Security bit tip kits sold retail have ruined the security of nearly every tamperproof, tamper-resistant, vandal-resistant security screw on the market. Over 10 million security bit tips are in circulation, making their way inexpensively into the hands of anyone who wants them. There are hundreds of more specialty removal tools available, such as vice grips, easy outs and channel locks. As a result,… Read more »

Which Security Screws are the best to buy? Security screws are expensive and varied, so which are the best to buy? This is a loaded question because there’s a huge hidden cost associated with tamper proof screws. The question to ask is, “what’s the cost of the loss?” A potential “cost of loss” can range from a few $100 to $500,000. It cannot be overlooked. Take, for example, our small… Read more »

America has witnessed 911 atrocities and is connected in heart to what the French have just experienced. This is not really the kind of connection one wants; it stresses the insecurity of the World. This recent atrocity in Paris made me (Bryce) take time to view some of our French connections. We have one in particular from which we’ve received multiple orders over the last five years. You can find… Read more »

Last week, I, Brian Hill, Marketing/Sales Dept. and Rodger Mares, our Heat Treat Technician exhibited at the SEMA show held in Las Vegas for the third year in a row. I’m always excited to return because of my love for Hot Rods and any custom vehicle. Our custom locking fastener, Key-Rex® gained a lot of interest in how it can be used in the Automotive Aftermarket. I spent time talking to individuals… Read more »

Maybe I, (Bryce) am getting old, but one of the most interesting shows I watch on TV is called, “Mysteries at the Museum.” Every artifact has a story. If you care to investigate, the stories are intriguing. We have such a museum at Bryce Fastener. It’s at the back of my office where I throw all our odd and unusual fasteners. My wife (Donna) is unimpressed, saying it’s a “mess.” Yet, each… Read more »

Last week we attended the National Industrial Fastener & Mill Supply Expo in Las Vegas. It was GOOD, BAD, AND UGLY Here's the breakdown: The GOOD: We had a great time demonstrating our T-REVX® drill point fasteners against a TORX® pin Tek point. This meant drilling our security drill point fasteners into sheet metal side by side with a security TORX® Tek point. The difference was “laughable”.… Read more »

We’ve become so accustomed to “thinking outside the box”, that it’s spilled over into making our own signs. Normally, one would pay professionals. We made them ourselves. They turned out to be easy, inexpensive and (I think) professional. Below, I’ve (Bryce) included the recipes. In the meantime, take a look. Our talented, Mark Leddy is responsible. Recipe for the outside sign: We drew… Read more »

Has this ever happened to you? It has to me (Bryce). It was a “top of the ladder” experience that made me want to develop the REVX® line of fasteners. I wanted to create a fastener that would stick to the screw driver and help position the “honey do” item just right. You know, “a little higher... and to the left.” The solution to me was to make a connection between the screw and screw… Read more »

Trade shows are alluring for our sales team. They present a great opportunity for us to show off the effectiveness and intricacies of our security screws. We always envision interested parties visiting our booth, picking up literature, taking samples and asking questions. What we envision never happens. Nine times out of ten, our booth gets overlooked. Our product is small and it’s easy for high… Read more »

Homage to a National Beauty She’s a “Dead Head” (er). “Heavy metal” sounds is what she lived on. She has passed on. We were left wondering what to do…where should she be laid to rest? Cremation is the norm, but we thought she deserved better, based on her "All American" past. You see she was born around 1955 in the heartland. She was a NATIONAL beauty in her day, with no equal. She could… Read more »
