What happens here

The presenter demonstrates the loading procedure for the Ramset tool. First, a .22 caliber charge (also referred to as a powder load or blank cartridge) is inserted into the rear breech of the tool, in a manner similar to loading a small firearm. After inserting the charge, the breech is closed. Subsequently, a specialized concrete nail, sometimes called a drive pin, is loaded into the front barrel of the tool, completing the preparation for firing.

Goal: Prepare the Ramset tool for operation by loading the necessary components

What they say

Hide

Do you need to attach wood to concrete? Well, let's get after it. This is called a ram set. There are many different ones on the market, but how you use this one in particular, this is a Remington. Take your charge and load it just like you 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
