Fastap® Self Drilling Screws Are Engineered For
Top Performance For People Who Work With Wood.
For general carpentry, exterior building, composites for decks and any
wood, Fastap® has engineered all of it's products to save 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.
Fastap® screws, 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 it's installed. Even woods seasoned rock hard by years of use,
like you find in the average home remodel, Their Power Point Technology™ shows its
efficiency by making those types of installations easy. Power Point Technology™ also makes tight, secure
fastening in restrictive spots (between flooring joists, wall cavities, etc.), where you could never swing a hammer,
quick and practical.
Fastap® screws are also made from larger diameter
#8, #9, #10 and their new, exclusive "+10" diameter wire
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.
Fastap's DuracoatXT® coating for
their exterior screws
is fully compatible with today's reformulated wood treatments (like ACQ, CBA and CA) and not
many coated screws today can say that. DuracoatXT® is also an environmentally friendly
coating (unlike zinc and others) in both manufacture (low heat
application) and installed. And because it uses a low heat
application method, there is no hydrogen embrittlement to weaken the
screw.
The drive threads of all Fastap® self drilling screws 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, Fastap®
screws will drive easily and hold tight.
Fastap®
screws also feature
longer shanks
as compared to
other brands. Longer shanks mean that Fastap® screws draw the attaching
pieces together tighter (right) for a better, stronger, longer lasting fit. The special shank feature of their Poly3 has been specifically
engineered for composites. Part of the one-step installation philosophy that frames every Fastap® screw, Poly3™ gives a trashless,
mushroom free installation that other composite fastening products find
tough to match.
No snapped heads. Fastap's special 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
or bent screws either like you get with cheap engineered-to-a-price screws (like at right).
Each particular Fastap® head design has been thoughtfully engineered for its use.
Their flathead-with-nibs design for composites, interior and exterior carpentry self
countersinks as it resists overdriving while locking the screw in tight.
The smaller diameter trim style heads for finish work give a unobtrusive
self countersinking finishing touch to your project
while holding securely and the +Truss head allows clamping power that
holds tight.
Deep drives for positive bit engagement
All Fastap® self drilling screws feature deep Phillips or
Robertson square bit drives for
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. But don't mistake Fastap's RWH for a common lath screw. From its super sharp tip that can penetrate sheet metal up to
20 gauge to its large diameter washer style head, #2 Phillips drive and
coarse threads,
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 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® self drilling screws 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.
