Twist-Tack™
Fasten to Steel Tubing or Aluminum Extrusions... Without Drilling.
|
How They Work
   |
The Twist-Tack is a self-piercing, one-step metal fastener that attaches thin materials to steel tubing, aluminum extrusions,
or lightweight metal castings. Permanent fastening is achieved when the knurled section of the Twist-Tack engages the base metal
with a cutting, twisting and wedging action. The Twist-Tack was developed for manufacturers who attach plastic, fabric, rubber
and other materials to metal. |
 |
Fastening takes place when the knurled section of the fastener engages the base metal.

|
One step fastening
Twist-Tacks fasten quickly because they punch through the attachment and base metal, eliminating the need for drilling. |
|
Joins dissimilar materials, such as plastic to aluminum
Twist-Tacks can be used to attach a multitude of light gauge materials to a variety of base metals. |
|
High withdrawal resistance
An anchor cone is formed from the Twist-Tack's wedging motion in the base metal, creating hundreds of pounds of withdrawal
resistance. |
