Steel studs fixing tool

Abstract From the Canadian patent

The erection of metallic frame dry walls requires in a first phase, the , setting, of studs between floor plates and top plates. When such walls exceed 244 cm high, contractors usually call upon two workers to assemble using scaffolds and , common tools, the metallic frame. The invention is a tool that allows an employee working alone, without, the use of a scaffold, to erect metallic frames between 244 and 488 centimeters high. Using, this tool, a stud can be aligned and fixed permanently between the plates at , the desired, location, by two crimping heads at both ends. The tool makes the procedure faster, more, accurate and requires less handling than the traditional method.
