Go to page 6.. Looks like they still are mfging the PB+
Looks like the PB Pro is new too.

But what I seem to be seeing on the right side of the page is the bolt we all know and love so much.

Does anyone know if there is a washer that is compatible (like a bevel design) with the flat head design that would work with hangers?

You could always just buy the flat heads and swop out the bolt for a normal grade 5 hex bolt like powers used to use, yeah it'll be a bit more expensive, but still nowhere near the price of stainless.

The SS PB was never discontinued.

How about just don't be such a cheap bastard and use SS like you should?

I do use stainless, however, I'd rather that someone place a plated 5-piece than a plated wedge because at least the plated 5-piece is fairly easy to replace when needed (also, I've seen plated 5-pieces that easily last 25 years in dry environments).

You've got a point, though 25 years goes by quicker than you'd think.

Did anyone notice that Fixehardware.com is not selling the COBRA super sleeve anymore?

Now they are carrying the Powers PB+.. the bolt they said not to use??
