Bolt Byte Tools is proud to announce that it has been awarded an NSN for the UH-60 PMI2 kit. The kit consists of 66 panels and 2 Pelican cases. These panels are specifically designed to mirror the parts being taken off of the aircraft. As the hardware is removed it is placed into the matching patented hole and is held securely until it is removed to be reinstalled. Our products will speed up reassembly, provide accountability, and prevent FOD. Tests that have been done with our PMI kit, on average, have reduced the downtime by over 20 hours. Getting the aircraft back in the air approximately 2 ½ days sooner. This decreases downtime and increases readiness. The panels can be used over and over. Various kits have been in the maintainer’s hands for 7 years plus. They have a 1-year warranty and are made and assembled here in the USA. Aviation maintenance is an ongoing apprenticeship program requiring daily supervision. New maintainers can accomplish their tasks faster with the Bolt Byte maintenance boards without sacrificing quality or standards. Other products we offer are glass and floor panel maintenance kits. The UH-60 Floor panels have a unique design, due to the panel’s thickness, which enables the soldier to place our panel on the floor during teardown. This makes their process faster during reinstallation. A work order form is included on each board for personal accountability and is signed off upon removal and re-installation. In addition, an optional QR code may be placed on the board to enable mechanics to record and store information as needed. Use of these boards improves both team and individual efficiency.

UH-60 Bolt Byte PanelsThis system was primarily designed for use during heavy maintenance such as PMI inspections or just sections can be used specific tasks. This system greatly enhances the process and greatly reduces the risk of FOD through its use… thus reducing the time required to search for hardware.

It kept our phase area much more organized and reduced the possibility of FOD. Another big factor was that the hardware was clearly marked and organized so that the mechanics weren’t “digging” through a bag of hardware searching for the correct screw/bolt, etc.
