket — an installation tool engineered to install, preload, and secure the company's 16 TPI (16 threads-per-inch) inch-series bearing retainers, namely the NI retaining nuts and BHI Bearhug locknuts. It encapsulates the outside diameter of the locknut to prevent slipping and applies even force through four hardened pins that engage the nut's spanner slots, while a standard square drive connects to ratchets, torque wrenches, or pneumatic drivers. The base socket is carbon steel with hardened tool-steel pins, is rated for a maximum operating temperature of 300°F, and is manufactured in the USA (RoHS compliant).

About the brand
About Whittet-Higgins
Bearing locknuts, lockwashers and retaining devices from Rhode Island since 1914.
Henry Whittet and John Higgins founded the Whittet-Higgins Manufacturing Company in 1914 in the basement of a mill on Congress Avenue in Providence, Rhode Island, making super-precision bearing retaining components and machined parts for local machine builders such as Brown & Sharpe.
In 1967 the company was sold to a young mechanical engineer, and in 1969 it moved to 33 Higginson Avenue in Central Falls, Rhode Island, where it still makes its products. Its first line of 66 locknuts and lockwashers has grown to more than 4,300 standard parts, made on robotic CNC systems.
Besides the standard N/AN and KM locknuts with W and MB lockwashers, Whittet-Higgins makes its own self-locking designs: Bearhug prevailing-torque locknuts, Bearlok, Shoelok and Tangentlok clamping locknuts, clampnuts and splitnuts, plus adapter sets, clamp collars and installation tools. The company is family owned and operated.
