The perfect graduation gift!

Saturday, May 15, 2010 by BT&F WebTeam
 We are right in the middle of graduation season, which means its time to start buy gifts for all of those high school and college grads.  All of us here at Better Tools and Fasteners believe that a Super Socket set is the perfect gift for a grad!

Most students graduating from college are heading out into the "real world" with a place of their own, which means that a socket set might be something they have never owned and would overlook needing.  Anyone who's ever had a place of their own knows the value of having a socket set.

Also, students just starting college may not know the need of a set of sockets or wrenches, but there are plenty of times they'd wish they had a set.  Nearly all college students own a bicycle on campus at some time, and it seems like the bolts on a bicycle seem to rust the fastest!  Give them the best rusted bolt remover money can buy!

Check out our distribution page and see where you can buy some today! Hurry before graduation season is over and you're stuck giving another gift card...

Save money on bandages...

Saturday, May 15, 2010 by BT&F WebTeam
One advantage you can find through investing in a Super Socket wrench is all the money you'll save on bandages!  Wondering how that could connect with a socket wrench? It's simple...

When you're trying to install or remove a bolt from a tight location, you have two options- either use an extender where you risk dropping the bolt every single time, or you try to squeeze your hand into a place that it can't fit, inevitably scraping every knuckle you have.
BUT... if you decided to invest into a socket set through Better Tools and Fasteners, you'll never have to worry about this problem again.  Your socket will never lose its grip on the bolt when installing it.  Also, any stuck bolt you may try to remove will come out with the revolutionary technology of our socket sets!

So take all the money you'll save by protecting your knuckles and put that toward buying a Super Socket today!  Check out our website for a full listing of places to purchase it!

Rusted, Rounded, and Stuck Bolts... Oh My!

Tuesday, May 11, 2010 by BT&F WebTeam
 There are many things that can cause bolts to become stuck and difficult to remove.  It can come from rusting, rounding off the corners, or from a variety of other issues. Here are some reasons a stuck bolt can develop.

Rusting happens when water and oxygen combine on the metals which causes the metal to be eaten away.  In order to keep bolts from rusting, keep them out of places where they can come in contact with water.
Bolts become rounded or stripped when you use a normal socket on them while applying too much pressure.  When too much pressure is put on the corners, they can rounded down.  A stripped bolt will forever become difficult to remove.

Luckily, Grip Tite has developed the perfect Damaged Bolt Remover in the Super Socket.  With its revolutionary technology, rust and rounded corners never cause problems again!  They will be removed with ease.  For more information on this socket or any of our other product, feel free to check out our product page today!

A great success story from a happy customer!

Monday, May 3, 2010 by BT&F WebTeam

Like we've said before, we love to hear success stories on how customers who bought a Super Socket set from Better Tools and Fasteners found such great value in our products!  Below is a great story from Scott!

This is my personal experience with your product on 12-24-2008. 

My son has a 2000 Ford Taurus with the 3.0 DOHC engine. It was experiencing cylinder # 4 & #6 mis-fire. This was found to be caused buy the COIL-ON-PLUG boots not sealing due to age. This allowed water to enter the plug area and caused the metal plug surfaces to rust including the plugs hex head. 

Took the car to the local Ford Dealer and they were unable to remove the plugs and also broke the plug in cylinder #5. They then stated that the heads would need to be removed to get the plugs out at the tune of an estimated $2,500+ depending on unforeseen issues. 

I had my Son take the car home and wait for me to arrive. In the mean time, I purchased both the SAE and METRIC 17 piece sets from Sears for a total of $126 and took them with me on our trip to my Son’s for Christmas. The day before Christmas, I removed all 6 of the old plugs and installed 6 new plugs ($18) along with 6 new coils ($108) in about a ½ hour. 

The GRIP-TITEs proved their worth and everyone should have both sets. Another “BEST MONEY I EVER SPENT” for me. Thumbs up. 


Thanks for the story Scott!  We are so proud of our Super Socket sets and love to hear about customers who see their value as well!  For those of you who do not own a set, hop over to the website today and see where you can pick up your own set today!  Never again will a stuck bolt keep you from finishing up your projects!

