Avk Competitive Advantages

Spinwall Technology

AVK uses a patented Spinwall Technology that allows the body of the insert to expand and fill the hole, allowing exceptional torque strength & vibration resistance. The Spinwall Technology blind installed fasteners can be installed into flat, tabular or other shaped materials using hand-operated or pneumatic handheld tools right on the assembly line without any adjustment to accommodate parent materials of varied thickness.
