SPAX Engineered Fasteners, a brand of Altenloh, Brinck & Co. Us, Inc., announces that its SPAX PowerTrim Finishing Trim Screw is a winner in the 2025 Pro Tool Innovation Awards (PTIA) in the category of Fasteners–Screws, Wood.
The 2025 Pro Tool Innovation Awards saw nearly 400 entries from almost 100 top-tier brands in more than a dozen categories. Recognizing tools and fasteners that offer outstanding quality and innovation, PTIA winners are evaluated by a panel of experts, professionals and industry veterans.
"The Pro Tool Innovation Awards exist to honor the best of the best," said Clint DeBoer, General Manager for the PTIA. “We are thrilled to see the level of innovation this year, especially with so much stiff competition. This awards program continues to showcase the cutting edge of product development, and each winner truly exemplifies what the awards stand for.”
“Recognition from the Pro Tool Innovation Awards for PowerTrim screws highlights the innovation SPAX brings to specialty fastening applications,” said Robert Knecht, senior marketing manager for SPAX. “PowerTrim screws provide contractors with a smarter alternative to nails and adhesives, combining clean aesthetics with excellent performance.”
SPAX PowerTrim screws feature a unique 4CUT point that drives easily into wood, composites and PVC without pre-drilling and without damaging the material. A T-STAR plus drive within the head provides secure bit engagement. PowerTrim screws also feature patented thread serrations and a reverse double thread designed specifically for PVC, pulling shavings back into the hole to eliminate bulging and pigtails for a more professional, flush finish.
Made from carbon steel, PowerTrim screws feature SPAX’s exclusive white and yellow HCR (High Corrosion Resistance) dual-barrier coating.