Goodbye Rusted and Rounded Bolts!

Monday, April 26, 2010 by BT&F WebTeam
Two of the worst R's you can run into with a project that involves bolts are Rusted and Rounded...

Rusted bolts are caused by a reaction between water and oxygen on the surface of the bolt.  When the reaction starts and the rust develops it can cause a strong bond between the nut and the bolt.  It usually takes a special rusted bolt remover to get the project taken care of.

Rounded bolts happen when a typical socket wrench applies pressure to the corners of the bolt and wears away the corners.  When this happens too much, a stripped bolt can develop and cause issues getting a grasp on it.

These two issues are why EVERY person needs to own a Super Socket!  With the new technology we have in place, it's never been easier to remove a bolt, because pressure is applied to the flat sides, and not the corners

Reliability Tested!

Monday, April 26, 2010 by BT&F WebTeam
One of the biggest complaints people have about buying things these days seems to be how quickly they break or are in need of repair.  Many companies are resorting to cutting corners in order to make a product cheaper and in the process they lose quality.

One thing you'll never have to worry about with the is it wearing out on you.  It will not wear down over time or after being exposed to various chemicals.   Super Sockets have been exposed to gasoline, oil, hydraulic fluid, mineral spirits, and hundreds of other chemicals - with absolutely no performance degradation.

The Super Socket has also been tested under extreme heat and extreme cold with no drop in quality! (Sure makes going up against a stripped bolt seem like an easier task, huh?)

There is a reason we put a 100% Lifetime Warranty on our products.  If you would like more information on any of our products, just check out the website and see details on sizes available as well as where you can order your set today!

Saturday, April 17, 2010 by BT&F WebTeam
 You might wonder why we feel like we can be so confident that you will not find a better quality socket set anywhere else... That is because of the ACT (Advanced Camming Technology) that exists in our sockets.  Something that you can't find anywhere else! (Seriously, Google it... there's nothing but Grip-Tite products!)

When our ACT Super Socket encounters a stuck bolt, it does not give up when it can't seem to move it.  In fact, the harder and harder you turn, the more pressure the socket puts on the bolt and the more likely it is that you will be able to dislodge it and move on with your project.

While all of your friends are pulling out the blow torches and expensive bolt extractor sets, you'll be easily making your way through your project.

Too much time on your hands? Didn't think so...

Saturday, April 17, 2010 by BT&F WebTeam
I don't think any of us would ever complain about having too much time on our hands.  In fact, usually it's just the opposite.  "If I could just get a few more hours in the day, it would make everything so much easier to fit in!"

Because this is the lifestyle we all live, we look for little ways in our lives to cut out unnecessary time spent.  One area that is easy to save some time in would be random projects around the house.  There's nothing more frustrating than a project getting out of hand and wasting time you don't have.

The Better Tools and Fasteners collection of tools is the perfect way to save some time.  Usually, a simple stuck bolt could be the one thing to ruin a project, but with our selection, that will not be an issue!

Our tools are the best quality sockets and wrenches around.  We have a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee on all of them, because we are so confident that you will love it!  We even believe in our Super Socket so much that we developed the Grip Tite Challenge, challenging you to find a similarly priced socket that works better!

Out with the old... In with the new!

Monday, April 12, 2010 by BT&F WebTeam
I know how tough it can be to replace an old tool you've had for ages.  My dad used to ONLY use a hammer that his dad used! It must have been a 50 year old hammer!  It got the job done, but the extra work that went into every project was painful to watch!  The day he got his new hammer, his entire outlook on projects changed...

This may be the case with you and your socket sets.  It can be tough to part with the tools you've always had, but luckily, there are tools today that can become the perfect replacements!  For example, a socket or wrench set from Better Tools and Fasteners!  

When it comes to wrenches and sockets, the older you get, the more imperfections there are in the "snugness" on a bolt.  A little wiggle room can create a rounded or stripped bolt.  This problem can lead to many headaches and challenges!

When you order a Super Socket today, you will be getting the best in new technology!

Are you up for a challenge?

Sunday, April 4, 2010 by BT&F WebTeam
