Years ago Hilti sold a gadget under this slogan. It was essentially a
tough plastic sleeve with an inner punch and was designed to make
driving hardened picture-hanging nails into masonry safe and easy for
the average joe.

It worked well but I've lost mine and I would like to buy another.
Hilti don't seem to make anything like that any more. Any ideas where
I can get one, or something similar?


Still availible from Hilti. It is the BD1hand drvie tool. Look at
www.hilti.co.uk under the DX tools section.

Many thanks. I had looked round the Hilti site but didn't spot that one. The
Hilti page says this:

Uses:- Hand driving of 'micky pins'
