Hilti Forming Nail X-SL 97 DP8

The Hilti X-SL 97 DP8 Forming Nail is a 97 mm powder-actuated fastener engineered for quickly anchoring timber formwork or temporary bracing to concrete or structural steel when used with compatible Hilti DX tools.

Features + Benefits:

Diamond-Point Tip (DP8): Precision-ground point drives cleanly into hard concrete or steel with reduced spalling.
97 mm Overall Length: Reaches through thick plywood and double-layer studs for secure formwork fixing.
Knurled Shank: Micro-ridges increase pull-out resistance, helping forms stay tight under pour pressures.
Galvanised Finish: Zinc coating offers basic corrosion protection for pour-and-strip applications.
DX-Tool Compatible: Fits Hilti DX 5, DX 460 and other DX powder-actuated tools for rapid, repeatable installation.
Product Uses: Fastening plywood, 2 × 4 kickers, walers, or spreaders to concrete slabs or steel beams in general construction formwork, temporary bracing, and site staging where removal after the pour is expected.
Pack Size: Box of 100 nails (single fasteners, cartridges sold separately).
