The following are certain things which you just cannot afford to neglect if you want to drive bolts, without overriding them. Drill Pilot Holes:  Pilot holes are generally holes that are drilled into the material creating a hole for driving fasteners. These holes have a small diameter & prevent the fasteners from overdriving or snapping in half. This helps lessen shear capacity reduction by a significant amount.

Determine the Proper Driver’s Slip Clutch Setting:  Slip clutch is an adjustable collar, which is used to control the torque transferred to the bolt’s head for driving it. It is important to adjust the driver’s slip clutch setting so that it matches the amount of torque required for driving the fastener. Failure in setting the correct amount of torque can result in overdriving. The slip clutch setting for softwood is different than that required for ...

1. Do not Use 18-8 Stainless Steel in or Near A Salt Water Area Saltwater is great at causing rust & reducing the life of fasteners. To remedy this, we recommend to use stainless steel and the correct grade of stainless steel needs to be used. We generally recommend using only 316-grade stainless steel within twenty miles of the saltwater area. Otherwise the risk of oxidization (rust), even in other grades of stainless steel, are greatly increased.

Always Mate Hot Dip Galvanized Fasteners with Other Hot Dip Galvanized Fasteners Hot Dip Galvanized fasteners are coated with a thick zinc protective which is called hot dip galvanization, to make them less susceptible to oxidization. This thick coating of zinc creates a layer on the threading which will not match other materials that don’t have this coating. Fasteners that get hot dip galvanized & have differ...
