Nitroset takes key safety and environmental concerns into consideration when manufacturing its solid propellant fastening system. Powered by nitrocell charges rather than traditional primer or gunpowder, Nitroset is able to cleanly drive nails into normal to hard aggregate concrete surfaces. Its lightweight and low-profile design makes it easy to handle and use in tight spaces. Operation is considerably quieter than explosive charges, making the Nitroset system ideal for occupied buildings.
