Wedge-Bolt® Screw Anchor System vs. traditional anchors. The winner: Wedge-Bolt®!
The Powers Wedge-Bolt® Screw Anchor System offers an alternative to traditional mechanical and adhesive anchors. Wedge-Bolt anchors have specially designed dual threads that engage the base material immediately upon installation. Unlike traditional wedge or sleeve type anchors, they will not spin in the hole during installation. The Wedge-Bolt is a one-piece design that eliminates the possibility of lost anchor parts or improper assembly. Unlike adhesive anchors, with the Wedge-Bolt there is no lengthy curing time. This allows for immediate completion of fastening applications. This anchor can be installed at shallower embedment depths than wedge or sleeve anchors reducing the chance of striking rebar or underground cables. The Wedge-Bolt cuts a thread into the base material. Since there are no expansion forces, the anchor can be installed closer to the edge than ordinary anchors without damaging the base material. Please remember that Wedge-Bolt anchors are designed to be used with a matched tolerance Wedge-Bit™ for optimum performance. 89% of the professional market uses the Wedge-Bolt. Over 40 million units have been sold over the last 4 years. Try it, you'll like it!
