How it works
one pass down the run- Set your spacing onceLay out the run a single time. The 12″ handle becomes your repeatable standoff for every drop after it.
- Drive the lead pinA few hits on the 1/8″ drive head sets the 3/8″ anchor into deck or concrete — no pre-drill shuffle.
- Hook the dropThe 1/4″ hole in the 60° bend catches the hanger rod or wire and holds it right where you set it.
- Move on down the runPull it, slide to the next mark, repeat. One pass — every drop on the money.
