How It Works
Three steps. One audible click. Done.
The HD OneTouch Coupler engages the reinforcing bar on insertion using an internal spring-loaded serrated jaw mechanism — creating a positive mechanical connection confirmed by an audible click.
Installation
Push, push, complete.
No bar-end threading, no rotation, no welding and no specialised installation tools.

A spring-loaded serrated jaw lock.
The internal mechanism locks and secures the bar with its serrated grip jaws in a one-click action — tested and assessed against relevant Australian requirements.
