HI-LO® Fasteners - For Plastic and Other Low Density Materials
Hi-Lo
The HI-LO® fastener is the minimal performance solution for fastening in low pressure environments such as plastic, particle board, masonite, and wood. It’s designed with a double-lead thread where the HI thread is sharper than a conventional one. More material is trapped in between the threads which helps to resist pull-out. This also allows for a lower driving torque.
