Worked perfectly

Julien Mott - 05th November 2019

Thank you, fingertech, for these nutstrips, I mounted all of my antweight's carbon fiber panels together using this product. I had no issues.

Great sturdy product that makes life easier

Luke Faulkingham - 25th October 2015

Used this on my first bots, held together great and was a great solution for attaching flat sheets.

Nutstrip made all of my wildest dreams come true

Jeremy Rans - 31st July 2013

Seriously. Saved me a lot of time in fabricating my own solution for connecting two right angled pieces. Good stuff.

December 2011 Servo Magazine Product Review

Mike Jeffries via Servo Magazine article - 01st December 2011

By using NutStrip, I'm saving a great deal of time both in initial fabrication and repairs, as well as a great deal of money due to ease of fabrication and the reduced need for spare parts because both sides of the chassis can be assembled with identical hardware.
