WALL PLATE TO CONCRETE THE START TO BUILDING BASEMENT WALLS

The biggest problem with these pins is going to be any vertical movement.. If there was an earthquake your bottom framing plate will move right through the pin. It might be better to use a framing anchor. Personal Preference I guess...

One word: "TAPCON" and there isn't a need to predrill the hole, that SDS hammer drill with a 3/16 bit (depending on the size of your tapcon screws) will go through the 2x4 with ease.

I like how he tells us to wear ear protection while doing this then blows my friggin ears out in the video..

@HomeRemodelWorkshop holy crap thats ridiculous. ive shot thousands of plates down and even thin inch wall strapping doesnt split with the ramset or hilti. this system is sooooooooooo slow.

@HomeRemodelWorkshop What about Ramsets? Aren't they even faster to use?

@mikecoscia Sometimes its difficult to figure the correct load size to use and ,depending on concrete make-up,have a tendacy to split plates and blow-out concrete. I have had more consistent results with the split drives +++Bob
