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.

The best nail gun we (Hilti) ever made for fixing into steel.

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 👍

I have a few bits of dowel with a saw slot in them t get into tubes/barrels etc, Scotch-Brite wraps around them lovely and they clean out with those blue tissue rolls like you see to have.

It's very therapeutic to remove the grim/rust from tools and get them back to working order.

I think for that price you can not go wrong and maybe as time goes on you may think of Applications that you can use it more then it was designed for

What a thing!! What are the fixings actually for once in place?

- 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 👍

Can I ask what sort of auction you bought this at and where it was? Would love to see a tool auction. Thanks
@kellyman92 Жыл бұрын
- 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 😉

What is the best option to get a crushering? Meta's being impacted so much that it's almost fused to the barrel
@jakeya51978 ай бұрын
- Not sure about that, without seeing it. If you can’t prise it out, you might have to use a hammer and chisel or similar!

- @@ultimatehandyman If you clean most of the dirt off with a brush and put it in a suitable tupperware container it keeps working for ages. I just drop the items in an airtight container overnight and it works like a charm. I the seal it for next time. Cheers

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.

What nails does it take as was given one but need the nails
@charliebeaven83502 ай бұрын
- 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.
  @RB-xg2vz26 күн бұрын
- For fixing to steel beam - minimum steel thickness is 4mm….theres no maximum.
