ABSTRACT:
An improved method for anchoring to a concrete base a wood floor attachment member having top and bottom sides, a number of passthrough holes, and compressible pads attached to its bottom side. The method uses pointed fasteners having radially projecting heads and sleeves that are inserted in the passthrough holes. Each sleeve has an annular flange at its proximal end that overlies the attachment member and its center bore has a counterbore at the proximal end. The method also comprises use of a fastener driver having a nozzle sized to enter said sleeve counterbore but not said center bore, a hammer bore for receiving a fastener, and a hammer in the nozzle bore that is powered to engage the fastener head and drive the fastener into locking engagement with the base via said center bore, whereby to fix the sleeve surrounding the fastener, and the floor attachment member, to the base.
