    Most fasteners used in Van Mark tools are standard off-the-shelf nuts & bolts. This was intentional. We use standard fasteners to allow you to get back to work more quickly if something goes missing. Using standard replacement hardware like nuts, bolts & pull-pins will not affect your warranty.
