- If you have ever tried to connect Unistrut and not been able to fit a socket into the slot, this is the tool you need. Made in Sheffield England, the Dawson Strut Channel Socket is the ticket. Secure track to the wall with wedge anchors easily and with enough torque to set them. Did I mention fast?
Please check out the below Amazon links to purchase these strut sockets. We make a small portion of the sale price that helps the channel out and it costs you nothing extra! Thanks.

If you do this you're installing it so whoever has to come back and move it/change it down the line they'll have a rough time, unless they have the tool as well. 3/8" material is usually fine, if you want 1/2" just use longer bolts with square washers so the bolt head is accesible
Unistrut is such a great product but it's too dang expensive. The channel itself is an ok price but the fittings are insane even on discounted sites. Other wise I would use Unistrut for all my projects.
Great video explaining this useful tool. Even on small jobs, these will save tons of time and make your installs go much faster!
Thanks for watching!
I actually just wedge the claw of my hammer in between the unistrut walls, opens up just enough to get my 3/4" socket in there, and the unistrut bounces right back into shape!
Thanks for sharing
Grind your socket down.... Both side.. I did this 20 years ago.
You'd have to grind all the way around until the diameter is less than .875"
Take a look at the engineering data for fasteners. Compare things like withdrawal and shear to the data for strut. “Superstrut’s” catalog contains all the data you’ll need.
I haven’t run into any real world case where a fastener NOT INSTALLED in the channel clamping mode should exceed 3/8” diameter in grade 3 or 5.
If you know of such an application, please let me know.
Thank you
Just out of curiosity could a person use a crows foot socket? They are used mainly by technicians (mechanics) but also used by other industries and MIGHT be a little cheaper? Those sockets look well constructed and if installing strut everyday I would certainly own both sizes, thank you for sharing
Thanks for posting. Good video.
Use a flat washer on top no need for any sockets
Why not to simply use allen head bolts?
Does anyone know if you can get a trolley to fit in standard Unistrut with bolts securing the channel to say a 4 x 4". Thanks in advance. Cheers.
Just order my job pays for anything that makes job more professional and productive.
12 gauge.
Thanks! Wasn't sure on the gauge...
@@DanSarahMakers No problem. 12 gauge is .097 inches and ten gauge is .118 inches. Both are just shy of 1/8" as a minimum thickness.
