Introducing the Simpson Strong-Tie® Quik Drive® PROHSD Wood-to-Steel Fastening Solution The engineers at Simpson Strong-Tie have developed a faster, more reliable, more ergonomic method for fastening wood to steel in many applications, such as truck beds and trailer floors. Introducing the Simpson Strong-Tie Quik Drive PROHSD Wood-to-Steel solution. The solution consists of the PROHSD60 tool (for fasteners up to 60 mm or 2 3/8”) or the PROHSD75 tool (for fasteners up to 75 mm or 3”), along with optional components that equip each tool for stand-up operation, plus two types of fasteners made for wood-to-steel applications: •
Compact driver body for reduced weight and easy handling
•
PROHSD60M and PROHSD75M tools equipped with a unique, redesigned nosepiece for greater stability and more accurate driving (PROHSD60 and PROHSD75 tools equipped with the standard Quik Drive nosepiece)
•
Integrated footstep for applying additional pressure when driving through steel
•
Stand-up driving extension that relieves stress on knees, back and shoulders
•
1,000 rpm to 2,000 rpm driver motor with Quik Drive adapter
•
Strong-Drive®TB Wood-to-Steel screws and Strong-Drive TF Woodto-Steel screws with self-drilling points and self-tapping threads.
For original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and truck bed manufacturers, the Quik Drive PROHSD Wood-to-Steel solution offers improved efficiency and higher performance than traditional installation methods. For factory technicians, it’s a faster, more ergonomic way to work every day with greater accuracy — and less fatigue. Continued next page
