In addition, it boasts exceptional quality for superior reliability and durability (tested to 50,000 installations). The high pull force is adjustable and it features a long stroke length, providing considerable versatility. What’s more, there’s cross compatibility with Huck nose assemblies and Makita 18v batteries.
WORKSHOP SERVICES
With a fully equipped workshop and experienced team, Star Fasteners tool workshop services are reliable and timely, so there's minimal down time and a quick turnaround for every job. Star Fasteners' comprehensive range of spares and genuine components ensures a timely service, with large stocks of spares from leading manufacturers such as Huck®, FAR® and VVG®. Star Fasteners can arrange to pick the tool up by its van or courier. A quote detailing all parts and costs is raised. If required, Star can guide you through a process to make a decision and find the most economical outcome. Each tool gets a unique reference so Star Fasteners can view its full maintenance history.
SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE
A regular maintenance programme supports every production environment.
- Helps to ensure that fasteners are being installed properly
- Satisfies health and safety obligations
- Keeps production moving and ensures tools are operating correctly
If tools are brought back into the workshop, a typical tool service will involve a complete strip down, de-greasing and cleaning of all parts with a specialist hot-parts washer. Once assessed, if necessary, Star will replace seals and worn parts. Finally, the tool is re-primed, re-set as required and thoroughly tested. Servicing can be arranged to fit in with shutdowns or down time to suit factory schedules. The firm’s extensive stocks of tooling spares (including for many obsolete models) are also on hand for those who prefer to carry out their own servicing and repairs. Generally, Star can offer next day delivery and talk you through some simple preventative maintenance measures to get the most out of your tool and ensure minimal downtime, as part of the service.
HIRE AND SERVICE HIRE
Should your workshop suddenly become busy, or a specialist tool is needed for a specific contract, Star Fasteners can offer short or long-term hire tools. The firm also offers service hire whilst a tool is in the workshop for service or repair.
SALES
Star offers quality tools that can stand up to the rigours of a busy workshop environment and can demonstrate the latest models and provide advice on tool options best suited to the application and the environment.
