extention for screw gun

[bdonus01]

Does anyone know if there is a tool to install pencil rod to metal decking that is the cieling. There is roofing material on the metal decking. I would like to screw the pencil rod clip from the ground. I cant use a hilti gun with the extention pole because the metal is not filled with concrete.

if there is roofing material on top of the metal decking, how can you penetrate the metal decking with a screw without wrecking the roof?

Use a short screw, there is 3 inches of roofing material then rubber then stones on the roof.

Yes, there is an extension that fits in your cordless drill; I think it requirs a 1/2" chuck. You won't find this at HD, you will need to go to a accustical ceiling supplier.

Assuming it is a typical pan deck ceiling, you drill into the lower portion of the web. Therefore you have no worries with the roofing.
