Thanks for the demonstration. I only have the yellow loads. Looks like I need to get some green loads for my block wall. Thanks again. Well done video.
I'm pretty sure they had them when this video was made but they make a ram set with a trigger so you don't have to use a hammer. Also, it's probably cheaper to use a roofing coil nailer with hardened nails and much faster. Thanks for sharing your thoughts though.
I'm not finished yet but I have a question. Is the finger jesters around the 2:46 mark the universal sign for laboratory? Lmao Edit: now I've watched the whole thing I want to add more. You saved me trying this very same experiment and it was informative. Thanks for putting this out there.
Good demostration. My experience with cinder blocks has been hit or miss- sometimes it works, many times it doesn't. Fastening into the mortar joints is the preferred method.
For the video, just a scrap of plain (untreated) 2x4. Pressure treated should be used in many cases though (bottom plate of a wall on a concrete floor for example). It would depend on the details of what you're trying to do and your local building codes.

thanks for sharing your experiment and thoughts on the results. Super helpful and. exactly what i was looking for!
Thanks for the detail. It's really help for beginner like me. And I'm really tired for the cement drilling.
Informative. Thanks.

This was a great video thank you what length are the nails you used?
I use 3 inch for the hammerstike even though not recommended never fails especially on 2x4s.
What nail did you use? How much went into the block and what can it hold?
can I use it directly on concrete flooring to anchor a wire? or should I predrill and use redheads instead?
Great video!! Thanks!
16D double headed nail with forming wire over ramset or tapcon.
What about the unsightly orange thing sticking out from the nail head? Wouldn't want to see that on say a handrail on your porch.
Good Demo Thanks!
Correction: There are two colours above Purple (Black and then White)
Those are structural quality block, try that with a regular Homedepot or lowes blocks. They will break apart.
He mentions that, repeatedly.
What kind of wood did you use? Does it matter if its not pressure treated or not?

Did you just say get licensing to use a ramset???
Not where I live, but there are places in the world where one is needed.
fern strips are 1"X2"X8' you are using 2"X4" pieces you get different results with fern strips
No one needs an Assault Nail Gun. #BanAssaultNailGuns
License for a tool? 😂 no sir you don’t need a license for this you can buy it from homedepote
Laws vary in different jurisdictions.
Eclectronical yes but you could just order one online........

What this guy means is, it may be illegal if you live in Communist States like California.
Stole my comment 🤣

I bought one of these to attach 2x4 to my basement walls. Don't waste your money.
They really suck.
Looks like you and it have something in common then.
Why do they suck? They seem to work great? That’s what I want to use for. Attaching top plates in basement to concrete
I tried using one with 2 1/2” nails and it wouldn’t penetrate much. Maybe try the 3”?
No useful info, just playtime for bonzo.
