Hilti dx-451

[Vermaraj]

Found one at a local garage sale for $10 in very good shape. I know its a powder actuated driver but have no idea what the capacity or capabilities are. Anybody have any documentation or experience with this gun?

We are building a new house out of concrete so a powder actuated driver is a necessity. Figure for $10 you can't go wrong. Not I just have to figure out how to use it.

Got a pic? I don't know what a Hilti dx-451 is ... :confused:

Do you hit it with a hammer, or does it have a trigger?

Its trigger operated. This is a picture I found on ebay. The one I bought didn't come with the case and it only has one loading arm.

Just wondering what the difference is between the loading arms?

Used to be around here the Hilti guy would frequent construction jobsites and contractor shops just like a Snap-On or Mac guy going to mech. shops and dealers. They would of course sell, but also service their products out of the van or truck (same with Senco nailers). You might check your local yellow pages and see what you can find out. I see their website has a section for downloads for manuals etc also.

The Home Depot stores around here have a Hilti tool section now. I see the Hilti rep working the booth from time to time. You might check with the HD store near you and ask when the rep is due to stop by.
