Did you know that Allfasteners, and our cell tower division AF Tower, can come to your location and provide you with more information regarding our products? It’s called lunch and learn, and it allows consumers to gather more information about our company, products and personnel to better understand what makes us the place for All Things Fastening. 

In the wireless and broadcast infrastructure industry tower modifications can be dangerous excursions if the proper safety measures are not in place. That’s why our cell tower division – AF Tower – created the safety climb assemblies.

Protecting your metal, mainly steel, structures from corrosion, dust or any environmental element has been sought after for decades. One of the most used techniques for doing such a thing has been galvanizing, due to its ability to extend the lifespan of the materials through a protective barrier. 

Most consumers know shims to be made from solid polypropylene, and that they are ideal for window and door frame leveling, plus floor joist, wall and ceiling batten or joinery packing. What most consumers may not know is that these polypropylene shims have a metal counterpart for use in other industries. 

Allfasteners is America’s destination for All Things Fastening, and we have some big news that will help us provide all things fastening even faster. Allfasteners is excited to announce that as of October 18, 2019 our NEW Allfasteners’ Retail Store is now open!

Having ICC-ESR 3975 approval on our NexGen2™ Bolts makes our bolts compliant for most any job requirement. With approvals on a wide range of bolts sizes, Allfasteners can provide the supplies you need for every tower modification. This now includes a new streamlined way to install these bolts.

For anchor bolts, eyebolts, scaffolding and threaded rod embedment, the best way to test the fasteners strength and durability is by performing a pull test. And the best way to perform a pull test is with a pull tester.

Aviation snips typically have three different colored handles – red, green and yellow – and this is not to make them look more appealing to the eye. Instead this color coding actually informs the user as to what each specific tool is capable of doing.

When it comes to general fastening applications into concrete most might not know what to use. Unlike other substrates that have a ton of tools and options for completing such tasks, concrete requires a more unique type of fastener to get the job done – the conveniently named concrete anchor.

When using structural bolts most wonder what the difference between X and N connections are, how to use them and when each type should be used. Thankfully the answer to all those questions are simple to answer.
