Earlier in the week,
we featured the news release Steel inserts resist corrosion from
Tappex Thread Inserts: "Trisert-3 inserts suit most applications in thermoset and thermoplastic grades, including the latest engineering plastics".
In January 2008, we covered the news from Facom UK
concerning its Protwist screwdrivers
