Here are a few tips to help you get professional results with the help of a drive pin setting tool:
Tip #1 - Drill Your Anchor Hole to the Proper Depth
By drilling the hole correctly, you lay a sturdy foundation for your anchor. The hole for your anchor should be drilled to a specific depth, as recommended by the manufacturer. A hole that is too shallow or too deep can compromise the anchor's strength. Make sure to follow general best practices and manufacturer guidelines to achieve top-notch results.
Tip #2 – Clear the Drilling Area of Any Debris
Before you get started on installing your drive pin anchor, make sure the surrounding area is free of debris. Clear out the hole with either a blow tube, blow bulb, or vacuum for an ideal fit. Preparing the area will create a stronger hold and provide a safer installation. If you're in a rush and forget this step, the overall holding power of the anchor won't be at its best.
Tip #3 – Align the Drive Pin Tool
When it comes to anchoring during a concrete or masonry project, the drive pin anchor setting tool can be a lifesaver. But it's important to use the tool correctly if you want your anchor to hold firmly. Start by placing the anchor into the setting tool with the nail-head first. Then, using your trusty setting tool, push the anchor into the hole you have drilled making sure everything lines up just right before you start driving the pin. With the right alignment, your drive pin anchor will be able to keep your load safely secured.
Tip #4 – Use a Hammer Drill or Rotary Hammer for Quick Installation
Save time and effort during your installation process by using a hammer drill or rotary hammer. These tools offer the convenience of a rotary hammer mode, eliminating the need for mode-changing and allowing for easy switching between drilling and anchor-setting tasks. With one less thing to worry about, you can stay focused on the job at hand.
Tip #5 – Check Your Work
Be sure to check your work as you go. Make sure the pins are fully inserted and that the anchored device are properly aligned. A few extra seconds can make all the difference in ensuring a safe, secure installation.
