  • $25 Amazon HammerShot: amzn.to/2xk6vEt
    One with a silencer and trigger: amzn.to/2Oq1m52
    I cover a lot more than just how to use it. Go to 6:25 to skip to the demo.
    There are many options and brands but I don't use it that often so the $25 is just fine for me. If you live in Australia, you need to have this tool registered and a license plus training to use it. I'm curious what other countries regulations are.
    22 cal loads: amzn.to/2MzwjSJ
    Coated Pins: amzn.to/2xgpZus
    This tool is used most often to attach wood to concrete or wood to steel but it can be used with other materials. There are many fasteners of various sizes and shapes. Check out the store display to see more. By the way, if you are curious as to the holding strength, good luck getting these nails out of concrete, it's possible but man it's not easy! These are permanent fasteners. Easier to grind it off than pull it out.

      I am not scolding you for doing this put please do not use wd40 as a lubricant spray..it is alcohol based spray and will dry up and cause your tool to seize over time. It is meant to loosen seized tools/bolts and then apply a lubricant with a silicone base

      Phrosty Twitch nope bump stocks don’t make semi automatic weapons automatic bc you still have to press the trigger every time you want to shoot it it basically just makes you shot very fast. If you only had to press the trigger once to shoot multiple then yes it would be automatic.

    Thanks Adam. Just a word about lubricating the gun afterwards; WD-40 is not a lubricant (well, initially it is, but not really) but a solvent. When you spray it on anything it actually dissolves any lubricant that was there. Better to use Tri-Flow for lubrication.

    I don't recall anymore what caused my father to buy a model similar to this one in the mid-80's. Still works though it's been deep in a box for some decades and needs a good tear down. Even so, I used it earlier today! Maybe after I show it some love it will fully drive with the yellow loads. No matter what, this is so much cheaper and faster than using a hammer drill and tapcons. I really hate them.

    Used one of these and after a couple of shots I had police officers swarming my property. That Ramset was loud af. I forgot to call the local police to alert them that I was going to be using a Ramset. My neighbor had identified a suspect she saw shooting a gun. She got egg on her face when it was just me using the Ramset. I apologized to her as I didn’t inform her that I would be using a Ramset. I didn’t use it further, I just used a masonary drill and made holes for concrete anchors which worked out well.
    PS: Cops just laughed about it and left.

    @Treblaine 5 лет назад +2

    Okay, I know in theory it should never go off unless you hit the hammer... but sh*t happens.
    Weird stuff like an unusually sensitive primer, a bit of sand or gravel in the chamber, the chamber being hot from a previous round. So generally never have the nail pointed towards you when loading it. Also, if it goes off when still in the chamber, the "base" of the cartridge will shoot off very much like a bullet, it's going to have way more mass and velocity than any other fragment from power-tools, it may shoot directly through your safety glasses.
    This is why it's so important for the cartridge to not be fully inserted into the chamber before the action is closed and pointing in a safe direction. If the cartridge somehow ignites while outside the chamber, the pressure cannot rise and it'll just pop off and it won't "explode", smokeless powder burns faster at higher pressures, if smokeless powder cannot be contained it will just fizzle and burn slowly. With the round in the chamber then the powder is contained enough to burn rapidly (almost explosively) this will push the case out the back of the chamber at a very high speed, the case is about as heavy as a bullet it'll go right through your safety glasses.

    Always put the nail in before you insert the .22 charge.

      Don't forget to look in the barrel to see if the nail is aligned.

    Great video. What about if you may need to remove wood from concrete later? I experimenting with various projects that may need to have the wood changed if it doesn't work for me.Will the gun allow for that? I know at least I could always unscrew the Tapcons, but was just curious.
