STUDMaster - Steel Stud Anchors

1 - WHAT IS StudMaster?

StudMaster is a SteelStud Anchor or a Skyscraper screw. The first fastener intended to be screwed

directly into the studs of the interior walls in steel framed structures like homes, offices, hotels, hospitals

and most skyscrapers worldwide. As it stands today 42% of the North American population live in a

steel framed structure. Those numbers jump sharply in both dense urban centres full of skyscrapers and

coastal areas that frame homes in metal or steel studs for the inherent advantages needed in such

locations.

2 - HOW IS IT USED?

To use the StudMaster a homeowner or contractor who was mounting goods(cabinets, TV’s, shelves, etc,

etc)to a steel framed wall would first locate the studs in the walls by scanning (with a stud finder)from

both directions (left and right)being careful to locate the center of the studs face. Then a pilot hole is

drilled through the drywall and into the stud.

This allows the user to both check for obstructions behind the walls surface and to verify that they have in

fact hit a stud. Next the StudMaster is twisted into the pilot hole (while this happens the fastener rolls the

metal of the steel stud up around itself inside the wall to form a tight metal grommet that is highly

resistant to stripping and tear out). Easy to apply and nearly impossible to strip. this particular design

vastly out performs all other fasteners in these respects. It’s easy it’s strong and anyone can do it.

3 - WHAT APPLICATIONS IS IT USED FOR?

The StudMaster is used for wall mounting of heavy millwork like cabinets, shelves and entertainment

centres also Tvs and audio equipment in steel framed structures by fastening directly to the metal studs

without the addition of plywood inside those walls and studs.

Wall mount anything directly to the studs in your apartment or steel framed structure securely, quickly

and affordably.

4 - WHO IS TARGET AUDIENCE/CUSTOMER AT STORE LEVEL?

Homeowners that want to do it themselves and contractors that want to go faster. Anyone with a basic

toolkit can do this.

Packing studs is long hard work. This is a direct route to the results we’re all looking for in our home

improvement projects. A no nonsense approach to hanging just about anything from the walls of your

steel framed structure.

5 - WHY WAS STUDMASTER CREATED / MANUFACTURED? People always need to mount millwork and Tvs to the walls. They also need to hang paintings mirrors and maybe some IKEA too. In a wood framed home this is a breeze. In an apartment, skyscraper or metal framed home this is a real task. Previously, screwing into metal studs was like screwing into a pop can. easy to get in and impossible to get a grip. Everything you screw into a metal stud strips far too easily.
