Using a ramset fastener will work but I have noticed you get blowouts where the nail does not seed into concrete.Consistent results sometimes better than speed.When putting in small plates a ramset can sometimes split the plate while nailing.===Bob. I did not say this was the only way to do it but I believe it to be the best,most consistent way of doing it.

my dad has a gun he shoots it down whats the differnt?

The other method that works is just to hammerdrill the plate and feed some wire down the hole, once the wire hits the bottom, pull the wire back up about a half inch (same wire for tying rebar by the way) and get some duplex nails and hammer them down, cut excess wire away with wire cutters if nessicary.

Great video! I subscribed a while back and I'm glad I did because I have a project where I need to do just what this video describes and this will be very helpful. Thanks!

Great video Bob! I have been in the home building business for a long time and truly feel that your options are the first class way of doing things. Ramsets are easier IF using heavy duty construction adhesives, but you have the best way of doing things. Keep up the great work; your videos are top notch for the do-it-yourselfer. Those that watch his videos, please pay attention, he shows you how to do it right, not cheap and easy. Easy will get you into trouble in the long run. Great videos!

i've always used a, well, i call it a rammer. a power actuated nailer. for me it's much easier than your method. i find it has similar strength to your nails and much faster. no drilling, no muss, no fuss.
