Hilti DX 2 Powder-actuated Fastening Tool Preview

Hilti DX 2 Powder Actuated Fastening Tool

Hilti’s making power-actuated fastening even better with the latest edition Hilti DX 2. Hilti has been in the powder-actuated fastening end of the business since the 1950’s. They brought the DX 350 to market as the first semi-automatic model. Now they’ve brought semi-auto convenience to the Hilti DX 2 with 10 round magazine cartridge strips.


I don’t know about you, but the idea of firing off some semi-auto rounds on a slow Monday morning sounds like a good way to get the week started. It’ll make for some solid stress relief at any point. The guys got to try out the new Hilti DX 2 at World of Concrete back in February and had this to say:

“Powder-actuated fastening is a key component of getting material attached to concrete faster than using Tapcons or other similar methods. Now that Hilti’s popular DX 2 is semi-automatic, productivity will be greatly increased over single shot models.”
