The Evolution of Fastening Methods: From Basic to Advanced
The journey of fastening methods dates back to ancient times when rudimentary tools like wooden pegs and stone nails were used to hold structures together. As civilizations progressed, metal fasteners such as iron nails and bronze rivets began to emerge, providing greater strength and durability.
The Industrial Revolution marked a significant turning point with the invention of machines that could mass-produce screws and bolts. This era introduced standardized fasteners, which improved efficiency in manufacturing and construction. Over time, the development of advanced materials and precision engineering has led to the creation of high-performance fasteners capable of withstanding extreme conditions, such as the SCRAIL® nail screw fasteners by BECK.

Advantages of Steel Fastening
Steel fastening offers numerous advantages in the manufacturing of mobile homes. Firstly, steel fasteners provide exceptional strength and durability, ensuring that the various components of the home remain securely attached. This is particularly important for mobile homes, as they are subject to constant movement and transportation. Steel fasteners also have excellent resistance to corrosion, which is essential for mobile homes that may be exposed to different weather conditions. Additionally, steel fasteners are easy to install and require minimal maintenance, saving both time and money in the long run.

Pneumatic tools offer several advantages over other types of tools. One of the main benefits is their power-to-weight ratio. Pneumatic tools are lightweight and compact, yet they have the power to perform heavy-duty tasks. This makes them highly efficient and easy to handle.
Another advantage of pneumatic tools is their versatility. They can be used for a wide range of applications, including automotive repair, construction, woodworking, and metalworking. Whether you need to drive nails, tighten bolts, or sand surfaces, FASCO® (a BECK brand) pneumatic tools can get the job done.
Pneumatic tools are also known for their durability and long lifespan. They are designed to withstand heavy use and can handle tough working conditions. With proper maintenance (be sure to read the manufacturer’s directions), pneumatic tools can last for many years, making them a cost-effective choice for professionals and DIY enthusiasts alike.

Cross-Laminated Timber (CLT) construction has seen a significant rise in popularity in recent years. This innovative building technique involves using multiple layers of wood panels that are glued together at right angles. The result is a strong and durable material that can be used for various applications in construction.
One of the main reasons for the rise of CLT construction is its environmental benefits. As concerns about climate change and sustainability continue to grow, architects, engineers, and builders are turning to CLT as an eco-friendlier alternative to traditional construction methods. BECK has responded to this concern with the LIGNOLOC® Wooden Nail System for sustainable fastening of CLT, LCLT, and NLT materials. Let’s explore more.
