Use the green in the same area not on the the solid row in the center

You really nailed this one. Great shots as well. Completely concrete information here.

I still have the old craftsman one my dad used. He nailed 2x four to the garage floor so my mom wouldn't blast her towncar through the living room, again. It still comes in handy and I use it at least twice a year on jobsites.

I’d NEVER EVEN HEARD nor seen one until now. So I learned some today .

I would like to see how the 1st round looked if it wasn’t shot into the center rib of the block. There wasn’t any reinforcement behind the 2nd one, so of course it blew some concrete out of the back side. I have used many of those to hold different materials to block, sometimes even using a washer with the nail to prevent the items being nailed from pulling over the nail head.

I used that exact same tool to nail my brothers head to the coffee table. Worked great 👍

And that's what makes America great! Merica! 👍

I have one. I love it!! Used it to attach the frame to the floor for a bar build in the basement.

I've used them quite a bit including putting counter flashing on an old chimney. I did a job outside Sacramento (H.P. building) where they had a young kid that weighed in around a buck twenty using the gun with 44 blanks in it shooting red iron (with holes already punched in it) into 12" of concrete. It was fun to watch! That kid would fire it off and come a foot off the ground every time!

Great review Clint! We used the exact same Ramset when we Reno’d our basement.

I’ve even attached 2x10 to a metal I-beam to wrap it and finish it for a non load bearing wall for a room. Works really really fast for that top and bottom plate. Thx for vid Clint, & know you liked making this vid, I mean….who wouldn’t like shooting nails w/ a .22😉 Cheers✌🏻

The green cartridge shot the nail through "Solid Center Section" of the block and the yellow cartridge only shot through the side section which created the blowout hole.. look where he placed the nail for the green shot and the nail that he placed for the yellow shot you'll see what I'm saying..

Like button SMEESHED! "Measure once, cut twice." Words to live by. 🤣💯👍

Love the swagger man and the knowledge, mounting a wall punching 🥊 Bag.

I enjoyed your presentation! Awesome video!

Ramsets are awesome and time saving, I have used them many years. Sure beats the days when I was pounding masonry nails with a 20 oz. Framing hammer.

Have a Remington single shot with triggered handle. Have had it since the 90s. Got a lot of use out of it.

Ramsets are good for blowing the block apart. Get a good hammer drill, use a 5/16 concrete bit. after you drill through the 2x4 & concrete, take two pieces of bailing wire, place in the hole leaving an inch out, take a 16PD framing nail & drive it home. This will hold a lot better than a ram set.

Awesome video bro! Thank you for this gem

LOVE YOUR HUMOR BRO.

You are very entertaining! I love your humor

Dude I like all the sounds effect!

That looks like a lot of fun. I'm going to to home Depot right now to get my one of those tools.

Funny! And enjoyable! And educational.

thanks, trying to figure out how im gonna build and addition on a cottage that half made of blocks. this is the solution. now i just gotta figure out how to cut a door in the block safely

Very helpful video

Crushing Ramset fears around the world. Nicely done. For cinder block applications I’m usually gluing as well, which makes a Brad nail good enough. Turn the air up to about 130 and go machine gun on it.

When I was 14 I helped build bedrooms in our basement. We didn't have a ramset and Tapcons didn't exist. We used a broad head hammer with a long handle and a waffle profile on the head and straight smashed nails through the wall frames directly into the concrete foundation. I was a typical skinny 14yo boy and I didn't have an issue do it. This Ramset is cool and so are Tapcons but the brute force of a big hammer works too LOL

I saw a guy build a bridge using two I-beams with planks laying across them. He used a Ramset to attach the planks to the beams. It drove the nails through the planks and into the steel I-beams... real Nass Like! :-)

Wow, I didn't know this tool existed! Thanks! You're funny!! This might be the first video I've watched about a power tool that made me laugh so much! Good job

Love the Louisiana accent. And sound effects!!!

Dude’s funny 😂

Great demonstration rightch hera!!💪🏻Thanks.

I don't even know how I ended up on this video but I found you to be funny and I learned something. I've never heard of that tool but I might find some use for it.

Awsome vid! I want to partially put nail into a block so I can hang things on the nail. Is it possible to do the above with this tool?

I’m looking to attach treated 2x4 to the basement floor. Would Tapcons be better and what do you think of putting sill foam under the 2x4 in case of water?

This is my go to when framing basements, you're right though sometimes it doesn't work. You hit a soft spot it blows right through or a crumbly spot where it doesn't hold as well. Easy fix, move it 6" in either direction and repeat, it is why I prefer the .27 with the stripper clip. Important tip, along with eye also wear ear protection! In an enclosed basement these things are extremely loud.

Shot a few hilti rounds in my day. Very ok video.

I’ve been using a T nailer for a month now and it’s pretty nice compared to the time consumption of tapcons and the cost of a ram set. Tapcons get expensive in the thousands too lol

Hey, I was wondering if you had an inside scoop as to whether or not there will be an m18 snowblower in the works? I know they have the leaf blower but a snow blower would be nice.

Wonder if youd want to use the bigger more powerful one if you poured concrete in the centers, would it still compromise the structure or sink into the concrete behind the cinderblock?

My new got to have tool!

Thx ❤

Thanks!!

I agree. It is a fun and useful tool. It made my life easier when I was finishing my basement. Throw the tapcons away.

Hi Clint Hope you are well my mate…. Great content Brother I’ll have to get myself one of these bad boys. Real Nass Like 👍 👍

“Raighut hauree!” 😂

This is a great video right heyar!

