There are two ways I know to drive corrugated fasteners. If you need
to drive a lot of them both Senco and Paslode make pneumatic nailers
to insert them rather easily. You will need to drive a lot of them to
justify the cost of the tool.
There also is a small and inexpensive tool (possibly made by Stanley
or General). It is an aluminum rectangle about one and a half inches
deep, in which you insert the fastener and a separate blade which fits
behind the fastener. You hand hold the assembly and use a hammer to
drive the blade.
At best, they are easy and cheap to use but tend to crush the wood
fibers. Good application is assembling orange crates.
