🔧 Fix this

Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:

  1. A specialized hardware kit subscription service that bundles wedge anchors with compatible eye nuts for remote builders.
  2. A mobile app that identifies compatible hardware alternatives for common DIY anchoring tasks based on available local inventory.
  3. A standardized adapter bracket that allows standard turnbuckles to attach to common wedge anchor bolt heads without needing an eye nut.
