Thank you for this video. Quick story about the Ramset I bought.... I was doing a small job in my basement and I needed to tie a wall into the concrete floor. I needed a Ramset but couldn't really afford it. My sister and her husband were at the house and she said she'd get it and I could pay her back. So I went down to the shop and bought one. I went down stairs and drove a nail in and then she came down to see what the noise was. I asked her if she wanted to try it and she did. After she drove that first nail, she looked up at me and said, "If you let me do the rest, you don't have to pay me back."

Just as a gun enthusiast I’d say load the mail before the .22 blank just to ensure all safety esp with trigger operated

Thank you for this video.
I have to drive nails into the concrete in my little workshop and I have to do it myself as all the contractors, including the ones who built my shop for me are gone for the winter. I was intimidated by this tool, but this video helped me get a little more confidence using it myself.

Great overview, because I hadn't used one of these tools in about 10 years. Exactly what I needed to see to remind me the press hard on the loaded ramset to get it to fire. Thanks!

Can you explain why you use the washer? I thought you said it is to NOT countersink, but then you hammer it down after the shot anyway? Why not get a higher load to sink the washer or skip the washer altogether with a lower load?

[robertchamberlain]

Simply follow the manufacturer's instructions and do NOT follow his example in this video. You should always load the nail fastener BEFORE loading the .22 powder load. Also, you should never put your hand in front over the muzzle of the tool, which he does very casually even though it's quite dangerous. Just like a gun, it's safest if you treat every tool as if it's loaded even if you think it's not and respect how dangerous mistakes can be.

Question: I’m planning to finish my cold room the ceiling is concrete, can I use this backwards to get the top plate on the ceiling?

[justsomeguy]

I do have to wonder how the nail goes into the concrete without shattering it. When you put a nail in wood, the nail essentially displaces the wood fibers, and the friction holds it in place.

But concrete has a much different structure.

If it doesn’t sink you got to finish driving it “misses 6 times” nice and sunk in smooth rub
