Speed Fastener Stud Driver (post #206170)

I have had this tool for a long time.

It's a Speed Fastener, Model 825, 22 cal., powder actuated driver.

It's a high velocity  gun with a thru barrel. Not the more modern style with a piston.

My question is where do I stand with this gun?

Can I use it with low power loads? Can i use it at all?

I've heard that you can't even sell them.

I'm just looking for some knowlegable answers since I'm not finding much in my internet searches.

 

Thanks,

Chris

Not osha approved any longer.  Not sure about charges, but don't think the newer shots would work even in the higher load ranges.

I used old HV Ramsets for years. When they  became illegal on jobsites, I got rid of mine by taking it apart and diposing of the parts  seperately. So nothing could be retrieved and the thing ever rebuilt. I had tons of experience with them and still had a few close calls. I wouldn't want anyone not very familar whit one to ever get hurt because of their inexperience with that type tool.
