Quickly and permanently restore stripped, worn and damaged threads in any material. Coil tension securely holds the insert in place without undue tension on the surrounding material. They are vibration and impact resistant and will not strip or seize. All inserts are made from 18-8 stainless with a hardness of RC 43-50 and tensile strength above 200,000 psi.Screw-locking inserts have a series of straight segments to provide self-locking torque on the bolt, eliminating the need for other thread locking devices.

Free-swinging leaf hinges, also known as butt hinges, offer no resistance and consist of two flat plates joined by a pin through a center barrel.

Sometimes referred to as fluted knobs, lobed knobs with 10 lobes bridge a valuable gap between lobed knobs and knurled knobs by bringing wider grips than a typical knurled knob, while increasing the number of lobes over much wider gaps in knobs with fewer lobes.

They are ideal in setups where a "soft" grip is desired for hand cranking on equipment or workpieces.

The articulating swivel and large diameter pads assure solid support.

These check nuts are made of 303 stainless steel or low carbon steel, soft, with a black oxide finish. They can be used in conjunction with many other components such as knurled head screws, torque thumb screws, hand knob assemblies, toggle show clamp assemblies and many other tooling applications.

C-Washers can be used to distribute the load of a fastener and help prevent damage to the object being fastened.Dished washers are similar to spherical washers, but instead are designed for elongated holes. They are punched, gauged and tempered.Ideal for applications where there is an uneven surface. Offered as pairs or individual male and female pieces.Ball Head Position Adjusters allow exact positioning when assembling sloping bases up to approximately four degrees angle of inclination. A second ball head position adjuster is recommended as a base in sloped positions. They are one-piece constructed.Bonded WashersMetal flat washers are available in mild or stainless steel. They provide full insulation, cushioning and spacing.Designed for applications involving low loads and require high deflection. Available in plain, metal, or zinc plated finishes.Commonly used as a take up spring for a wide range of load bearing applications. Provide greater load bearing capacity than single wave washers with some loss in deflection capability.Snubbing Washers are used with bonded mounts to provide multi-directional vibration isolation, shock attenuation, and noise reduction. When used together, these fail safe mounts and washers are easy to install and provide consistent performance."
