Fastcap 4-1/2 FlipBolt is a tite joint fastener designed to pull two workpieces together by using a bolt that tightens when its lever is pushed. The 4-1/2 inch length gives you reach for typical tite joint layouts, so you can span the joint area cleanly while keeping the mechanism accessible from the cutout. The zinc construction provides a metal body that stands up to normal shop use, which supports repeat assembly and disassembly on cabinetry or similar projects. This FlipBolt is part of the Tite Joints and Dog Bones product class, so it serves where strong, hidden joint clamping is needed in woodworking builds. The design focuses on creating a tight, repeatable joint using a simple flipping action, which helps streamline assembly steps once the cutout and mounting are prepared.
This Fastcap FlipBolt is installed by placing the bolt in a prepared cutout, then hand tightening the nut before pushing the lever to tighten the joint. Using a template to create the cutout standardizes placement, which supports a repeatable routing or machining process when setting up multiple joints. The hand tightening step means you do not rely on powered tools at the joint, which can simplify work in tight spaces. Once the nut is set, the lever-driven tightening pulls the workpieces together, so the final joint closure happens with a controlled motion instead of ongoing wrench work. This sequence keeps the main time investment in the layout and cutout steps, while the actual pull-up of the joint is handled quickly through the FlipBolt mechanism.
The Fastcap 4-1/2 FlipBolt is part of the Fasteners category under Tite Joint Fasteners, which positions it for use joining two sections where a strong internal pull is needed. Within the Tite Joints and Dog Bones product class, this FlipBolt works in assemblies that benefit from a hidden clamping point inside routed or machined cutouts. The requirement to place the FlipBolt in a cutout means it fits workflows that already involve routing or machining for joint hardware. Using a template for the cutout helps align each fastener in a consistent spot, which is important when multiple joints share the same layout across longer workpieces. The 4-1/2 inch length supports these cabinet or panel-style joints by reaching across material and locating the lever where it can be accessed from the cutout opening.
The lever-driven tightening is central to how this Fastcap FlipBolt works, because the bolt tightens when the lever is pushed after the nut has been hand tightened. This separates the setup torque from the final clamping motion, which allows installers to dial in the nut position, then use the lever to pull the joint fully tight in one movement. That workflow is valuable when repeating the same joint several times, since the hand tight nut position can be repeated by feel and the lever motion completes the joint consistently. The availability of a template for the cutout supports this repeatability, as every routed opening lines up with the FlipBolt length and geometry. This connection between standardized cutouts and the bolt length helps keep each lever in the expected location, which reduces adjustments during assembly runs and keeps joints uniform.
The Fastcap 4-1/2 FlipBolt is a tite joint fastener in the Tite Joints and Dog Bones class, so it is intended to pull workpieces together from inside a cutout for strong internal joints.
The Fastcap FlipBolt is first hand tightened at the nut, then the bolt tightens when the lever is pushed, so the final clamping force is applied with a single lever motion at the joint.
The Fastcap FlipBolt is placed in a cutout so the fastener body sits inside the material, keeping the joint mechanism concealed while remaining reachable from the cutout opening for tightening.
The 4-1/2 inch length of the Fastcap FlipBolt lets the fastener span typical joint layouts, helping it draw adjacent pieces together while positioning the lever where it can be accessed.
A template is available for the Fastcap FlipBolt cutout, which supports consistent routing locations so each opening aligns with the bolt length and lever position across multiple joints.
The FLIP-BOLT, ZINC, 4-1/2 description indicates a zinc FlipBolt body, giving a metal construction suited to typical shop environments where tite joint fasteners are used repeatedly.
The Fastcap 4-1/2 FlipBolt combines a 4-1/2 inch bolt length with lever-driven tightening and cutout placement, giving a fastener aimed at tite joint applications that use routed openings. The zinc construction and Tite Joints and Dog Bones product class connect it directly to woodworking joints that rely on internal clamping hardware. For installers and shop teams setting up repeated joints, the hand tightened nut, push-lever action, and available cutout template work together to support a steady workflow. Choose this FlipBolt when a 4-1/2 inch tite joint fastener with lever activation and cutout-based installation matches your planned joint layout.
