Direct fastening technology is a system in which a hardened nail or stud is driven into steel, concrete, or masonry using a power-actuated tool in which the internal piston drives the fastener into the base material with a driving energy.
Common fastening techniques include drilling and anchoring, screw fixing, welding, clamping and bolting. But for many applications involving fastening to concrete and steel, using nails as part of a direct fastening system (made up of dedicated tools and nails) can help you save time and money by providing the following benefits:
up to 5 times faster installation so you can save time, free up resources and meet project deadlines
poential cost savings through reduced labor cost
safer installation with tested and approved systems. Direct fastening is also virtually dust free, lower noise and lower vibration
simpler workflows thanks to reduced effort, cordless technologies, higher tolerance of ambient conditions and wide application coverage
