I do a fair amount of steel framing, always used an impact driver. and self drilling zips, although I recently switched to self drilling wafer head screws.
Recently someone asked my why there wasn't a riveting system for installing them. So I did some research and actually found some articles on framing riveters. but I have been unable to find any for sale or find out who makes them... Any info there would be great. Also I found the versapin nailer that seems like a dream but as I looked closer at the site seems all they make is for 18g and thicker... I frame with 20g Interior mostly.... I do very little exterior steel framing, so not really worth buying the setup for it...
So questions are ...
Whats the fastest setup you know of for steel framing 20g... riveter, nailgun?..

Look into the TecPin fastening systen from ITW Ramset, or the systen fron MAXX. They both have pneumatic fasteners or gas fasteners like a Paslode that have ICBO ratings to macth up with the fastener.

Hey, I did'nt answer the question. the above are great systems, but not a hell ua lot faster than, a screwgun and K- Lath screws, if that is not fast enuf look @ the Grabber Super Drive it has all of the ICBO"s and easy to get. If you are lucky the vendors in your area will have the TF1100 and TePins, but really only good for 30-33 mil studs or heavier:thumbsup:
As with any DIY home improvement, a few hints or tips can go a long way towards making the project a roaring success. Building a steel shed starts just as any other building project would. Steel sheds are built from the bottom up. In this case, the bottom meaning the pad or foundation. Pouring a concrete slab is a bit too strenuous a job for most homeowners. It is recommended that you hire a masonry contractor for this part of your building endeavor. Still, there are a few things you will want to do in this phase, in order to make the actual assembly of your steel shed go more smoothly.
:noude, are you fluent in english?:no: Your reply is from outer space, (sorry man gotta call them as I see them). NOWHERE did ANYONE say anything about "DIY" - "steel sheds" - or all the other babble you posted. Are you sure you are in the right forum?
Ahh makes sense; I've only seen em on residential sites, basement reno's. On commercial sites all I see are sharp point K-laths and self-tapping waffer-heads.
Closetpro,
Barkri12 tucked tail & ran on this one didn't he? Some one must have slipped something in his coffee that day?
