The Puzzle of Sourcing Snap Rings, Clamps & Pins

In a perfect world, you identify the need for a product - and simply buy it. The world of fasteners, however, is not that simple. Your product needs to be dependable. It also needs to be regularly available, and not subject to unrealistic minimum order requirements. Is it traceable by lot? Are there real humans behind the sale who can help you with personal service? Sourcing retaining rings, clamps and pins can be a puzzle, and - if you're trying to solve it on your own - the pieces may not always fit.

A skilled distributor can help you solve the puzzle, providing a complete picture. While there are many distributors from which to choose, there are few who check all the boxes needed for true supply chain integrity.

Prospect Fastener's 40+ years of being a master distributor comes into play for each and every one of our customers. We have cultivated a puzzle-solving process by which we provide availability, quality, transparency, service, and risk-elimination.
