The lockbolt combines the features of a high-strength bolt and rivet, but it has advantages over both. The lockbolt is generally used in wing-splice fittings, landing-gear fittings, fuel-cell fittings, longerons, beams, skin-splice plates, and other major structural attachments. It is more easily and quickly installed than the conventional rivet or bolt and eliminates the use of lockwasher, cotter pins, and special nuts. Like the rivet, the lockbolt requires a pneumatic hammer or "pull gun" for installation; when installed, it is rigidly and permanently locked in place. Three types of lockbolts are commonly used, the pull type, the stump type, and the blind type. 2, record 2, English, - lockbolt

... the wedge bolt... is surrounded by an even-sided sleeve that is split at the bottom. To secure the bolt, you must place a wedge(a small metal piece that comes with the bolt) onto the end of the sleeve and hammer them both into the pre-drilled bolt hole. The wedge expands the sleeve into the rock, where it holds securely. 1, record 3, English, - wedge

The pull-type torque-in bolt is similar to a wedge bolt.... the difference between them is that the wedge bolt expands when you pound it with a hammer, while the pull-type bolt expands when you torque it with a wrench(it pulls the wedge into itself). 1, record 3, English, - wedge
