Introducing the RATDCHK08: The Complete Battery-Powered Lockbolt Tool Kit for Truck Cab & Trailer Repairs

When you're working on truck cab body repairs, trailer maintenance, or mobile heavy-duty repair, having the freedom to work without an air hose can make the job faster and easier.

That's where the RATDCHK08 Complete Truck Cab Kit comes in.

The RATDCHK08 is a professional battery-powered lockbolt installation tool designed for truck repair shops, owner-operators, mobile technicians, fleet maintenance departments, and other heavy-duty repair applications.

Delivering 5,000 pounds of pulling force in a lightweight 4.5 lb. design, the RATDCHK08 combines professional lockbolt installation capability with the convenience and portability of an 18V lithium-ion battery platform.

Built for Real Truck Cab & Trailer Repair Applications

The RATDCHK08 was designed around the fasteners technicians encounter during everyday truck cab body work.

Whether you're replacing cab panels, repairing a trailer, working on a chrome grille, or completing a sleeper conversion, the RATDCHK08 provides a versatile cordless lockbolt installation tool that can go wherever the job takes you.

Typical applications include:

  • Truck cab body repairs

  • Truck body panel replacement

  • Trailer repairs

  • Fleet maintenance

  • Chrome grille installation

  • Sleeper conversions

  • Mobile truck repair

  • Commercial vehicle repair

For owner-operators, independent repair shops, and mobile technicians, the RATDCHK08 provides a convenient solution without requiring an air compressor or hydraulic power unit.

One Complete Kit for Multiple Fastener Systems

Having the right installation tool is only part of the job. You also need the correct nose assembly for the fastener you're installing.

That's why the RATDCHK08 Complete Truck Cab Kit includes nose assemblies for several of the most commonly used fasteners found throughout truck cab body work.

The kit is equipped to install:

  • 3/16" Magna-Grip® fasteners

  • 1/4" Magna-Grip® fasteners

  • 3/16" C6® fasteners

  • 3/16"–1/4" Magna-Lok® blind fasteners

Instead of carrying multiple installation tools, technicians can change nose assemblies and tackle several common truck cab applications using the same battery-powered tool.

One tool. Multiple fasteners. Cordless freedom.

5,000 Pounds of Battery-Powered Pulling Force

The RATDCHK08 delivers 5,000 lbs. of pulling force, providing the power needed for common lockbolt and structural blind fastener applications used throughout truck cab body repair.

Its 0.55-inch stroke and compact battery-powered design make it an excellent choice for professionals who want lockbolt installation capability without being connected to shop air.

Cordless Freedom for the Shop or the Road

One of the biggest advantages of the RATDCHK08 is simple:

No air hose. No compressor connection. No hydraulic power unit.

Its 18V lithium-ion battery platform gives technicians the freedom to move around truck cabs, trailers, and equipment without dragging an air hose behind them.

Compatible with Popular Industry Tooling

The RATDCHK08 is designed to use the same 3/4-inch diameter nose assemblies commonly used with several popular Huck® and Gage Bilt® lockbolt installation tools.

Compatible tooling includes:

  • Huck® 202

  • Huck® 210

  • Huck® 212

  • Huck® 244

  • Huck® 229

  • Huck® 230

The RATDCHK08 can also be compared with tools such as the Gage Bilt® 110A and Huck® B4600.

This compatibility gives repair shops and technicians greater flexibility when selecting nose assemblies while making it easier to integrate the RATDCHK08 into an existing lockbolt tooling setup.

Built Around the Fasteners Used in Truck Cab Repair

Different areas of a truck cab require different fastening systems, which is why versatility is an important part of the RATDCHK08 Complete Truck Cab Kit.

Magna-Grip® fasteners are commonly used throughout truck cab body panel applications.

C6® fasteners can be used for chrome grille bolt applications.

Magna-Lok® structural blind fasteners provide a solution for applications where access may only be available from one side, including certain sleeper conversion and truck body applications.

With the proper included nose assembly, technicians can move between these applications using one cordless installation tool.
