well."
This is easy to say, but I would be careful about it. For years, Hilti had
the best testing I was able to find. For that reason, they were used in the
nuclear power plants on which I worked. They were also twice as expensive,
which I thought was at least partly due to their data. Now Simpson and
Powers (Yes, despite the Boston CAT fatality) have data that looks pretty
good to me, too. But if I was designing the support of something heavy over
a public access, I sure would not allow something that just came "with the
latest load of lumber that morning."
