A fastener installation tool and method for interference fit, said fastener (10) comprising a head and a grasping element, said tool comprising a first body (30) extending along a first main axis and having: —at least one load-reacting surface, of which one also constitutes a surface for the application of a load; —a load transmission surface, and—a housing extending along the first main axis from a first end of said first body, said housing being extended along the first main axis by a drilling extending from said housing as far as a second end of said first body. According to the invention, the load transmission surface is situated at the second end of the first body (30) and extends perpendicular to the first main axis, said load transmission surface being dimensioned to be able to bear simultaneously on the head and on the insert clamp.

A wedge anchor driver for driving an anchor having a bolt into a surface such that a portion of the bolt is exposed, the wedge anchor driver having a flute extending between a top end and a shaft, the flute housing a plurality of cavities having a first cavity configured to fit onto a first nut, the first cavity having a first socket size; a second cavity configured to fit onto a second nut, the second cavity having a second socket size smaller than the first socket size; and a third cavity configured to receive the portion of the bolt; wherein the anchor driver shaft is lockable into a hammer drill, such that a user can drive the anchor into a corresponding hole with the hammer drill in a hammer mode, and then tighten the first nut or the second nut by switching the hammer to a drill mode.

A tool for use with Quick Release (QR) fasteners, and related methods and kits. The tool generally includes an elongate main body with a fastener-receiving area. The fastener-receiving area is configured to simultaneously support the head of the QR fastener and depress the button of the QR fastener. The fastener-receiving area includes a slot that is distally and downwardly open, two shoulders that bound the slot, and a ventral surface. The QR fastener is inserted into the slot so that the head of the QR fastener rests on the first and second shoulders, the collar portion of the QR fastener extends through the slot, and the ventral surface depresses the button of the QR fastener. With the button depressed in this fashion, the retention feature of the QR fastener is released, which allows the worker to manipulate the QR fastener by moving the tool.

A power tool for joining a deformable element having a threaded shaft to a workpiece. The joining tool comprising a threaded dowel adapted to receive the threaded shaft and rotatably within the housing. A nose is arranged around the threaded dowel, and the dowel is slidably movable relative to the nose. A motor drives a drive train to rotate the threaded dowel. A hydraulic system drives another drive train to move the threaded shaft and compress the deformable element. The joining tool includes a sliding unit. The nose is attachable to the sliding unit, and in an attached position the nose is slidably connected to the housing so that the hydraulic system may move the nose axially to compress the deformable element.

A setting tool used in a method for percussively driving an anchor rod into a borehole in a substrate has a drive-side end and, in an opposite tool direction, an end facing away from the drive. The setting tool has a tool adapter that forms the drive-side end and is arranged to interact with a driven impact tool. The end facing away from the drive is formed by a receiving element that has a recess arranged to receive part of an anchor rod. The tool adapter and the receiving element are coupled together by a coupling element such that an impact force introduced via the tool adapter is transmitted to an anchor rod arranged in the recess of the receiving element. The coupling element, in particular a coil spring, is arranged to allow for a displacement of at least part of the receiving element transversely to the tool direction.

A tool for insertion and extraction of temporary fasteners that enables by a plurality of retractable elements, an automatic engagement of the tool on the head of the temporary fastener, without the need for any rotation of the tool with regard to the head, and by lockable grasping units, operated internally locking elements, a high retention and extraction force is achieved, favouring the elimination of the risk of the clamp detaching itself from the tool, enabling control of the entire insertion and extraction process of temporary fasteners. Rapid, effective automation of the use and procedure of the temporary fasteners can be achieved, improving economic profitability and the reliability of their use.
