 Aerosmith Fastening Systems has led the way for over 40 years in developing pneumatic tools and hardened steel pins for attaching materials to metal and concrete: from Cold-Formed Steel construction to industrial and manufacturing applications...

About Us

Aerosmith was founded in California in the mid-60's. It's first products were the Palm Nailer and Automatic Hammer that quickly spurred Aerosmith on to reveal it's most enduring quality - INNOVATION!  The company soon developed a portable Bulknail Tool and Nail Feeder that provided an economical and durable system for industrial applications like pallet and crate assembly.  These tools soon gained International attention and Aerosmith was purchased by a Swiss manufacturer.  The innovation continued and Aerosmith pioneered hardened steel pins for fastening into concrete and steel.  The CT90 pin tool was born! 

In 1998 the Swiss sold Aerosmith to HKN Associates, LLC a group of investors who knew the potential for the Aerosmith fastening technology in large market segments like Cold-Formed Steel Framing.  After moving the company to Indiana, they quickly started developing tools and pins suited not only for Cold-Formed Steel Framing applications, but also many more concrete fastening challenges.  Products like the patented Gripshank; SurePin and SuperSharp provide solutions to a dynamic construction market that needed to economically fasten steel to steel, steel to concrete (track applications), high tensile, thinner steels and of coarse structural steel!

Today Aerosmith provides over 40 Years of INNOVATION and has a product line that not only includes the "Original" bulk nail tool and feeder, but also the new high pressure (400psi) fasteners for use in up to 5/16" steel or the most dense concrete. 

For a Concrete Connection

The Model 90 tool that Started it all is still the best on the Market.  Aerosmith's SurePIN^TM CT-90 is the easiest, fastest, most flexible, and lowest cost method for plywood to concrete fastening.

• Easily fasten subfloor, underlayment and sleepers to concrete
• Best method for fastening plywood 1x's, 2x's and more to concrete
• designed with a flat front and a rear magazine to operate closer to walls
• Padded grip for greater user comfort
• Precision depth control
• Smooth, rounded tool design protects finished walls
• Rapid payback (and lease options available)
• Long history of reliable use - a proven system

Truck and Trailer Flooring

Aerosmith's Model CT-90 can drive hardened steel .144 SurePin fasteners through the flooring and cross member with a single drive.  No Drilling required!  Fastening is accomplished quickly and easily as the tool may be moved from one position to the next and properly aligned.  The fastener pierces the steel, making its own hole and displacing the steel.  This displacement provides a tight mechanical fit to hold hte pin securley in place.  Shear values will exceed those of traditional flooring screws.   Labor time can be reduced by as much as 80%.  No Pre-Drilling makes worn and broken drill bits a thing of the past!  Effort and fatigue are greatly reduced all leading to higher productivity and higher profits!

With its introduction in early 2003, the VersaPIN^TM Fastening System has changed cold-formed steel fastening forever.
