An anodized coating forms a bond with the aluminum surface to improve wear and corrosion resistance.

The most widely used aluminum, 6061 is fabricated into everything from pipe fittings and containers to automotive and aerospace parts. It is strong and corrosion resistant, plus it's easy to machine and weld.

More corrosion resistant and easier to form than multipurpose 6061 aluminum, 6063 is primarily used for exterior railings, decorative trim, and door frames.

More corrosion resistant and easier to form than multipurpose 6061 aluminum, 6063 is primarily used for exterior railings, decorative trim, and door frames.

Easier to bend and shape than 6061 aluminum, this aluminum is good for framing, cross sections, and structures in construction and marine industries.

While 2024 aluminum was initially designed for structural components in aircraft, it's now widely used when a high strength-to-weight ratio is needed. It offers similar performance to 7075 aluminum, but it’s not as strong.

5086 aluminum is used on ships, oil rigs, tanks, and pressure vessels because of its excellent saltwater resistance and formability.

These 90° angles are zinc galvanized for good corrosion resistance.

From cookware to chemical-processing equipment, 304 stainless steel is a good all-around choice for a wide range of applications.

Often called architectural bronze, 385 brass is easy to machine and has excellent formability when heated. It is typically used for handrails, ornamental trim, and hardware, such as hinges and lock bodies.

In addition to a low-friction surface that prevents sticking and binding, this tough material is impact and wear resistant to handle the scuffs, scrapes, and strikes that other plastics can’t.

Because PVC resists many acids and alkalies, it’s widely used for tanks and in chemical-processing applications. Also known as PVC Type 1.

Because this polypropylene resists swelling when exposed to water, it’s often fabricated into containers and parts for laboratory equipment.

Known for its naturally slippery surface, PTFE surpasses most plastics when it comes to chemical resistance and performance in extreme temperatures.

At only half the weight of glass, polycarbonate maintains excellent impact resistance across a wide temperature range. It's commonly known as Lexan, Hyzod, Tuffak, and Makrolon.

Because PVC resists acids and alkalies, it is often used in tanks and chemical-processing applications where visibility is essential.

Sets include four pry bars with a mix of end styles for a variety of prying, lifting, and positioning jobs.

Sets include three pry bars with a plastic handle for a comfortable grip.

One end of these pry bars is aluminum-bronze coated to prevent scratching. Often used to separate die blocks, they're also known as die bars.

The plastic handle provides a comfortable grip.

Made of aluminum-bronze that is Factory Mutual approved, these tools inhibit sparking and are nonmagnetic and corrosion resistant. They satisfy OSHA requirements that specify nonsparking tools for locations where flammable vapors and combustible residues are present.

These tools are often used for lifting and aligning machinery or to separate pipe flanges. They’re also known as banana wedges.

Use these tools for leverage when removing vehicle tires.

Fasten quickly with these crank-style handles.

An alternative to wood in structural applications, FRP fiberglass is strong and lightweight.

Offering excellent arc and track resistance, this GPO3 fiberglass is often used for electrical applications in humid environments.

Made with a flame-retardant resin, this FRP fiberglass meets ASTM E84 Class A.

Often used to make railings, edge covers, and other structural framing parts, these carbon fiber U-channels add stiffness and strength to applications without adding a lot of weight.

Machine these angles into arc barriers, switch mounts, and components for circuit breakers and electrical equipment. They resist carrying electric currents in dry or humid areas, even when exposed to sudden electric discharge.

In addition to creating space inside walls or ceilings—to prevent dampness or make room for insulation—these channels can also be used to level or resurface them.

These locking bars have hinges and swing out of the way for easy access to cabinet drawers.

Seal and cushion corners with these 90° angles.

These 90° angles meet UL 94V0 for flame retardance.

Resistant to sunlight, ozone, and water, these 90° angles are good for sealing and cushioning corners.

Hang damp towels to air-dry.

Made of aluminum-bronze, these scrapers are FM approved for use in hazardous environments. They're nonmagnetic, corrosion-resistant, and inhibit sparking.