Can you use this for the purpose of fastening a sill to the floor without building the wall to the ceiling?

Can you nail into the cinder block from any orientation?

Great Video, Just subbed!

So I’m putting in a new crawlspace door frame and am wondering if this will also work and the long end of the cinder block the same way?

I think you’re doing a really great job and you answered my question how do you hook a piece of wood to some cinderblocks. What about a 4 x 4 piece of wood? I guess you could get longer nails do you have to use a heavier Bullet for that thanks for your video

Ironically in Ireland where it’s very difficult to get a gun licence you can buy the gun version of that unit with auto loading cartridges. I only use it once in a blue moon but it’d nearly take down a wall!

You’re hilarious! Cool vid bro. I just bought the same tool last week to attach walls to concrete in a barndomineum build. Didn’t even realize it could be used for cinder blocks. Thanks got the tip. Keep up the good work man!

Could this be used for 4x4 gate post onto cinderblock ?

PermaNails are where it’s at!!!

Cinder blocks are light-weight low-density building blocks made of cement and coal ash. Real Cinder Block is not often seen. My neighbor built his smokehouse out of cinder block, and that's the only instance of Cinder block I recall.

Love those!! 🎊 Used to have to smack it with a hammer. 😳

Cool😊

New homes in Florida have poured (filled) cement blocks . Which one would you use ?

In all fairness you shot the first one into the webbing of the block. Makes a huge difference

Can you use this to attach 2x4 on an upright cement block

MERICA Baby!!!

The sound effects are important when working

This is great!!! Thanks so much. Love your personality. Stay blessed.

Can you do a review of the new 56 volt Echo mower and ope tools ?

$1,500.99 cents to be exact. Wood is way out of control. 👍🇺🇸💯 keep up the great videos brother

Sorry for the amateur question but does this work with attaching wooden slats to outdoor concrete walls for landscaping?

Is there an easy and fast way to attach the 2 X 4 lengthwise? Meaning, the "2" side to the block?

Smeeeeshed! Thanks for a great video! Is the model you're using the same as the $99 one -- is the handle the only difference?

Well, the green one you put in the center, where there is a full section of cinder block, then shot the yellow throught the side of the cinder block where it can create a blow shot. Don't understand why this is a thing. Either one would work perfectly in the center of the block... Anyway, thanks for the demonstration.

I live in florida. I want to add shelfing outside in my patio . Where the screener fance is at, i dont know whats behind the wall or how the cinder block is placed. If that makes sense. Great..

I'm very surprised here in CA these are still legal to own.

Your first shot looks like the rubber tip is showing above the board. Does this mean the nail didn’t go in completely flush?

The triggered ones are awesome. The one ive used the most you have to hit the top with a hammer. Trigger makes it much better

Hey Clint, I I've been using my Ryobi-ia 15# nail gun for cinder block furring strip installation s lately... Works real nice like, I still use my Hilti Ramset for 2x4 on concrete floors though.

Ol’ Baby Billy? That you?

Hi! The first shot was in the rib of the block. The second one was in the cell. I was wondering if the first one would have had some blow out if it was in the cell too? Thanks 🙏

Right cheaaa!

When shooting into a concrete wall and it breaks the concrete does that mean I'm using too strong or not strong enough load. And depending on the age of the concrete how can you judge what to use. Thanks.

Hi, enjoyed your vid. I'm a girly girl and am trying to put a padlock on my crawlspace door and wanted to know if I could use this tool to attach lumber to brick? Thanks for any help you can give, I'm in the middle Tennessee area.

How do you remove the nail? Because some cement projects require removing the wood.

Interesting. Thanks. And I'm view number 7 - woohoo - top ten

Cool Clint

So this would work on a piece of plywood?

Could you turn the cinderblock on its side and still do this?

Is this Ramset system good for setting a wood door frame to cinder block or is tapcon screws a better option? Cinder block are from the 60s.

Good stuff as usual. Funny thing, my name is Clint also and I too am from Ohio

HELLO,, thanks for teaching me crucial information. I am about to put together several 2x4 to create my door front. The 2x4 height is eight feet high. No room for square frame. I may create two unequal doors in my attempt to balance the weight against one side because the frame will stand alone without top horizontal support. Two things. Hurricane strong winds. And stand alone frame. I am hoping your technique of attaching two by four to cinder block will work. I am doing some research to make sure that the side wood (stand alone - frame for the door: row of 2 x 4) attached to cinder block would be strong enough to withstand hurricane winds. Suggestions welcomed. I am woman. 😢

.....and blast out your block, Have fun with that!!

A little too much coffee for this guy~!!

How do you attach a 2x4 to a cinder block but when the 2x4 is actually on edge? Like not laying flat like in your video but standing upright?

I like to use my Kimber 45 hollow point. The wood sticks to everything. Lol. 👍🍻

I prefer the one with the pistol grip shoots alot better in my opinion plus its quieter

What a cool tool! Would be fun to have even if you don't have a real job for it. Like having a zero turn mower for a tiny back yard. Reminds me of my favorite scene in the Lethal Weapon series where Danny Glover offed that guy with a nail gun to the forehead. Real nas like!!! Thanks Clint!!!

No spiders were harmed in the making of this video.

He shot the first one in the middle of the block, that’s where it has a support, the second shot was at the bridge no support below.

''I cut it 3 x and its still to short??? !!!! Hey for real, good job conforming to the almighty KZfaq Guidelines when explaining the function of that device !!👍👍👍👍
