When we say Pro-Twist® is the most complete, professional-grade fastener line around, we make a good point. The quality of the point is what makes a fastener superior and Pro-Twist® Fasteners from PrimeSource® are made with carbon steel for a sharper, stronger point. In fact, our 1022 carbon steel fasteners penetrate 20-gauge steel faster than anything else does and they eliminate “strip-out”. Our unique thread design also contributes to faster penetration.
