'Ook: invoeger? Een stekkenbak is bij de betonbouw een hulpmiddel bij het invoegen van stekken (uitstekende delen van het wapeningsstaal).
De stekkenbak wordt door middel van spijkers op de bekisting bevestigd. De spijkers kunnen eenvoudig door de perforatie worden geslagen. Na het ontkisten kan de stalen deksel van de stekkenbak worden verwijderd. Daarna worden de stekken teruggebogen.'
