DriveTack^TM

How the DriveTack Works

Simple place the DriveTack on the magnetic tip of the Hand Driver or the Gripnail #22 low impact pneumatic tool which securely holds the fastener during application.

Align the nameplate and base metal holes with the tapered position point which works like a drift pin.

A secure fastening is created when the DriveTack's helically knurled shank cuts into the base material. The nameplate is now held with a permanent, mechanical fastening.

Application Equipment

A DriveTack may be applied three different ways:

1. Hand Driver speeds attaching name plates and small parts - (Part# 20512).
2. A DriveTack is most often installed with a light weight, low impact air tool - (Part# 211).
3. Custom press is available to high production, dedicated assembly operations - (Call Gripnail to speak with a operations and development specialist).
