To successfully build a fence, you'll need a basic set of tools. A post hole digger (or auger), level, tape measure and hammer for most any fence construction are essential. In addition to the basics, you’re likely to need additional tools for the specific fence you are building. Choosing the right materials before you start is imperative to help your job move along without delays. BECK has the tools, fasteners, and systems that will make quick and easy work of any type of fence you need to build. Let’s explore what tools are suggested for several types of fences.

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.

Squeaky Walls? Is it a Mouse? The first instinct is to check for pests, which is understandable. Nobody wants an unruly rodent running around in the walls! Don’t call the exterminator just yet, it could be that your walls are squeaking due to loosened screws or nails. Here we’re going to explore wall installation techniques that will ensure the noise is not a result of metal fasteners rubbing against wood - which is common in a home that was built without the use of BECK’s SCRAIL® SUBLOC® PRO nail screw fasteners.

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.

Choosing the Right Upholstery Material
It’s time to get that boat out of hiding and prepare for fun on the water! Most boat owners find their boat in need of cleaning and repairs after being covered all winter. Some boat owners find that good cleaning and repairs aren’t going to be enough. BECK can help with either one of these scenarios. Consider using our FASCO® (a BECK brand) Fine Wire Staplers and BECK staples to be sure your new interior seating will be secure, no matter what you find under that cover.
When it comes to renewing your boat upholstery, one of the first decisions you'll need to make is choosing the right upholstery material. There are several factors to consider when selecting upholstery material, such as resistance to UV rays, water resistance, and ease of cleaning. Some popular options for boat upholstery include marine vinyl, Sunbrella fabric, and leather. Each material has its own benefits and drawbacks, so it's important to do some research and choose the one that best suits your needs and preferences.
You might not think of color aside from looks, but it’s an important consideration. While lighter colors may show stains more easily, they can also help keep your boat seats cooler in the hot sun. On the other hand, darker colors may be more forgiving when it comes to stains, but they can absorb more heat. The choice of color will depend on your personal preference and the overall aesthetic you want to achieve.
In addition to material and color, you should also consider the quality of the upholstery. Investing in high-quality upholstery will ensure that your boat seats last longer and maintain their appearance over time. Look for upholstery that is specifically designed for marine use, as it will be more resistant to the harsh conditions of the sea and sun. It's worth consulting with a professional upholstery specialist who can guide you in choosing the right material and quality for your boat seats.

Winter is a time when many construction companies see a drop in consumer demand and a corresponding drop in revenue. While this can be a difficult time for some construction companies, there are things you can do to protect your business and keep your crew busy. Making the most of your winter months can help stabilize revenue and keep profits coming in.
Subfloor repair is a popular project to perform in winter. The SCRAIL® SUBLOC® PRO system from BECK can help keep your crew successfully working on subflooring. The system uses fasteners with specialized double threads for squeakless subfloors that helps keep screws in place. But before we explore subflooring further, let's delve into other options to make the most of your winter construction efforts and keep your business thriving.

When it comes to fasteners, there are two ways to apply them: With traditional tools (like hammers, screwdrivers, and drills) or with pneumatic tools. Pneumatic tools might seem like a hefty upfront investment since you need both an air compressor and the tool system, but the truth is, that investment rapidly pays for itself in the form of labor savings.
Contractors using pneumatic tools can knock hours off the job with pneumatic fastener systems—and that leads to less money spent on labor, and maybe even savings that you can pass on to your clients.
The advantages are clear—but which fastener system should you get? Whether you’re treating yourself or shopping for a great gift for your favorite contractor, read below for a selection of innovative tools and systems from BECK.

Summer is one of the most productive and challenging times of year for most construction contractors. Problems like extreme weather, an overly busy schedule, and poor air quality can all cause delays in production and poor overall efficiency. Sometimes these problems can even cause injuries, poor morale, and loss of work.
These problems have solutions. Using the right tools and fasteners, such as BECK's patented diamond coating for fasteners, for example, can help make your season more productive and profitable. The diamond coating ensures reduced friction, fewer wood fibers destroyed, and higher withdrawal values, allowing you to work faster when using nails and staples made with this innovative technology.
Additionally, training workers to stay safe in challenging conditions and following summer-specific protocols are essential steps to overcome some of summer's biggest challenges. See below for more details on these challenges and what you can do about them.

Not all contractors work in a climate where it’s warm enough all year round to pour concrete without special considerations. There are myths that say you shouldn’t work with concrete in the cold—but the truth is, you can still get the job done. You’ll just need to take some extra measures to make sure the concrete doesn’t end up brittle or cracked.
We’ll show you a few tips to work with concrete in cold weather, and we’ll also show you one of our favorite tools for concrete and masonry work, which is the ET&F® (a BECK member) Aerico® 90 tool and fastener system.
