Have you used it?

I don't think I've seen a pipe where stated that the monster nail was the method of rustication..

Best regards, Jon

The compression fitting didn't work for me either.

Me either. The nails just spread around and eventually pushed out. I like the liquid nails idea! :lol:

Nail Tool works fine for me...

and here's what a pipe looks like after you attack it with that tool (far right)

The bathroom sink in my Mom's front bathroom might or might not have hot water plumed to it.

Jens, have you got a shot of the texture your tool leaves? I'm curious because I used 5 screws and have them packed into about a 8mm hole, so my diameter is way smaller and so is my number of teeth. I get a very dense texture.

Well, this, for example, has been done with that tool:

I guess the density of the structure is more dependent on how often, and with what pressure, you apply the tool, than on how many teeth it actually has.
I'm actually thinking about a smaller nail tool to work with in narrow corners, this one won't reach every point on every pipe ...
