This is the best concrete gun I’ve used . Simple design / powerful/ easily potable/ fit small space /never never ever jam. Way better than others(including hilti latest version ). Old School never die……
You got blowout and cracked the paving stone because you used too high power "Red" load. Should use green first and work your way up if it is not enough power. Green, then yellow, then red. Also the material you are fastening into should be 3x the length of the fastener.
I was attaching 1x4 to brick re hanging sheet rock in apartment some years back when I was doing maintenance work hilta gun blowing nails all way through brick I ended up just build wall out 2x4 and attaching it o ceiling and floor
This is way more fun than a wedge anchor tho. At work we just drill a hole in the cement, and in the wood. Then pound in a big nail with a piece of wire.
I was in a vessel once doing some XP proofing on electrical system, when a guy decided he needed to hilti shot the basket tray in, and not yell shot first. Even with ear plugs my crews ears were ringing hahah.
The Hilti model you hit with a hammer and it shot is more accurate but like you said a violent tool that needs to be respected when using. Great to set your material on concrete at a green color 60-75% cured so u don't get that cracking and chip in. Awesome video
So, I'm writing a novel, where my protagonist is stuck in a 7 story building under construction on the top floor, she finds one of these,. What it destroyed doorlock? ? Would there be a way to fire it without compressing the nose and on a flat surface?
cool! you can fire it if you pull back the nose with your fingers, it would probably damage the lock but it wouldn't wreck it to the point of being able to open it. but you could say that it did. A good example of a movie where they over embellished what a nail gun can do is one of the lethal weapon movies. Murdok shoots a nail gun at an intruder. it looked cool but it wasn't accurate to how it actually works.
@@hammerandhome Funny I just wrote the line where she shot it into the lock at the same exact moment that my tablet notified me of your message. Thank you for your reply. I made sure that I stated that it was the red loads not the yellow or green which are weaker from what I understand. Also mentioning that the nails have washers on them which may be would have destroyed the lock a little bit more I'm hoping are I used to have one of these things, Somebody had left it behind and I had kept it though I had nothing to load it with and wasn't sure what to do with it I wound up selling it on eBay or marketplace or something this was years ago probably not marketplace. Probably craigslist. Anyway I may write you back at some point in time and ask you other Tech questions I have a couple of other people I'm asking as well good to get a few opinions if you don't mind.
@@truthmatters4654 of course! would love to hear how it's going! although fyi sometimes I can take a little long to answer when I'm deep into a construction project. best of luck with it!
I think it just gives you more options. Concrete can either be very hard if it’s old or very soft when is new. Also depends on its strength, so having the ability to adjust your tool would be nice.
Cool video, by the way this is a tool not a gun - Low velocity powder actuated fastening tool to be precise. When fired, 80% of the kinetic energy in the cartridge/shot gets transferred to an internal piston which drives the nail into steel or concrete (green/yellow concrete red/black steel). Guns fire bullets at high velocities. Tip always use ballistic rated safety googles when handling these tools ;)
It sounds just as loud as a hand gun and even louder if you’re inside a building framing studs/ tracks, you’re required to say “ fire in the hole” every time you shoot it
That is not a brick it is a landscape item. is is not make like a brick and is not fired. there fore the the material is not solid therefore it will split and break

agreed, i was more just demonstrating the gun operation, thanks for watching
We use yellow mostly on the job site I never even seen green
Green was for super thin metal block or concrete usually block yellow on concrete red on steel
I love how you kept pointing it at the camera operator.

That’s the best way, I actually rarely use this gun any more. I prefer to drill and use wedge anchors.

That’s old school! Nice
I just wanted to know what the tool done and you demonstrated it - thank you.

thank you! wish I had some concrete to demo this on when we were filming, would have been a bit better demonstration

@@truthmatters4654 that’s awesome, yeah if you have any questions I’m always trying to keep up with the comments. Cheers
Yea it's in there alright, and it cracked the sh*t out of it!
Cómo puedo comprar este producto
Si no las tienen en su ferretería (home depot, lowes..ect) puede ordenarla en línea. Es la Hilti DX2.
Is there an advantage if you get a fastening tool with a power dial like the dx 351?

What is this gun called....
It's 27 Cal Short. 6.8 x 11mm.
Is this gun silenced? On the video it was either really quiet or so loud that the audio cut out on the camera.
Our mic hates loud tools! It cuts out. So, sorry, no gun audio on this.
It sounds just as loud as a hand gun and even louder if you’re inside a building framing studs/ tracks, you’re required to say “ fire in the hole” every time you shoot it
Its loud, especially since its most likely fired in a confined space. First time i saw one fired i jumped a bit even with ear protection
U can weld a barrel on it and u have a live 22kal gun
"Today I'm going to be looking at a Hilti product. It is a Ramset..."
That's like saying: "Today I am going to be reviewing my Chevy .. it is a Ford.
4:40 can I say "fire in the hole!!!!!" ?
how mach this gun
depends on where you are buying from.
$200US more or less
Just bought one brand new from home depot $280
Add a rifled barrel and bypass the safety.
😯
7:19 Its violent? Its just a tool.
It’s just a saying
@@hammerandhome No it isn't. I've never heard anyone in all of history refer to a framing tool as violent. Dangerous with improper use, sure.
...nail throwing mayhem, mei...
Hilti is not Ramset. Hilti is Hilti Ramset is Ramset.
yes. It sure looks identical to the PT-27 from Simpson.

Bisa pesan piston.saya orang indinesia
it's violent. phfff.
Hilti break down & repair
These things suck in old concrete. Really only good for new construction.
They seem to nail wood to concrete pretty well, at least for old vacant housing
How old is old and how new is new?
That is not a brick it is a landscape item. is is not make like a brick and is not fired. there fore the the material is not solid therefore it will split and break
yeah its all I had for the demo.
Actually the more solid the concrete the more likely it is to shatter
NOT Semi Automatic
Bx 3 is much better , but coast as car 🙃
