Reading Asset's "Bow Biters" Tackle Construction Headaches with Innovative Fastening Solution

Reading, PA – October 26, 2023 – Reading Asset I LLC, a Pennsylvania-based company focused on solving everyday construction challenges, is making waves in the building industry with its newly launched product, “Bow Biters.” These aren’t your typical fasteners; they’re designed to significantly reduce headaches for contractors and DIY enthusiasts dealing with tricky angled connections, especially when working with timber and framing. Let's face it – getting a solid, flush connection when you’re joining wood at an angle is a pain. You’re wrestling with screws that want to walk, nails that bend, and a whole lot of wasted time. Reading Asset, a company built by folks who understand those frustrations, saw a need for something better. "We've been hearing from contractors for years about the struggles with angled fastening," says a representative from Reading Asset, located at 825 E Wyomissing Blvd, Reading, PA. “They’re tired of pre-drilling, stripping screws, and dealing with weak connections. That’s why we developed Bow Biters.” So, what are Bow Biters? Simply put, Bow Biters are a unique type of self-tapping connector specifically engineered for angled wood connections. They're made from hardened steel, giving them the strength needed for demanding projects. But the real magic lies in their design. Unlike standard screws or nails, Bow Biters feature a specially angled tip and aggressive threads. This combination allows them to bite into the wood at an angle, creating a remarkably strong and durable connection without the need for pre-drilling in most softwood applications. How do they work in practice? “Think about building a pergola, a fence post with angled bracing, or even a simple birdhouse,” explains the Reading Asset representative. “Traditionally, those connections involve a lot of careful measuring, pre-drilling, and hoping the screw doesn't split the wood. With Bow Biters, you just position the connector, apply pressure, and drive it in. The angled tip guides it into the wood, and the threads do the rest.” Contractors who have tested the product are already raving about the time savings. “We were building a deck with a lot of tricky angles,” says Mark Peterson, a framing contractor from Lancaster, PA. “Using Bow Biters cut our fastening time by almost 30%. And the connections are solid. I don’t have to worry about them coming loose.” Beyond speed, what are the benefits? The benefits extend beyond just saving time. Bow Biters offer a number of advantages over traditional fastening methods: Increased Strength: The aggressive threads and angled design create a mechanical lock that’s significantly stronger than standard screws or nails, especially when subjected to stress and vibration. Reduced Splitting: The self-tapping design minimizes the risk of splitting the wood, even in delicate or knotty materials. This means less wasted material and fewer do-overs. Versatility: While ideal for softwood applications like pine, fir, and cedar, Bow Biters can also be used with hardwoods, although pre-drilling is recommended in those cases. They're suitable for both indoor and outdoor projects. Ease of Use: No special tools are required. Bow Biters can be driven in with a standard drill or impact driver. Reduced Labor Costs: Faster installation translates directly to lower labor costs for professional contractors. What kind of projects are Bow Biters perfect for? The applications are virtually endless. Here are just a few examples: Deck Framing: Creating strong, angled connections for joists and beams. Pergolas & Arbors: Building sturdy and visually appealing structures. Fencing: Securing posts and rails with confidence. Roofing: Fastening rafters and trusses. Furniture Building: Creating strong and stylish wood furniture. DIY Projects: Perfect for home repairs, crafting, and building custom projects. Play Sets & Outdoor Structures: Ensuring safety and durability for children's play areas.
