Powder-Actuated Fastening Tool

Hilti Inc.

August 14, 2015

From the industry leader in direct fastening, a premium tool for daily work: the new Hilti Powder-actuated fastening tool DX 2.  Building on a legacy of our revolutionary direct fastening portfolio, the DX 2 delivers premium performance.

The DX 2 covers a wide range of applications including attaching kicker plates to concrete; fastening sill plates; attaching drywall to concrete; fastening electrical cable holders to concrete; attaching chicken mesh to concrete; and, fastening wood to concrete and steel.  For overhead applications such as acoustical ceiling suspension using pre-tied wires, a pole tool assembly for the DX 2 is also available.

With a fastener range of ½”- 2 ½”; 2 – 7/8” (with pre-mounted washer) this tool provides powerful, reliable performance and the ability to access narrow spaces. 

The Hilti Powder-actuated fastening DX 2 is built to provide long-term service under the most rugged conditions. For added peace of mind, the DX 2 is also backed by Hilti Lifetime Service, a unique service agreement that includes two year of no-cost repair coverage.

For more information on the Hilti Powder-actuated fastening DX 2, please contact Hilti Customer Service. From the U.S., call Hilti, Inc., at 1-800-879-8000 or visit https://www.us.hilti.com/dx-2; from Canada, call Hilti (Canada) Corporation at 1-800-363-4458 or visit https://www.hilti.ca/dx-2.
