Construction Marketplace 6 1 Wednesday, January 11, 2017 product line is SCRAIL ® , which com- bines the superior holding power feature of screws with the installation speed of nails in one fastener, and can be used almost anywhere a screw can be used. With the success of the incredibly versa- tile SCRAIL, demand for new applica- tions has resulted in further break- throughs in the fastener market. For instance, SubLoc ® PRO SCRAIL was developed to avoid sub- floor squeaks. It offers the hold of a screw with the ease-of-use of a nail and can be quickly driven with a pneumatic nailer. Its improved holding power comes from the aggressive double threads that are designed specifically for squeakless floors, because having no smooth shank between the upper and lower threads pre- vents unwanted noises from board move- ment. If that's not enough incentive, it also prevents micro movement of the wood, even in the event of wood shrink- age. If high-speed metal roofing is your specialty, then the RoofLoc ® SCRAIL fastener, part of the pneumatic SCRAIL Metal Roof System, offers some amazing advantages. This inno- vative product performs two times faster than collated screws and eight times faster than bulk screws, quickly attaching metal to wood while creating more than 400 pounds of holding BECK Fastener Group (Cont'd. from p. 1) power. The leakproof EPDM-washer resists temperature contraction due to temperature extremes, offering no metal residue, or "pig tails," for a supe- rior washer seal, and eliminates scratches with a FasCoat ® exterior fin- ish (SS304 Stainless Steel available). Choosing the proper fasteners will benefit both your reputation on the job and your efficiency in getting it done correctly the first time. BECK values giving contractors the ability to pro- duce higher quality end products while saving time and reducing labor costs. Some jobs are better suited to a nail, some to a screw. A combination fasten- er can give you the best qualities of both traditional options when your work involves decking (both composite and traditional wood), fencing, dry- wall, crating, subflooring, metal roof- ing, framework, siding, furniture or millwork, and hobby building. For more than 100 years, The BECK Fastener Group has been a leader in pneumatic tool and fastener develop- ment, focused on creating high quality products that generate time-savings for the professionals who use them. It offers a full range of fastener solutions, includ- ing pneumatic tools, collated fasteners, as well as a wide range of staples, nails, pins and brads. For more information, visit booth #W7039.
