How to attach wood to a concrete floor IN SECONDS! How to attach 2x4 wood to concrete floor fast!

Love how (not that I've seen) no one has mentioned that when attaching wood to concrete either make sure its treated or put a barrier between the wood and concrete. Concrete will hold moisture causing wood in contact to mold attracting termites or rot all together.

I've been using 0.22 caliber powder actuated tools for over 40 years. There's something to be said for simple and powerful. They work great.

Back in the 80's while building my first house I used a friend's borrowed Hilti gun (same idea) to fasten 2X4 plates to steel I-beams that had a 3/8" steel top flange. I could not believe that a 22 cal. cartridge could drive a nail through a 2X4 and 3/8" steel with such ease.

Perfect timing. Building a shed in a concrete pad and this is perfect. Thanks.

Brother, you just saved me a world of headache. I have projects ahead, and was not looking forward to drilling into concrete (been there, done that, and hate it). Now I'm looking forward to tackling the projects again. Thank you!

Thanks you saved me a lot of time and money framing my basement bathroom walls, 5 stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

As a woman in the trades, I was an early adopter. Love it! Pro-tip: Match the load to the job. Mucho-macho it with a purple load into a thin slab and you'll learn right fast.....

Great vid, thanks. It's been said before and worth saying 100 times more, "Safety always". I worked with a bunch a guys, pro workers, who turned into 11 yr olds when we got one of these for a job. All tools should be respected but this one has the power to turn a sunny day into a bear. Thanks again.

I have owned three of them and just used one a couple weeks ago. My first one was similar to what you have but it had a metal head instead of the palm pad. You loaded it the same, pushed it down hard against the surface, and then had to hit the metal with a good hammer blow. This made it even louder, and yes I recommend ear protection especially if you are indoors, and or have multiple shots, especially with the larger loads. My second one was really nice because it had the pistol grip handle, and a trigger. It also used a belt of shot rather than a single feed so you only had to add a nail until your strip ran out of cartridges, and you put in another one. The other great thing was that it had an extension pole that allowed you to use it in high places without ladders. I have even used them on a remodel to attach 2×4s to steel I beams. That's a real time saver. My current one is just a single shot with pistol grip and a trigger. No more hammering the handle.

Being able to back out a screw makes a ton of difference.

I didn't know what the ramset was, but recently saw it in action this past summer, expanded my knowledge! I swear tools are everything to get the job done.

I used the Ramset to do my whole basement,a life saver.

Used these to fix 2x4 onto poured concrete well pit. Fantastic!

Life saver thanks, getting ready to cover concrete patio with wood decking and was dreading putting base down with Tapcons.

It's really great for someone like me to see in the comments how the professionals do this sort of work. I really learn a lot from it so am extremely grateful to be able to read them. If it had been me, I'd have vacuumed the floor to get rid of all the dust and just used a tube of Gripfill.☺️

Yeah I work at a construction company and they use these and they work well. Thank you very much.

Used to own one of these and used it quite a bit in the 70's and 80's when I built my house and finished my basement and used it for building an outside shed. I also used it helping our local fire company build a new building. Sat in my shed for the next 30 years and I sold it at a garage sale when I moved to NC. Great tool. LOUD. I thought you needed to be licensed to use one of these but back in the day, who really gave a shit.

Thanks for sharing this brief video with us, i learned how to use the Ramset

Out of the 800+ comments previously made, I am sure someone has already mentioned this but, I must say, this is a device I would definitely keep locked up and the Ramset loads locked up in a separate location. We often want to get our children involved in building projects but this is a tool I would exercise extreme caution with and not let it out of my reach or site when kids are around. Safety is the highest of protocols and I can see a preteen or teenager showing off tools to their buds and next thing you know, a catastrophic event occurs. BTW, your videos are great. Easy to follow and not too technical.

This is the most American tool ever! It’s just a gun! I love it haha
