At Associated Fastening Products, we offer custom tool manufacturing services. We design and build custom tools that promote precision and productivity in manufacturing and assembly operations. Our solutions provide a useful and ergonomic solution for application-specific challenges to guarantee the final product's quality and consistency.

Along with standard and magnetic hex insert bit holders, we design and manufacture thread cutters, thread formers, Allen wrenches, and disposable tools for hardware kits and other one-time or limited use applications. We operate an expansive manufacturing facility that includes automatic and Swiss-style screw machines, CNC machining centers, laser equipment, and water jet cutters for producing everything from a prototype for testing and evaluation to a bulk order of one million units.

We manufacture custom tools in an extensive range of materials. Along with a wide selection of metal and alloys, such as aluminum, CRS, stainless steel, and titanium, we work with hard plastics such as ABS, polycarbonate, and others. Tools can be specified from fractional inches to 8" in diameter and from 1/8" to 24" in length. We uphold close tolerance accuracy and provide 100% product inspection. Numerous finishing options are also available.

For projects with various budget and scheduling requirements, we also offer an offshore sourcing option from ISO-compliant companies. Customers can expect to see the same level of quality as the custom tools we manufacture in-house. We provide quality assurance documentation and certifications as required for all projects, whether in-house or globally sourced.

Our custom tool manufacturing services can be combined with bagging and kitting, special packaging, warehousing, and shipping services for a full turnkey solution. To find out more about our custom tool manufacturing capabilities, or to make an inquiry, contact us directly.
