Discover the classic American story of an inventor with a passion for problem solving; repeated attempts at a solution; and finally achieving success on the eighth iteration – that’s the story of Stage 8 Locking Fasteners.

The story begins with founder and CEO Bruce Bennett’s Harley-Davidson Shovelhead motorcycle….

I loved my Shovelhead, and like a lot of motorcycle owners, regularly worked on my own bike. Replacing a new exhaust pipe was a cinch—until the pipe fell off on the first day out of the box! Surveying the bolt, I realized there was nothing preventing it from working loose again—and again. As much as I liked my bike, I wasn’t interested in replacing the same bolt every month for the rest of my life! I decided to do something about it.
