Abstract

Tool for driving fastening elements into a hard receiving material, such as concrete, masonry, rock and the like, has a first device (1) for drilling a fastening element into the hard material and a second device (2) for axially propelling the fastening element into the receiving material after it has been partly drilled in. The first device (1) provides a borehole in the hard receiving material by applying rotary movement to the fastening element, possibly with the addition of axially directed striking force. The second device (2) completes the insertion of the fastening element into the receiving material by directing an axial force produced by high pressure gases against the partly drilled in fastening element.
