Fast, Controlled Overhead Fastening—Without Ladders

The Stiffy PAT system is a professional-grade extension pole for powder actuated tools (PAT), designed specifically for overhead fastening applications. Mounted to a telescopic pole, the Stiffy allows you to work safely from the ground while maintaining precision, control, and efficiency.

This telescoping PAT extension system provides a simpler, more ergonomic alternative to PAT extension pole systems offered by Ramset, Hilti, DeWalt & Simpson.

Key Features & Benefits

• Extended Reach: Telescopic poles available in 4’–12’ and 6’–18’ ranges for a wide variety of ceiling heights.
• No Trigger Required: Contact firing system—simply push upward to activate the tool.
• Two-Handed Control: Maintain full control and stability with both hands on the pole at all times.
• Lightweight Design: Reduces fatigue during extended overhead work.
• Improved Fastening Consistency: Better alignment and steady pressure improve fastening performance.

Telescopic Extension Pole Advantages

Lower Shipping Costs

Telescopic poles collapse for shipping, helping avoid oversized freight charges. Fixed poles over 6’ often require costly freight delivery, while telescoping designs ship more economically via standard carriers.

Easy Storage & Transport

A collapsed telescopic pole fits easily into gang boxes and most service vehicles—often with the tool still attached—making transport between job sites more efficient.

Adjustable for Any Job

Adjust the pole in 1-foot increments to match ceiling heights and job requirements. This flexibility eliminates the need for multiple fixed-length poles.

Built for Real Job Site Conditions

The Stiffy was designed specifically as a ceiling fastening tool, not adapted from a handheld unit. This results in better ergonomics and easier operation in tight or low-clearance spaces.

• No bending required in lower ceiling areas
• Maintains perpendicular alignment to the work surface
• Improves control and consistency during fastening

Compatibility

The Stiffy system uses standard .27 caliber strip loads and ceiling clips, making it compatible with many pins and loads from leading powder actuated tool brands, including:

• Ramset
• Hilti
• DeWalt
• Simpson

Note: .25 caliber loads are not compatible.

Already Have a Compatible Pole?

You may be able to use your existing eye lag pole with the Stiffy system. Many poles with interchangeable heads can be adapted with the appropriate components.

• Lagmaster Plus
• Lagmaster A Plus
• Purlin Master

Conversion kits and compatible heads are available. Check the inner diameter of your pole’s smallest section to confirm fit. Minor modifications, such as drilling new holes, may be required.

Get the Job Done Faster and Safer

The Stiffy PAT & telescopic pole system delivers greater reach, improved control, and reduced fatigue—helping you complete overhead fastening tasks more efficiently from the ground.
