Metal-Tacks
Metal-Tack fasteners were specifically developed to fasten lightweight parts such as
nameplates and wiring clips to heavier metal products such as pumps, valves and machinery.
They fasten quickly and permanently with no drilling or surface preparation. Permanently
embedded fastener holds up to 250 pounds.
Permanent Fastening Without Drilling or Adhesives.
Metal-Tacks are manufactured from special steel alloys and stainless steel and then
precisely heat treated and tempered so they are much harder and tougher than the material
into which they are being driven. This process creates fasteners that can penetrate metal
as hard as Brinnell 240 and set themselves in metal as thin as 1/8" (even thinner if
the metal is supported). They will fasten to steel, many grades of cast iron, stainless
steel, brass, bronze and aluminum.
Metal-Tacks are
perfect for fastening nameplates, barcode tags, wiring clips or any other lightweight
attachment. A portable, safe, single impact air hammer allows the operator to position the
attachment before fastening. This eliminates the problem of having to precisely locate
holes in the base material and then precisely align those holes with the ones in the
attachment.
The Fastening Process
No Broken Drills or Messy Cleanup.
Thin drill bits are easily broken and difficult to extract from base metals. Metal-Tacks
form their own hole, which eliminates drilling. Adhesives require a clean surface and can
fail if attached to oily or greasy surfaces. Metal-Tacks need no surface cleanup. They are
not affected by dirt, oil, or grease.
A Heavy-Duty Solution to Light-Load Fastening.
Metal-Tacks eliminate costly problems associated
with other fastening methods. Adhesives are messy and may be less than permanent. Other fasteners that require drilled holes also require perfect alignment between base metal and
attachment. In addition, drilling holes may cause damage by drilling too deep and metal
drill chips are difficult to completely clean up. Metal-Tack's
single action assembly eliminates all these problems and provides a fast and permanent
fastening for lightweight attachments.
