Light-Duty Hammer-Drive Masonry Anchors
Specified for anchorage into concrete, block and brick

The Redi-Drive® is a high performance small diameter one-piece hammer drive anchor. The anchor holds based on a friction principle - The shank diameter is larger than the drill hole size. Anchors shall be installed with carbide-tipped hammer drill bits made in accordance to ANSI B212.15-1994.

The Redi-Drive® is available in four types...mushroom head, pipe-hanging (1/4" & 3/8") FM approved (on 3/8"), Tie-Wire, and double-head forming versions. Anchor performance in solid concrete at one inch embedment shall exceed 400 lbs. allowable tension load and 750 lbs. allowable shear load.

Why pay more for a bent nail when the Redi-Drive® holds more, drives straight
AND COSTS LESS
Why is Redi-Drive® better than a bent nail?
  • Costs less - Saves money
  • Holds almost twice as much - provides high factor of safety
  • Drill a smaller hole - means cheaper bit
  • Installs straight - easier installation
  • Can be installed at 3/4" embedment and holds much more in hollow and grout filled masonry - more applications with fewer anchors
  • Redi-Drive has 360° full length contact compared to a nails 3 point of contact

Are you tired of product waste and poor product performance?
REDI-DRIVE® IS THE ALTERNATIVE
Why is Redi-Drive® better than a nail drive anchor?
  • No broken heads or bent drive pins - no waste
  • Holds almost four times as much - provides high factor of safety
  • Drill a smaller hole - means cheaper bit
  • Tamper resistant - provides more safety
  • More clamping force of fastener head - longer life and less movement of fixture
  • Redi-Drive has 360° full length contact compared to a nail-drives 2 point of contact

Sometimes STRESS is a Good Thing!

Concrete stress (compressive strength) on an anchor is a good thing.
The degree of anchor contact with the concrete creates stress that provides the holding power.
