"We just bought HTS-2000...amazing, unbelievable, incredible, fantastic. We will buy more soon."

"The HTS-2000 that I ordered sure is great to work with. We are working on getting our Regional Response Trailer ready for deployment. We have quite an inventory of tools to mount on our trailer that range from small hand tools to generators and hydraulic power units. We fabricate most of our brackets, and try to use aluminum as much as we can so we won't have worry about repainting or rusting over the years. The HTS-2000 has sure simplified our work. I can't believe how easy it is to use and how strong the seams are when finished. We tried mig welding, but it just is not as easy as using the HTS-2000. Thanks for a great product, it has solved all of our aluminum welding problems."

Gibbons Boat Repair
Bismarck, ND
"We tried your Brazing rod thinking it would be like all the rest. Wow! It worked great! We repair aluminum boats--the riveted and welded type. Without a machine, we were able to turn the boat to the right angle and make the repair easily without having to fight gravity. We saved our customer about $3,500. The boat had landed on a steel fence post in one of our lakes. The insurance company had written off the boat because of the cost to replace the bottom. We riveted a plate on the inside, then turned the boat over and brazed it. We sanded it smooth and the customer is going to spot paint. The cost of the repair charged to the customer was only $800.

"I bought your HTS-2000 "Starter Kit" and used it successfully to
repair an aluminum oil pump manufactured by Alfa Romeo in about 1930. It worked well and as advertised. "

Thanks so much, Art

"It is with great pleasure that I write a few words about the HTS-2000 product. I represent a company called Active Autowerke, you can see our website at www.aatuning.com, we are a BMW tuner making powerful performance upgrades for the E36-E46 M3s. As part of product line, we manufacture products requiring some aluminum parts to be fused together. We utilize tig welders, but if we could use a easier fusion method that would be great. I have tried other aluminum welding rods from the Home Show, and the only way to describe those were "SNAKE OIL". The demos looked great, but what I bought was not the same as shown in the Home Show. I was a bit skeptical about the HTS-2000 thinking here goes another snake oil. Well, it has been over a year and we use these rods daily. I need to reorder and I am glad to still have the original paperwork to place the order. I see a lot of new products, but I believe this to be one of the best out there today. I just wanted to take some time and write a few words about  a great product from a very satisfied customer. "

"I am writing to you because I used your product and was amazed immediately. I had never welded aluminum and these are photo and crude stress test on the tubes I welded. If you look close the lower square tubes bent and the weld did not even crack when I was hitting other tube with a hammer. Also has high stress on bonding point. Thanks I have save a ton of money on fixing other items and since then I am welding large items and making nice looking welds. "

"I was skeptical about the possible success of the product as the intended use was on the repair of one of our aluminum boats ,the boat had a history of cracking at the cutwater on both hulls, several repairs have been carried out using everything we could find for aluminum welding without or with limited success, the boat works pretty hard with our environmental marine survey program so it has to be in top condition and safe . I tested 
the HTS 2000 in the work shop by 1/ Lap joining two pieces of 12 mm x 100 x 100 mm aluminum flat bar. 2/ Butt join two pieces of 12 mm x 100 mm x 100 mm aluminum flat bar. I then set up both test pieces in a hundred ton press, in shear, and applied pressure of thirty tons to the joints, I would have applied more but the aluminum flat bar bent, the joints did not fail. We then used the HTS -2000 on our boat immediately, following the instructions provided, the boat went into service immediately, subsequent maintenance 
inspections have found the repairs in tact and the hulls dry . Great product easy to use, and it works..."

took the shaft off, and I had a lb left of the 2000,rods, in 4 minuets we had it fixed, THANKS a million."

"I just finished repairing a diesel engine fuel filter bracket off of an antique tractor. It took 15 minutes and 3" of HTS2000. The threads were stripped out, I filled the hole up and re-threaded the boss just like the video. I'll be back for more when I run out.
Thanks for a great product! ..."

Mr. Davis, I am the MotorPool Supervisor for the City of Royal Oak , near Detroit Mi. I was reading about the HTS-2000 aluminum repair rods and was wondering if it works like they say. We need to repair an aluminum engine block and might try this method, as opposed to mig welding. Your response will make our decision easier and I would like to thank you in advance for any insight you have to offer.

