Assembly and installation of a keepSafe shelter requires only a minimal number of common tools.

Safety glasses

Always wear eye protection when using any tool.

Two 9/16 inch wrenches

These can be any combination of open end, box end, or socket wrenches.

Two 3/4 inch wrenches

These too can be any combination of open end, box end, or socket wrenches.

A bull pin

This can be any tapered steel rod, such as a drift punch, a center punch, heavy nail set, or heavy screwdriver. It will be used to align holes prior to inserting a bolt.

A hammer drill and 1/2 inch masonry bit

These will be used to drill holes in the concrete slab to which you will mount your keepSafe shelter. The hammer drill can be rented from most tool rental centers, and masonry bits are available at hardware stores and home centers.

Tools that you may also find helpful include:

• Framing Square
• Straight Edge or Chalk Box
• Heavy pry bar and two 8 foot pieces of 1"x 2" lumber. These will be useful if, in order to gain access to all four sides of your keepSafe shelter during assembly, you'll be sliding your shelter into final position against a wall or into a corner before mounting.
