Yep the marking are not accurate, that's what a tape measure is for.We've used both. Some houses a combination.
Things I don't like about zip sticks is that the holes don't always line up right for engineered joists, so you almost have to cut blocks anyway just so the nails will be solid. Also, their measurments are bogus.![]()
Yeah, but thats the whole sales hype about them.... no more measuring!!!!!!!Yep the marking are not accurate, that's what a tape measure is for.
What is a sammy anchor?I use plumbers tape for dwv and talons with water next to a wall. For water through a stud I use sioux chief grommets that you drill a 1 3/8 hole(can't think of the name). For any exposed water, I use split rings or uni strut w/ clamps. Sammy anchors when dealing with all thread in concrete or wood.
