| SDT 30 Stand-up Decking Tool  Installing metal deck sidelaps just became much faster with the new Hilti SDT 30 Stand-up Decking Tool. It works with a range of collated fasteners, including the new SLC 1, or SideLap Connector. This self-piercing fastener removes minimal base material to maximize load values. The higher load data offers the opportunity to value engineer the metal deck, potentially reducing the deck gauge to save on the steel package, as well as reducing the fastening pattern to lower material costs and labor. Together with the cordless DX 860 stand-up powder-actuated frame fastening tool, Hilti offers a complete Mechanical Fastening System for metal decking. In today's competitive environment, this level of value engineering can be the edge needed to win more projects.With its unique design, the SDT 30 accelerates the installation of metal decking. Ironworkers will no longer have to work in a bent over position, driving screws one at a time or fumbling to reload the tool after every screw. The SDT 30 allows operators to work upright at all times, and it can load up to 50 collated fasteners at a time to extend working times. The SDT 30 is engineered to give operators the flexibility to complete both sidelap and thin bar joist applications with just one tool. It accepts the ST 1800 Metal Screwdriver with adjustable torque clutch, allowing operators to set fasteners correctly. The SDT 30 was specifically designed from the ground up to meet the demands of metal deck installation. write your comments about the article :: © 2009 Construction News :: home page |
