How it works
1
Set your spacing once
Lay out the run a single time. The 12″ handle becomes your repeatable standoff for every drop after it.
2
Drive the lead pin
A few hits on the 1/8″ drive head sets the 3/8″ anchor into deck or concrete — no pre-drill shuffle.
3
Hook the drop
The 1/4″ hole in the 60° bend catches the hanger rod or wire and holds it right where you set it.
4
Move on down the run
Pull it, slide to the next mark, repeat. One pass — every drop on the money.
