Rapierstar branded products are also CE marked and batch tested, ensuring consistency of performance - complying with industry standards.
Produced with the installer in mind, fasteners are designed to be cost effective and efficient, saving time on the job. Innovative screws include STARTURN multipurpose woodscrews and StarFix plug-less masonry fixings. Both deliver all round superior performance when compared with similar fixings due to the unique, StarForm™ cutting thread - providing faster insertion with reduced torque. The thread begins at the very point of the screw, which means that starting is virtually instant and a dry lubricant surface finish improves speed of insertion. Screws are also plated to exceed all industry technical recommendations.
The unique StarForm™ cutting thread is a true cutting thread - unlike the thread forms found on other screw fixings which merely give the impression of a cutting thread due to the presence of (largely ineffectual) clearance channels. The StarForm™ thread provides superior performance by self-tapping a reciprocal thread into the substrate. Benefits include better resistance to the fixing pulling out of the anchor base due to the more effective thread engagement and reduced torque required to drive in (up to 30% less). This reduces installer fatigue, extends battery life, and decreases the potential for the occurrence of repetitive stress injury.
