Nail gun into concrete block.

I have used a regular air powered framing gun and shot nails into cinder block. Professional carpenters often use a powder actuated nailer for this a tool that fires special nails through the wood and into the concrete using 22 caliber gun powder cartridges. Figured out every 10 shots let the compressor build back up. Its not recommended to use this tool in engineered concrete or strengthened concrete.

Actual gunpowder from a modified 22 caliber shell propels specially designed nails through the wood and into the masonry. Use it only to fasten to poured concrete never to concrete block brick or any other surface. For safety a firing lock button beside the trigger prevents the accidental firing of nails when not in operation. I would consider using a screw into concrete.

It would work on full pressure when the compressor dropped to 70 psi it would bend the nails. A concrete nail gun is a dead simple tool consisting of a hollow metal barrel and a firing pin. Ideal for shooting nails into skirting boards which are fixed onto concrete block. Excess holes will also allow water to seep through the cinder block walls.

Be aware that like a nail gun a powder actuated fastener is a potentially dangerous tool. This rugged air powered nail gun is compatible with 14 gauge concrete t nails from 5 8 in. Installing furring strips on a masonry wall reduces the number of holes punctured into the cinder block which weakens the block. The bostitch concrete nail gun includes dial a depth so you can control the countersinking of the nail.

Drill hole in bucket then use a ratchet to screw a hex head type 3 16 concrete screw 1 1 2long through bucket into the hole. That makes it a bit different. The bostitch concrete block nailer fires harden steel nails 20mm 50mm. To 2 1 2 in and is set up for single sequential mode nail driving.

Furring strips are long thin pieces of wood nailed to cinder blocks in order to support a finished wall. Thats a cinder block wall not concrete. Fast and free delivery. Shop nail gun depot for your next concrete nail gun.
