The Holdfactor Guide

We have devised the 'Hold Factor Guide' as so many of the other manufacturers use their own unique ratings. This then becomes very confusing for anybody looking across ranges to compare products.

Our 'Hold Factor Guide' solves this problem by assigning our own unique rating to each product. This table shows a rough comparison between our guide and that of other manufacturers.
