Overview
Whittet-Higgins BLAS-16 Locknut
The Whittet-Higgins BLAS-16 is a single-piece Bearlok assembly socket (installation tool) used to safely install, adjust and preload BL/BLM Bearlok bearing retaining nuts and other Whittet-Higgins spanner-slotted locknuts. The hardened-steel socket encapsulates the locknut's outside diameter and drives all four spanner slots at once, while a standard square drive connects it to ratchets, torque wrenches or pneumatic drivers for accurate, damage-free preloading. It provides more than two inches of clearance over shaft and spindle ends, uses replaceable tool-steel drive pins, and is rated for operation to 300°F.

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.
