METAL-TACKS
are perfect for fastening nameplates, wiring clips or any other light weight attachment without pre-drilling.
Metal-Tack fasteners were specifically developed to fasten light weight parts such as nameplates and wiring clips to heavier metal products such as pumps, valves and machinery. They fasten quickly and permanently with NO DRILLING or surface preparation. Permanently embedded fasteners hold up to 250 pounds. Metal-Tacks are perfect for fastening nameplates, barcode tags, wiring clips or any other light weight attachment. A portable, safe, single-impact Air Tool allows the operator to position the attachment before fastening. This eliminates the problem of having to precisely locate holes in the base material and then precisely align those holes with the ones in the attachment.
Metal-Tacks eliminate costly problems associated with other fastening methods. Adhesives are messy and may be less than permanent. Other fasteners that require drilled holes also require perfect alignment between base metal and attachment. In addition, drilling holes may cause damage by drilling too deep, and metal drill chips are difficult to completely clean up.

Let Us Evaluate Your Application
Standard Metal-Tacks are manufactured from carbon steel, and are zinc chromate plated. They will pass a minimum 120-hour salt spray test in accordance with ASTM B117. They may be driven into base metals as hard as HRB90.
Stainless Steel Metal-Tacks are manufactured from Carpenter 455 stainless steel and are not plated. The fasteners have a small amount of carbon and form slight blush after exposure to corrosive environments. They can penetrate base metals as hard as HRB90 as well as many grades of stainless steel.
RDS-Metal-Tacks are manufactured from a special steel alloy that allows them to become harder and tougher than standard fasteners. RDS Metal-Tacks can penetrate materials as hard as HRB100. The are also zinc chromate plated for the same corrosion protection as standard tacks.
