COST SAVING SOLUTIONS
Only
15% of the total "in-place cost" of fastening is the cost of the screw
or bolt. The TAPTITE family of thread rolling screws and bolts lower
the remaining 85% cost. i.e. the cost of pre-tapping the hole and other
tapping related costs. We refer to this cost as the "Big 85" The use
of TAPTITE® products lowers the "Big 85"!
