About Us ...

Born of Necessity ...

Benjamin Franklin once said that "necessity is the mother of invention".  When we learned that virtually all push nuts were being installed with hammers and removed when necessary by a variety of means that were unsafe, unreliable and slow, we saw a need.  Thus we were inspired to invent and produce tools specifically for installing and removing push nuts.

 

We now have those tools and they work just as planned; safe, reliable, fast and born of necessity!

 

Our Promise ...

 

It is our commitment to our customers to provide exceptional quality and service in ways that uphold our tradition.  If you ever feel that we have not delivered on this promise, please let us know.

Pal nuts, sometimes called push nuts or speed nuts, are used to secure the wheels onto steel cart axles used on trash or garbage bin roll out containers. Our products are often purchased by plastic roll out bin manufacturers, suppliers, solid waste districts, municipalities, towns, garbage haulers, and those who handle solid waste collection services and recycling using these carts.
