The Dallas Business Journal has ranked Advance 35^th out of 100 businesses in the DFW area based on revenues generated in 2014.

“We are honored to the recognized as a leading women-owned business in the area,” says Cravens. “It’s proof positive of what women can do and it’s a testament to the hard work and dedication that the Advance team brings to the job.”

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?

What Is Inside A Chainsaw. Fasteners, of course!

Here's another great image from Todd McLellan's book Things Come Apart. It's amazing how many small parts - fasteners - are used to hold such a powerful tool together.
A lot of A Raymond Tinnerman parts could be used for such an application. Advance is a master-stocking distributor of A Raymond Tinnerman. Call us today at 972-446-5500 for engineering solutions, quotes and speedy shipping! Advancecomponents.com

Things Come Apart- Look at all the fasteners!

Here's a great book - Things Come Apart by Todd McLellan.
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.
