Bagging Fasteners the Right Way

When it comes to bagging fasteners of any kind, Advance has the man-power and machine-power to get the job done. Plastic fasteners are especially sensitive to drying out and becoming brittle. By injecting small amounts of distilled water into each bag, the plastics retains its form and color. 

Just another great value-added service for our customers. Advance is the distributor's source for quality products and customer service. May we bag that for you?

ARaymond Tinnerman U-Type Fasteners for Spring

ARaymond Tinnerman offers a variety of finishes for all of their products. We especially like these green U-Type single thread engaging self-retaining fasteners. A bit of green for a much needed spring!

U-Type Speed Nuts perform the same fastening functions as J-Type, but are used where a full bearing surface on the lower leg is desired. They are self-retained in screw-receiving position to provide simple, rapid attachment of mating panels and cannot turn as the screw is driven.

Advance is a master-stocking distributor of ARaymond Tinnerman products. Visit advancecomponents.com  for more information, or call 972-446-5500 to learn more from Advance's great team of engineering solution professionals.

Just looking at the amazing photographs is inspiring, and the text is clever as well.
It shows you how fasteners hold everything together, and what it takes to build something as simple as a drill or a lawnmower. It's a fascinating look inside. We'll be posting more photos from the book in future posts. Enjoy!

Photographing A Raymond Tinnerman Fasteners

Photographing small fasteners is tough and tedious. Some are very tiny, and some are quite beautiful. It's important to label the part with the correct part number. I shoot them with the number first, then photograph them separately afterwards, that way I can reference the film, er….digital file….to find the right number for the right part.

A Raymond Tinnerman makes a lot of photogenic parts. If you have a good macro lens, you can make fasteners look great. Keep the light natural, use reflectors and a steady tripod…that's all you need to get a good shot of a tiny fastener.
