The ITW Red Head Trubolt+® seismic wedge anchors also were popular at AFSA since they are designed to resist static, wind, seismic tension, and shear loads for anchoring in cracked and uncracked applications. The Sammys (for vertical applications), Sidewinder® (horizontal), and Swivelhead® (angled) anchor trio provide unprecedented flexibility to install straight-hanging system fixtures, lighting, and signs while eliminating rod bending and other time consuming steps. The Sammys Pole Tool, available in two telescoping sizes, is great for hard-to-reach places and replaces the need to set up and remove scaffolding, ladders, or lifts. Sammys products have earned a reputation for increasing efficiency and reducing time and labor costs.
The Sammys Pole Tool and Sammys cracked concrete and seismic approved anchor trio attracted the lion’s share of attention at AFSA. Overall the show was a very successful event for us.” The buzz and amount of traffic in our booth was incredible the first day. It was the first time that we exposed all three brands together at this show and it worked out exceptionally well. We also fielded many questions about our ITW Red Head® products and ITW Ramset® tools. “METALCON generated a lot of interest in our ITW Buildex® Teks® product line for metal buildings.
Our Sammys® products continue to impress our customers and one of the highest compliments we received was from someone who uses Sammys because he can’t afford to have installation call backs on jobs. “At AFSA, we spoke with many of our fire trade customers and had quite a few new people stop by our booth. “Two different audiences but the same great results,” remarked Karen Kowalczyk, Marketing Communications Manager for ITW CCNA.
