Stress Indicators, Inc. announced today that a popular selection of its DTI SmartBolts product is available for purchase online through the McMaster-Carr Supply Company.  “Today, customers can go to www.mcmaster.com and order any of a variety of DTI SmartBolts and expect to receive McMaster-Carr’s great customer service and quick shipping, together with our patented tension-indicating bolt technology,“ said Charles H. Popenoe, III, President of Stress Indicators, Inc.

SmartBolts are listed with the other Cap Screws in McMaster-Carr’s online catalog at www.mcmaster.com.  On the home page, scroll to the Fastening and Sealing section, click on Bolts, then choose Cap Screws.  Customers will then see DTI SmartBolts listed on that page under the title Tension Indicating Hex.  SmartBolts will also be included in the 2009 paper catalog when it ships, later this year.

“Having SmartBolts available in McMaster-Carr’s catalog will allow customers who are interested in smaller quantities of common sizes to easily purchase them from a popular industrial supply vendor whose service they already know and trust,” added Mr. Popenoe.

Stress Indicators, Inc. has built its reputation by designing solutions tailored to a customer’s application requirements.   “We will still continue to do all our regular custom work for our customers, both existing and new” said Mr. Popenoe, “but the McMaster-Carr channel allows us to serve a much greater base of customers, with zero lead-times.”  In addition, Stress Indicators, Inc. will be soon be presenting a FAQ on its website at www.smartbolts.com to better serve customers who buy DTI SmartBolts through McMaster-Carr.
