DEWALT’s Automated Powder-Actuated Tool

DEWALT announces their new Fully-Automatic .27 Caliber Powder-Actuated Tool (DFD270). This tool will make fastening to concrete, steel, or I-beam hassle-free.

Construction and renovation often involve securing materials to the base, be it concrete, steel, or I-beam. Whether for safety or structural reasons, the DeWalt DFD270 is designed to make this process faster and more efficient, giving you more time to focus on the work.

What’s New?

This tool is meant for rapid use and features an automatic piston return and load indexing between fastenings. This feature makes it so that the tool will do it instead of having to keep readjusting the machine every time a nail is fastened. Perfect for constant use in high-capacity commercial jobs.

Able to drive both 8mm and .300-inch head fasteners in lengths of ½ inch or 2-⅞ inch, and even ¼-inch thread studs. The tool’s versatility and ease of use come from its power dial and .27 caliber load colors. After your surface test, you can adjust the power dial to suit the base material’s density. That way, you avoid wasting fasteners that could not penetrate the floor or wall, and you will not compromise the integrity of it as well. With the caliber load colors, you can quickly get the proper nail for the material that will give you the secure hold you need.

The tool also integrated the new line of redesigned CSI (Concrete, Steel & I-beam) pin by DeWalt. These pins have a single range and are collated with .145-inch to .157-inch diameter and ½-inch to 2-7/8-inch long. Combined with the tool, these pins will give a velocity-direct fastening system designed for steel and concrete applications.

What also makes the Powder-Actuated helpful tool is the next feature.

Accessories & Accessories

Now, the tool is disassembled and tool-free for easy cleaning and servicing, making it extremely easy to customize. DeWalt has a range of power tool accessories sold separately, enabling the device to perform in various trades and applications. Remember that you can also buy the pieces separately with the tools and kits. If you ever broke or lost a part, you could go to your nearest DeWalt dealer and get a replacement.

You can replace a piece of your kit that you lost or broke, like the driver pistons or nose attachments. You could also order a replacement cleaning kit if you misplaced the one that came with the tool.

Final Thoughts
