1/2” Drop-in Anchor Setting Tool: Uses and Benefits

by Tom Wallek July 08, 2020

Machinery installers, electricians, plumbers, sprinkler installers and other tradespeople want safe and secure anchoring devices for concrete structures. The weight of concrete requires a solid anchor that can hold up. When it comes to anchoring heavier payloads to concrete structures, there’s nothing better than the ½" drop in anchor. Skilled professionals and anchor installers largely turn to the Set It FAST ½" drop in anchor setting tool for the most satisfactory installation results for ½” drop in anchors.

Using a High-Quality Drop in Anchor Setting Tool Matters

An overwhelming number of contractors and construction tradespeople choose the Set It FAST 1/2" drop in anchor setting tool because of its underlying technology. The patented design delivers a revolutionary approach to setting drop-in anchors for a broad range of applications. Professionals use it to anchor a range of structures to concrete, floors, walls and overhead installations.

The unique design, innovative technology and high-quality manufacture of these tools provide an efficient and safe approach for anchor installation. The tool not only assures that the anchors are firmly in place, but it also guarantees the safety and well-being of the installation crew. When using high-quality anchor setting tools, the risk of faulty anchor setting lowers significantly.

Good Technique Delivers Good Results

Using a high-quality drop-in anchor setting tool can often be the difference between success (a long-lasting, safe and secure installation) and failure. However, applying good technique when using the setting tool also matters. Here’s how to make the best use of the ½” drop in anchor set tool:

Drill a hole in the target concrete surface that is of the same length (depth) and width (diameter) as the anchor
Clear the hole from remaining dust and debris. If required, use a blow tube/blow bulb to accomplish this
Next, drop the anchor into the hole
Then, seat the setting tool into the anchor and hammer it using a rotary hammer mode.

The Set It FAST 1/2" drop in anchor set tool is a handy ally in a quick, two-step process for installing drop-in anchors to tackle the most demanding anchoring needs. Just insert the anchor into the target hole, and let the setting tool do the rest. The tool installs the anchor flush to the floor, the wall or into any overhead structure. Once the setting tool has done its job, and the anchor is firmly in place, you can insert bolts into the anchor’s standard threads or threaded rods to fasten and secure the object to the anchor.

And that’s it! The design of the Set It FAST anchor setting tool automatically stops you from driving the internal wedge any deeper. You’re all done!

If you’re using a high-quality setting tool, the installation will proceed flawlessly. As the hammering process continues, the setting tool causes the bottom part of the anchor to deform (open-up or expand) and form a wedge into the concrete hole. This technique ensures a firm and secure grip to any components that are bolted onto the target concrete structure.
