COST SAVINGS - Cleardrive™ eliminates the age-old problem of filled recess due to organic coatings. ITW's Cleardrive allows organic coatings to freely drain during the spin process and eliminating unnecessary sorting.

BETTER COROSION RESISTANCE- Cleardrive™ use organic coatings without the worry of filling the recess and achieve a superior resistance to corrosion

UNIVERSAL PERFORMANCE - Cleardrive™ can be added to most 6 lobe drive features

GAUGEABLE - Cleardrive™ maintain your current gaging standards

SERVICEABILITY - Cleardrive™ complies with traditional bit life performance

DRIVE TOOL - Cleardrive™ works with your current drive tools and current specifications

DOWNTIME - Cleardrive™ eliminate costly downtime due to recess fill by specifying Cleardrive as an option

How Cleardrive™ Works

ClearDrive™ is a feature added to the head of a fastener allowing a free channel for organic coatings to flow during the dip spin process and eliminating unnecessary sorting
