Powder actuated tools

What happens here

With the Ramset tool loaded, position it precisely over the piece of wood where it needs to be attached to the concrete. Apply a significant amount of downward weight and pressure onto the tool, ensuring it is pressed firmly and squarely against both the wood and the concrete surface beneath it. While maintaining this substantial pressure, pull the trigger. The tool will discharge, powerfully driving the concrete nail through the wood and embedding it securely into the concrete. The presenter then demonstrates the wood is now firmly affixed and resistant to movement.

Goal: Permanently attach the wood piece to the concrete surface

Tools and materials

  • Concrete Surface N/A — The base material to which the wood is being affixed
  • Hearing Protection — Continued ear protection from the loud discharge
  • Ramset Tool Remington — To drive the concrete nail and secure the wood
  • Safety Glasses — Continued eye protection during the firing process
  • Wood Piece — The material being permanently fastened

What they say

Hide

would like a .22. And close that. Now, take your nail and load it in the front just like that. Put as much weight as you can on this tool. Go all the way down and pull the trigger. Fires a nail right into your concrete and this is not going anywheres. Anyways, [clears throat] that's how you use a ram set. I got to finish building this wall. I'll catch you guys later. Peace.
