The Simpson DIABST62 Setting Tool for 5/8-in. Rod DIAB Drop-In Anchor is a dedicated installation tool from Simpson engineered to properly and consistently install DIAB Drop-In internally threaded anchors in concrete. Constructed from carbon steel, this setting tool drives the expander plug toward the bottom of the anchor until the shoulder of the setting tool makes contact with the top of the anchor - delivering a reliable, repeatable set for both standard and overhead anchor placements.

Key Features

• Designed specifically for DIAB anchors - ensures full compatibility with Simpson Drop-In model DIAB62, eliminating guesswork and reducing the risk of improper installation.
• Drives expander plug to a controlled depth - the shoulder of the setting tool contacts the top of the anchor to signal a complete, consistent set every time.
• Rated for overhead applications - confidently installs drop-in anchors in ceiling and inverted concrete surfaces where a secure set is critical.
• Carbon steel construction - provides the durability needed to withstand repeated hammer driving during anchor installation.
• Caution: Oversized holes will make it difficult to set the anchor and will reduce the anchor's load capacity - proper hole sizing is essential to achieving rated holding performance.

Why This Product

• Purpose-built for consistent results - because this tool is matched specifically to the DIAB62 anchor, it removes the inconsistency of improvised methods and helps ensure each anchor is fully and properly expanded.
• Supports demanding overhead work - the tool is designed to set drop-in anchors for overhead applications, making it a reliable choice for ceiling installations and other inverted concrete fastening tasks.
• Durable carbon steel for jobsite use - the carbon steel body stands up to the repeated impact forces involved in driving expander plugs, giving installers a tool that holds up through multiple sets.
• Pairs directly with separately available DIAB62 anchors - contractors can source the setting tool and drop-in anchors to complete a fully compatible Simpson system for internally threaded concrete anchor installations.
