[RE-wrenches] Subject: Re: Best Ground Racking?

[Bill Hoffer]

Gave up on stainless fasteners and anti-sieze a long time ago after
discovering Dura-Con Fasteners <http://www.duracon.info/p/why-dura-con.html>.
 Better corrsion resistance against aluminum than stainless and no galling!
 We have used them for training where systems are assembled and
disassembled several times.  Even with anti-sieze still would have to hack
a few fasteners off every time.  With Dura-Con no more problem.  I also
believe  that they are also cheaper than quality Stainless  ( not all
stainless fasteners are created equal!) .  Try em you'll be asking every
racking company to switch over from stainless!

Bill, now gall-free Bill and loving it!
