M8 Drop-In Anchor Setting Punch (without hand guard)

Set drop-in anchors effectively

Robust drop-in anchor setting punch specifically designed for use with the M6 drop-in anchors.

Manufactured to effectively set a drop-in anchor in place which will allow for a permanent threaded socket within non-cracked concrete and masonry. 

Used with a hammer, the setting punch causes the plug within the drop-in anchor to expand the ends of the anchor against the walls of the drilled hole, which firmly holds the anchor in place.

These setting punches are a practical addition to the toolkit of builders, contractors, engineers and installation professionals working with concrete fixings.

How to use a drop-in anchor setting punch

• Drill the hole: Drill the correct diameter and depth for the selected drop-in anchor.
• Clean the hole: Remove drilling dust and debris using an appropriate hole-cleaning method.
• Insert the anchor: Position the drop-in anchor in the prepared hole.
• Set the anchor: Use the correctly sized setting punch and a suitable hammer to drive the expansion mechanism into position.

Anchor setting punch frequently asked questions

Can I also buy the drop-in anchors with the punch?

What is a drop-in anchor setting punch used for?

A drop-in anchor setting punch is used to expand and secure an internally threaded drop-in anchor inside a pre-drilled hole in concrete. It is struck with a hammer to activate the anchor's internal expansion mechanism.

How do I know which size setting punch I need?

You need to match the setting punch to the nominal thread size of the drop-in anchor. For example, an M6 drop-in anchor requires the corresponding M6 setting punch. Always check the manufacturer's compatibility information, particularly when using different anchor ranges.

Do drop-in anchor setting punches have a hand guard?

This version does not feature a hand guard but there are versions available that do have a hand guard. See the full range of drop in anchor setting punches from Fusion Fixings.

Can drop-in anchors be installed without a setting punch?

It is always best practice to use a dedicated setting punch to expand the anchor as intended. If you use an unsuitable tool, it can easily result in compromising the intended performance of the fixing.
