I used to work at a company that had a prism pole with a concrete nail driver built into it. It would drive a nail in with I believe was a blank 22 cartridge. Do they still make this? I can't seem to find one. Any help would be much appreciated.

I think there is a European country that produces an adapter that goes on to the bottom of the pole that holds a paint pen.
Though I actually like the Ramset idea, you could use a rod level and take it off before you shoot the nail.

Hayes Instrument Company got one to try out probably 15 years ago. It worked but we never sold any that I know of.

It always seemed like a needlessly complicated idea to me, but then I've never encountered a situation in which I'd want to drive a nail at every shot location. And I certainly don't want to carry around a Ramset driver on the end of my prism pole for everyday work.

I think they were sold as "Prism pole, with report"...


The only superior evidence is that which you haven't yet found.

It's not Poland is it? My father in law would love that.

I don't remember, it was in some trade show advertisement I had come across some where.

Back in my Party Chief days, I have worked with guys that I was afraid to give a hammer to use. I can't imagine running around with explosives.
