Hilti DX 450 | the nail gun that fixes into steel or concrete

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

I purchased this Hilti DX 450 including a few boxes of pins and cartridges at auction and paid about £28 for it. I had to buy a new crush ring, but that was less than £5 delivered. After 20 minutes of cleaning, I had a fully functioning nail gun that is capable of firing pins into structural steel, or concrete.

    That's an incredible deal. With the right size charge, I think that nail should have gone straight through the steel into the concrete.

    Absolutely. I think it would have gone all the way in, if I had adjusted the dial on the rear of the gun 👍

    When i started my apprenticeship with british steel, 30 years ago, the company had recently banned using these. But all the ekectricians still had them hidden away in the back of their cabinets because they're so damn useful / time saving.

    You can use it to fix all sorts of things to concrete or steel, such as cable clips, pipe clips etc. In a local factory where I worked, all the fire alarm cables were clipped to concrete ceilings using a similar type of nail gun 👍

    I have bought lots of stuff over the years from auction. I use this website- www.bidspotter.co.uk/en-gb But normally only bid on auctions that are not too far away 👍 Just watch out for the fees though, and VAT The specific auction was Burnley auctions, so it's only 20 minutes away 😉

    If you are fixing into concrete you need about 25mm of the nail going into the concrete + thickness of what you’re fixing. Stay at least 75mm from edge of concrete to avoid it cracking.
