Ask TKP: What do you want to see from the Hokies down the stretch? | Pan Phillip Self Tapping Screws

They come in a variety of shapes and sizes with some specialized for heavy-duty work like fence-building and frame construction which tend to have more robust rectangular cross-section blades.

Additionally, there are mechanical means of holding fasteners in place, and this is most-necessary on hardware affected by heat and high stress. While lock washers and cotter pins might be the easiest way to hold a fastener in place, nothing beats the effectiveness of safety wire. If you know how to properly install it, safety wire (also called lock wire) loops through holes drilled in the bolt heads or nuts and literally ties the fasteners together so they cannot loosen up.

Paktel had a distinctive and very well-designed logo, which consisted of six, green-bordered hexagons (representing the shape of the coverage of a cellular tower) joined together as a map of Pakistan on a white background. The logo’s creative message (national coverage) couldn’t have been more discerningly clear.

Rims. The Husqvarna line comes standard with black-anodized D.I.D DirtStar rims, while KTMs come equipped with black-anodized (although unlabeled) Takasago Excel rims.

Slotted, also called flathead, drive types are a simple slotted groove across the entire head of the screw.

Bosch’s framing system consists of T-slot aluminum extruded profiles, connectors, components and accessories.

Customers may cut each extrusion to length as required with a miter saw.

By far the best screwdrivers in my toolbox are my late father’s old flat-heads with wooden handles. Simply indestructable and very comfortable to work with. Wish i also had some Philips screwdrivers like that. And agree 100% on the small set tip: don’t buy the cheap ones; they’re all rubbish. I’ve inherited a professonial set that’s 50+ years old and still in excellent working order.

I don’t think anyone is in a panic. Nvidia’s GT200 line is still viable and there’s no reason to rush out and upgrade until there are at least two manufacturers selling DX11 cards. Hell, there’s no reason to buy DX11 support prior to DX11 actually being supported by anything. I recall rushing out to buy a DX9 card to get it ear

This is a natural part of product development… final, consumer-ready products don’t spring to life fully borne, and in the case of something like the Amiga, the developer’s units (which only went out to a handful of developers) were designed to get hardware into hands as quickly as possible, ra

Seat. Although the Husqvarna saddle looks identical to the KTM seat, it is not. Not only does it mount via a single bolt behind the left side panel, but it changes the seating position and seat height compared to the KTM setup. It is also 1 1/2 inches longer and a lot thinner than the KTM seat.

In 2008, the multinational companies began to wake up to the opportunity and did the smart thing – they asked their advertising agencies to develop their websites or at the least, design them so that the software houses could build a better user experience.
