These proven shot sleeves are tough and long-lasting, made by the leader in shot sleeve manufacturing for over 50 years.

Proper Design, tight manufacturing standards assure you the highest quality at competitive prices.

Ask the operator who knows his die casting machine inside and out and he will tell you that "not all shot sleeves and shot end products are created equally."

Many manufacturers use antiquated equipment and inferior metal. The result is a shot sleeve that wears out before its time.

Advance uses only the finest H-13 steel. The metal is cut, bored and honed on computerized equipment by craftsmen with years of experience. We've been serving the die casting industry for over 52 years.
