Powder tools actuated fasteners are used to bond various construction materials together, such as wood and concrete, or steel and concrete. What do we mean by powder actuated? The tool holds a charge of gunpowder that is ignited and literally blows the fastener into place with the same pressure of a bullet being fired. Powder actuated fastening is a unique and very cost-efficient method that is used in a variety of construction situations from home building to large urban structures. When you see a bridge being built, it's a powder actuated tool that's being used to connect the steel to the concrete. This "power load" pushes a piston inside the tool that slams a special heat-treated and hardened steel nail (a "drive pin") through wood and into concrete. It takes only seconds to load and fire a stud gun, so you can drive dozens of fasteners quickly.
