Hammer-in fixings streamline the masonry fixing process by combining the wall plug and the driving nail in a single assembly that's installed in one hammer action rather than two separate operations. At the DIY Hardware Store, our hammer-in fixings are the go-to fastener for quick, reliable connections in brick, block, and concrete when the traditional plug-then-screw sequence would be slower than the job warrants.
The principle is straightforward: pre-drill the hole to the correct diameter, insert the combined fixing with its expanding sleeve, and drive the pin home with a hammer. As the pin enters the sleeve, it forces the sleeve legs outward, expanding them against the masonry walls and locking the fixing in place. They're used for light and medium-duty applications including pipe clips, batten fixing, shelf bracket anchoring, and hanging fittings in masonry walls where the fixing will not be adjusted or removed after installation.
