DESA Specialty Products 78708 Powder Actuated 1/2" - 2-1/2" Remington 476 Power Hammer

Worked as discribed

I attempted to drive compatable nails into my basement floor and they would not penetrate more than 1/2". In some cases they just shattered the concrete with the nail not embedding in the concrete at all. I started with the green loads, then yellow and finally the most powerful (red) and had no luck. Thinking that there was something strange about my basement floor, I test-fired into the footings for my deck and had similar results. I also tried a much more expensive tool like this with different loads and it did not work either. I ended up drilling into the concrete (with a hammer drill) and using another type of anchor and had no trouble. Perhaps it works better on fresh concrete that is not fully cured.

This is a great inexpensive way to fill a short term need. Dont need to invest a ton of money for a tool I will probably only use for this one project. Easy to use

Price was very good...Used it to attach pressure treated boards to the floor in my basement to build interior walls...worked very nicely!!!

Item did not work. Unfortunately too much time has passed since I originally purchased this so I cannot return it.

Came with no instructions or paperwork of any kind..could not get it to work!!

Hard to fire pins with hammer.

Great buy
