Earnest Machine is now offering DIN spec metric hex head cap screws in response to increased demand in the marketplace.

The US-based global importer, distributor, and manufacturer of large diameter and hard to find fasteners, will carry metric products made to the DIN spec, which is the German national standard. Fasteners will be made to the DIN 931 and 933 specifications, in fine and coarse threads, property classes 8.8 and 10.9, and plain and zinc clear trivalent finishes.

“ISO metric hex head cap screws have been part of our product line for years. However, we’re seeing a rise in the demand for metric products due to globalisation and the increase of imported heavy equipment. Many repairs now call for metric pieces,” said Kirk Zehnder, CEO of Earnest Machine Products.

Metric products are needed in a variety of projects and industries including heavy equipment, agriculture, heavy truck, and so on. “As the global economy shows more of a shift toward metric, the need for metric products becomes more acute,” explains Kirk. “We also offer a variety of value-added services, including custom plating, drilling and slotting rework, broken case quantities, kitting and packaging, and branded drop shipping."

“While DIN specification products are not required for projects, it is understood that German engineering standards yield the highest quality product. These pieces are made from the strictest standards, so when you hear that a fastener is made to the DIN specification, you can trust this part will have lasting power,” concludes Kirk.
