Thank you for this video. Quick story about the Ramset I bought.... I was doing a small job in my basement and I needed to tie a wall into the concrete floor. I needed a Ramset but couldn't really afford it. My sister and her husband were at the house and she said she'd get it and I could pay her back. So I went down to the shop and bought one. I went down stairs and drove a nail in and then she came down to see what the noise was. I asked her if she wanted to try it and she did. After she drove that first nail, she looked up at me and said, "If you let me do the rest, you don't have to pay me back."

You are welcome Richard. That is a really cool story. It is amazing how useful that tool is. Take care!
Just as a gun enthusiast I’d say load the mail before the .22 blank just to ensure all safety esp with trigger operated
Thank you for uploading a no nonsense video.
Great video. I appreciate the info and I also appreciate your straight to approach rather then turn a simple lesson into a thirty minute video. U get 10 likes bro.
Thank you for this video. I have to drive nails into the concrete in my little workshop and I have to do it myself as all the contractors, including the ones who built my shop for me are gone for the winter. I was intimidated by this tool, but this video helped me get a little more confidence using it myself.
Thank You for the video. I was a bit intimidated by the ramset and your instruction helped greatly✨
Great overview, because I hadn't used one of these tools in about 10 years. Exactly what I needed to see to remind me the press hard on the loaded ramset to get it to fire. Thanks!
Thank you for this video. I JUST purchased on at home depot. I need it for my cement basement wall!
That was so cool! Thanks for sharing your “know how”
Great video, tremendous help! T/Y!!

Can you explain why you use the washer? I thought you said it is to NOT countersink, but then you hammer it down after the shot anyway? Why not get a higher load to sink the washer or skip the washer altogether with a lower load?
Neat tool

If it doesn’t sink you got to finish driving it “misses 6 times” nice and sunk in smooth rub
Hey can you use this tool to put wood over concrete porch?
I do have to wonder how the nail goes into the concrete without shattering it. When you put a nail in wood, the nail essentially displaces the wood fibers, and the friction holds it in place. But concrete has a much different structure.
Bro u jus closed it with your hand in front of the barrel. Risky af
I preffer the hammershot- less mechanical things to jamb or go wrong. Kind of like the new cordless nail guns that are great and I use - until they malfunction. Pneumatic nailers are more dependable.

That’s how I feel about it too. I don’t use one all the time. Maybe once a year. So the extra money and the risk of the tool malfunctioning is not worth it to me. Thanks for the comment!
The course you do online needed to buy/operate this tool stated that we have to insert the nail first them the powder load...

I'd like to know just which length nail one needs for the job. Like what if I didn't want to do the extra hammering? Or if I just wanted to attach an electrical box to a basement wall? Is that going to be 3/4" nail? If I use 1/5" nail will I have to be trying to hammer inside the box? I guess it's trial and error.

I got a different kind of unit...but it lists on barrel of the gun; Fastener length gauge 3" 76mm 2.5" 63mm 2" 51mm 1.5" 38mm 11/4" 32mm 1" 25mm 3/4" 19mm

For concrete you want the nail to bury 1"..so material thickness plus 1"
Load the nail before the .22
You never talked about the different loads, yellow, green, red, and purple.
I’m not getting the nail all the way through leave about an inch out, what am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance

Thx for trying to teach us DIYers, but recommend pulling this video down until you can get one up showing proper technique. Loading the charge before the nail and setting this piston with your hand over the barrel can lead to serious harm if the tool were to discharge then. Cheers.
my hammershot doesn't work at all, so sad because I bought it a few months ago saving it for a project and now I dont know if I can return it, Sooooooo mad because its a budget build

no ear protection???!?!
you're supposed to put the nail in first, then the cartridge. Not good to ever stick anything down the barrel of something loaded.
My son and I are having the worst time with this tool. Ours must be defective because it is just not firing at all.
Costs $36 in 2023.

damn so i can't use it as a gun?
Big fan of channel but not of this vid. Load the nail first. Then the powder load. Imagine installing the powder first, and while you are loading the nail (somehow) the tool goes off. Nail goes flying. Now imagine loading the nail first. Then you install the charge. While doing that the tool goes off- no issue cause you have it safely pointed away from anything dangerous.
Ok... so.. many safety issues here, ONE you put your hand on the end of the barrel while closing the breach, TWO you put the cartridge in BEFORE the nail...
