All of the options in the MiTek ProSeries line feature a sharp cut-point that reduces installation torque and wood splitting. None of the new MiTek fasteners require pre-drilling. All of these new fasteners feature a stamp on the head for identifying the fastener length. 

No special fastening tools are needed to install the fastener. If a repair is needed, the formed threads can accept a conventional metric screw.

One of the big challenges is that despite the presence of four large production houses, several smaller ones and more individual producers (or briefcase operators as they are called) than you can count, the content demands of the entertainment channels are still so massive that they are not completely met and Turkish and Indian content are used as ‘fillers’.

When you need to throw some light on a situation a good torch is invaluable. They come in many shapes, sizes and power but a good hardwearing metal cased one is always a good investment.

+1 I am actively trying to purge “flat head”, the name I learned as a child for “slotted”, from my vocabulary in this context. As a result of working on a pinball project with way too many fiddly types of screw requirements, I’m trying to learn and use all the correct definitions of screws and screw parts. Took me a minute to parse your use of flat head as a synonym for slotted, as you wouldn’t expect that in an otherwise deep dive.

As their budgets are preapproved by the relevant ministries, the media release and payment settlement process involved is simple. The situation becomes tricky when display advertisements are involved.

Positively locates nails and screws with powerful “neodymium” magnets. The magnetic stud finder works like magic.

Green Frame allows for the mixing and matching of more than 350 parts. There are three series of pipe, all of which have an external mounting feature at 90-degree increments. GF pipe comes 19, 28 or 43 millimeters in diameter and various shapes, depending on the application. These include versions with functional T-slots, reinforced walls, the ability to telescope with each other, as well as double pipes for high-strength applications.

I divide the admen of those early years into two categories. The pioneers; they were the ones who had no experience in advertising, yet they started their own agencies and trained themselves on-the-job. They included people such as Mohammad Mushtaq (National Advertisers); Chaudhry Abdul Ghafour (United Advertisers) who was well-read in Persian, Urdu and English literature; Sultan Mahmud, who previously worked in the Ministry of Finance and then joined Ghafour in 1950; Ashraf Muhammad (Spotlit Advertising); Aziz and Bashir Khan (Manhattan); Lutfullah and Amanullah Khan (Kays Advertising); Nawabzada Wajid Mahmood (Adarts); Jamil Siddiqui (Marketing & Advertising) and Sadiqul Khairi (Khairi Advertising).

A common, but too-often ignored problem related to installing thread-forming screws in thermoplastic is plasticization or softening of the material. This is particularly applicable when installing fasteners with systems that run at 1,000 rpm and higher. Plasticization gives the appearance that a torque-controlled system is installing a screw correctly at, say, 20 in-lbs, but a phenomenon called joint relaxation can soon follow. Within a matter of seconds, minutes or hours, it can make initial torque in the joint fall off dramatically; sometimes by up to 50 percent (to 10 in-lbs net, in this example).

Hurricanes and fires started by embers falling on roofs, though, bring that calculation back into focus, said Scott Kriner, president of Green Metal Consulting. Metal roofs can often command a higher home price or lower home insurance, he said.
