What's New

Quickscrews 2010 Whats coming…      February 1, 2010      11:54 am     

        

 As the economy continues to struggle in the housing segment which impacts Quickscrews negatively we must ask ourselves what else can we do? Recently we decided to make a concentrated effort on a series  of fronts. First we will continue to look for products that would increase our visibility not only amongst our existing distribution and reseller network, but with an eye towards developing new customers in new markets.

       For example; we are Proud to Announce our entry into the Residential Solar Panel Installation market. We have begun ordering Stainless Steel hardware and screws that will enable Solar Panel Installers to easily install Solar Panel Roof Hooks onto Tile Roofs.

    As far as new products go, we would hope that possibly our customers who appreciate our ability to deliver products that are consistently competitive and high quality, will recommend to us products they would like to see us supply to them.  Please send in your suggestions and I promise to personally look into each suggestion and respond back directly to you.

Why so many different screws?      May 21, 2008      5:07 am

You were either buying a tapping screw or a drywall screw, neither of which were intended for use in wood. Although those types of screws worked the products themselves were not intended or designed for those woodworking applications. As the woodworking industry evolved so did the use of varied and different materials. The introduction and expansion of man made materials such as MDF and particle board, along with the expansion of a large variety of soft and hardwoods, required different thinking when it came to fastening products for the industry. The fasteners on the marketplace had to change. The introduction of heat treated coarse threaded screws was a major improvement. Woodworkers would finally be introduced to a quality product line that met their demanding needs in the area of joint fastening and cabinet construction. The next evolution surrounded the need to insure that all hardware being used would or could have an appropriate fastener to attach to again a wide variety of man made and wood species. Another difficulty that still remains today is the fact that hardware manufacturers have not standardized the holes in hardware which have identical purposes, thus the need for a larger selection with multiple head styles of screws.
