If you're using a nut and bolt in a joint, but your joint doesn't need the compression that nuts and bolts offer, then you're only slowing down your assembly process. Many bolts that are in double-shear applications can be replaced with a SLIC Pin. SLIC Pins feature a spring-loaded plunger that acts as a self-contained cotter pin - just insert the SLIC Pin and the plunger automatically pops into place to retain it. Especially in pivoting joints where over-torquing can be a risk, SLIC Pins are a faster and fool-proof way to improve your assembly process.