E-mail from Craig Davis Customer to Mark M - Sceptic:
Hi Mark, Funny you should ask that question today. Yesterday I repaired a cylinder head off of a Kohler air cooled V-twin. It had blown a head gasket and the operator failed to stop the engine. He continued to mow for some time because it torched out a ½" wide channel to a head bolt hole and on out the side 1/4" deep, Very ugly. I brazed it up flattened it on a belt sander and we were good to go! After grinding the area out, I pre-heat anything small enough to put in my outdoor BBQ grill :-) poor boys have poor ways. My grill will get it about 350 degrees. Once it is at that temp. I use a standard ox/acetylene brazing tip and start the tinning process. I heat it until I can "paint" the rod onto the surface and not be able to flick it all off with a brush. Kind of like primer. After that, it is just like brazing, it will adhere to the tinned area and be able to be drilled or milled like the original. Sorry for the long winded answer, the short answer is Yes it does, but practice is essential if the part in not replaceable. They offer video and internet based help, do what they say and it will work like they say. I have repaired tractor parts, personal watercraft, car parts and toys with HTS2000. I have a pile of aluminum rods that were supposed to work, so I understand your scepticism. I bought this stuff fully expecting to throw it in the pile too, but I was amazed at its ability to blend in with the host alloy, I love it. Remember aluminum dissipates heat so quickly you will need to size your torch/heat accordingly. They have a video clip that helps.

"I have and use the HTS2000, its great. I made a repair to a motor
cycle housing and want to get the part hard anodized. What will the hard
anodizing do to the HTS2000? "

Mr. Robin Cook -davisoninvents.com
"I don't usually write companies about their products as I deal with a great many on a daily basis. I bought your product to repair an aluminum liquefier head on one of my prototype machines. The threads had stripped out and I had already helicoiled the part once. Your product worked exactly like you said it would..amazing! In this day and age with all the snake oil salesmen out there it was quite refreshing to find an honest company with a wonderful product. By being able to repair the threads in my machine you saved my company over two grand. My hats off to you."

"HTS-2000 has proven to be the strongest aluminum repair we’ve ever seen. It’s amazing!" 

"I have used muggy weld where you have to try and mix the rod and the flux together, not only was it more difficult and messy I just could not get it to work on some repairs, or did not have the needed strength. HTS-2000 is the strongest and easiest material I have ever used to repair aluminum. "

"I want you to know that I'm absolutely FLOORED! I've tried to braze aluminum, to no avail (or very limited avail), for a long time. When I saw you on the Internet, I thought to myself: "Ok, here we go again". Everybody thinks that their product is the best. I've got 30 pounds of aluminum rods from various companies (all of which are mentioned on your website ... and I'm not satisfied with any of them! I could stick 2 pieces of aluminum together, but it wasn't until I found your product that I realized that I was fooling myself. When I got my HTS-2000, I immediately went out to the shop and began experimenting. I couldn't believe the results ! Keep up the good work (and the great product)! "

Broken bolt on the thermostat housing
"I Had a number of problems with a broken bolt on the thermostat housing and ended up with a pretty large hole. HTS-2000 worked - we filled the hole with intake on engine, drilled and tapped beautifully and the repair is complete. I'd be buying and installing a new intake manifold if it wasn't for your product. "

Hello!

Attached are the pictures from my project. Everything worked out GREAT! The Rear differential is patched and put back together and works fine. It saved me a ton of money. A new one would have cost over $2500.00.

Repair leaks in aluminum fishing boat
"The product is unbelievable and as easy to use as shown in the video on your web-site I have used it to repair leaks in my aluminum fishing boat and to weld on accessories holders onto existing aluminum rails. My son also put it thru his usual - don't believe it's that good routine and tried to chip off some of the product which I had used to fill in a hole while experimenting and ended up digging so deep the he punctured a new hole while the hts-2000 stayed in tact.. He was very impressed and is now a believer also -- thanks again ..."

Thirty corrosion holes in the hull
"I purchased your product having absolutely no welding experience in order to repair about 30 corrosion holes in the hull of an aluminum boat. It took me a few rods to get the feel of the material and its melting point and other properties. I used an acetylene torch for heat and found the best way to repair the holes was to first make the corrosion holes wider and cleaner using screw driver and a hammer. I then cleaned the hole area with a large metal brush. I would then heat the area under question and clean it again. A few seconds later the hole would be
tinned and filled just beautifully. Your material was a lifesaver and really made "quick-work" of the repair.
Thank you very much!"
