Our over-zealous spirit, the one that makes us try unusual fastener sizes and styles, often carries over into other ventures. We need more space for our machines as soon as possible, but our addition to the warehouse hasn’t even begun. Our solution was to buy some storage containers. Rather than wait weeks to have them altered, we did it ourselves. During the process, I, (Bryce) wondered if we went… Read more »

Offering custom Key-Rex® security screws means we have machine capabilities to make screws big, small, long, and short. Initially, it was hard for me to put forth the large investment in some of our heavy machines. Take for example our long- stroking header. It weighs over 70,000lbs, it’s really hard to center and even harder to maintain. Funny how important this machine became to us. An installation… Read more »

We’ve embarked on making a large structural security nut called, Key-Rex® Structural Nut. Our new security nuts can range up to 2 inches in diameter. Two heavy machines arrived here last week to help us make them expeditiously. The machine on the right that looks like a laser gun out of Star Trek is a tapping machine. The one on the left is a 60-ton press. Our challenge for the week is to get these… Read more »

    Specifically engineered to deter sophisticated crude oil theft, our new Oil & Gas Anti-Theft Nut called Key-Rex Structural Nut is officially on the market.

We’ve already hit the ground running in 2017. Here a few pics of two machines I recently bought. Both are heavy. Over the years, we’ve found that the girth of a machine matters when making our type of custom security screws. In football terms, the big Offensive Lineman do better for us than fast Wide Receivers. We’ve also learned how to fix them ourselves. We had no choice but to learn because… Read more »

Time seems to be going faster and we’re all trying to keep up. One of our goals for 2016 was getting our fasteners out faster. This was accomplished by adding some more machines. We were concerned when our 3/8 Header went down for a couple of days. There was no spare ready to take up the slack. Now, every machine has a back-up. Normal delivery times in cold heading are 6-12 weeks. Bryce Fastener’s… Read more »
