We used the titan 4×4 centering tool with our titan post project.  This
centering tool does not work with the 4 x 4 posts sold at Home Depot or
Lowe’s stores.  The actual measurements of their 4 x 4 posts are 3 3/8″ x 3
3/8″.

The centering tool appears to be designed for 3 1/2″ x 3 1/2″ 4×4 posts.

We do have some tips for future DIY newbies.
1. Drilling into concrete was new for us.  Using the anchor as a template
was difficult with a hammer drill operating so near to the hands of the
person holding the anchor.  We devised this method.  Setting the hammer
drill on rotary, we spun it for about 10 seconds at each hole to get a good
starting hole.  Then we turned the drill to rotary/hammer and drilled one
hole and attached the anchor with one concrete screw.  Then we went back and
drilled out the rest of the holes without having to have someone try to hold
the anchor in place.  We removed the concrete screw and continued with the
installation of the anchor to the post, and then the post and anchor to the
concrete.  We did notice that the concrete screw that was reset into the
previously drilled hole did not bite as well as the others.

2. Note that the shank on the on the bit of the hole arbor is 1/2″.  Be
prepared to rent, borrow, or purchase a 1/2″ drill.

3. Trying to line up the gaskets with the anchor holes was frustrating with
the post attached.  We put 10″ wooden skewers (like you use for cooking
shish ka bobs) in each hole, slipped the black gasket over the skewers, then
the white gaskets over the skewers, then the post and anchor over the
skewers–worked great.

We are pushing the envelope on these anchors and using them to install a 5′
lightweight fence on a concrete retaining wall.  We’ll let you know how it
turns out.  So far, so good! We seem to be getting the hang of it.

Otter Creek  continues to add prominent building retailers that carry the trademark “Paw Brand” products in their stores.  Otter Creek offers their retailers attractive first order packages that allows them to try the product without having to commit to ordering in the future. Robert Abbott the President of Otter Creek says that the products that are offered to theirretailers are so unigue and unlike many other prducts on the store shelves that it’s an easy sell.

We try and offer the retailer the products that have significant benefits over other competing products. Retailers want new and improved products that offer their customers real solutions to their building projects.  Abbott thinks that retailers are tired of the same old same old products that offer little in the way of innovation or real solutions for their customers. We have many of our building retailers tell us that our product(s) offer real solutions and are not just another similiar product offering that gets lumped in with all the other products on the store shelves.

One such product that has been very successful at the building stores has been the Titan Post Anchor.  This little anchor has been recieved very well at the retail level. It offers something never before seen on the North American marketplace for fastenening wood posts to wood or concrete surfaces.  The Titan Post Anchor has went into ten retailers in the last month with more retailers coming on board every day.  There has been such an overwhelming response we had to hire additional personal to keep up the demand.
