STEEL STUD CRIMPER CRIMP FRAMING PUNCH LOCK NOT MALCO PL1

[TheRedarmy03]

has no one ever heard of heavy gauge studs on you tube???...they are load bearing and are often used around door frames...crimpers are fast but trying to move a stud after it is crimped ..is a nightmare.. and often times results in damaging the stud..it would be fine for home use but not for commercial or industrial purposes where often times changes can force the relocation of studs ..but a good product overall ..it has it's place in some applications

I used the old one. great tool(it's the singer not the song )in some cases it eliminates claps. True, some city codes calls for screws only.you can get journeyman out front,without gun to crimp in place send apprentices to put in screws. this will reduce cost of leaning how to make that screwgun sing, especially on pervailing wage jobs!or on outside of headers you can reduce build up of metal tabs + screws on out side of openings.install screws get passed on inspection have hangers remove screw

You are talking about steel studs, which are mainly used in internal fit outs, non load bearing. as the video states the Plasterboard (Dry-Wall) strengths up the frame, a lot of interior fit outs don't even screw the studs into the top or bottom track as when you sheet, that is when you fix off. saves time.

why would builing inspector not pass it , it`s not a load bearing system it`s for cosmetic purposes , screws cause bumps in wall and dont allow for deflection , also have you ever tried doing alterations when studs are screwed in what a nightmare

No thanks ! You sound stoned to start with and that's normal for metal framers& hangers but I'll stick to my hilti and screws....lol . You'll have to PROVE to me that the crimper is stronger than the studs being screwed with panhead screws.

not designed to be the only fixing, normally its to position the studs quickly and accuratley then when you screw the board on its the screws that give the finished fixing

my building inspector not gonna pass contection like this

[BobBBobby]

@vxAREKxv Greetings, your building inspector may not pass a connection like this where you work at, but not all building codes are the same everywhere, right? Most of my sales are to the UK, Europe, and Australia where a tool like this is acceptable.

I never tried it, but I'd say you could "tack" the studs into position with the crimper, and have a helper (at a lower wage) come along and quickly install screws where the crimps were made.

Thanks!

are there nails in that or something?

[rapidvxr]

@99xxxxxxxx no , it folds the metal from the front part of the hole through the back and bends it over , or thats what other brands do
