Fastap® Screw Products Are Engineered For Top Performance For People Who Work With
Wood.
For general carpentry to exterior building, composites for decks and stainless
steel, all Fastap® screw products have been engineered to save you time
with a truly easy one-step installation and tight secure fastening. Their easy to use performance
has to be experienced to be believed. Once you try them, you'll be
hooked, you'll never want to use anything else.
Performance Features Fastap® products, with
their exclusive Power Point Technology™
will
save you time, give you better fit and finish and outstanding self-countersinking draw down
for tight, secure assembly. But that's not all.
Power Point Technology™ also allows to you to attach closer to the edge
without splitting because each screw drills a properly sized pilot hole
as you install the screw. In woods seasoned rock hard by years of use,
like you find in the average home remodel, Power Point Technology™ shows its
efficiency by making those types of installations a breeze. Power Point Technology™ also makes tight, secure
fastening in restrictive spots (beneath flooring, wall cavities, etc.), where you could never swing a hammer,
quick and practical.
Fastap® products are also made from larger diameter #8, #9, #10 and
our new, exclusive "+10" wire in specific products,
for more
strength. Compare sizes next time you purchase screws. Larger diameters
mean that you have a screw that resists breakage/shear/head popping because it's stronger
and because it's stronger it holds more.
Our DuracoatXT® coating for our exterior products
is fully compatible with today's reformulated wood treatments (like ACQ, CBA and CA) and not
many coated products today can say that, not even our original Duracoat®. DuracoatXT®, just like our original industry first Duracoat®, is also an environmentally friendly
coating (unlike zinc and others) in both manufacture (low heat
application) and when installed (no leaching of harmful chemicals, there are none). And because Duracoat® and DuracoatXT® coatings are applied with low heat, there is no hydrogen embrittlement to weaken the
screw like zinc and other coatings can. Click [HERE]
or go to the "Product Information/About Wood Treatments" link (above) for more information
about reformulated wood treatments. Click [HERE]
or go to "Product Information/Technical Documents" to see test
data concerning the superior performance DuracoatXT® over other coated products. DuracoatXT® also won't peel upon installation like ceramic coatings can.
The drive threads of all Fastap® products have been carefully engineered for
their intended use. Coarse threads for general carpentry outside where softer woods
are generally used, finer for indoor trim, 45 degree for interior carpentry
(great for flooring installations). Whatever the situation, be assured that Fastap®
screws will drive easily and hold tight.
Fastap®
products also feature
longer shanks. Compare to
other brands. Longer shanks mean that Fastap® screws draw the attaching
pieces together tighter (see at right) for a better, stronger,
longer lasting fit. The special shank feature of our Poly3® has been specifically
engineered for composites and gives Poly3® a trashless,
mushroom free installation that other composite fastening products can't match.
Both are part of the one-step installation philosophy that frames every Fastap®
product.
No snapped heads. Fastap's attention to
detail in head design (coupled with larger wire diameters) gives a
beautiful flush fitting countersink and with 10% more head material than
cheap commodity screws, there's no snapped heads and other frustrations like cheap commodity products (like at right).
Each particular head design has been thoughtfully engineered for its use.
Our flathead-with-nibs design for composites, interior and exterior carpentry self
countersinks as it resists overdriving while locking the screw in tight.
Our smaller diameter trim style heads for finish work give an unobtrusive
self countersinking finishing touch to your project
while holding securely. And our gussetted +Truss and Flat Washer Head
for clamping power without snapped heads.
Deep drives for positive bit engagement. Fastap® screw products feature
drives to meet any need. Choose deep, easy release, Phillips or
tough stick fit square or for our exterior carpentry line, our unique
stick fit Fastap
Star™ drive. All offer
a secure fit that resists "cam out" or slip.
Fastap®Round Washer Head screws offer the
best features for fastening sheet metal to sheet metal and sheet metal
to wood. From its super sharp tip that can penetrate sheet metal up to
20 gauge to its large diameter washer style head and #2 Phillips drive,
Fastap® RWH screws perform.
No matter if you're an occasional handyman, a weekend warrior or a full-on professional, you'll find a Fastap® screw product to suit your
wood building needs. Indoors or outdoors, general building, maintenance or repair. Fences, decks, siding, cabinets, stairways and more. Softwood, hardwood, laminates, composites, treated woods or
sheet metal, premium Fastap® screw products can help you build better. Fastap® products are not lowest common denominator screws manufactured to meet the lowest price point
and highest profit for the local discount chain but a carefully engineered fastener to meet a
important need. Your need.
