Remington powder driver
I have a 30 year [plus] old Rem. powder driver. I went to use it and
the charges seem to have lost their strength. Is this normal? If so how does one dispose of the cartridges? Thanks, CP |

With the power cartridges, it's just crimped or capped with a piece of cardboard/heavy paper to keep the powder from spilling out. No worries unless your eye is 6" from the cartridge as it burns. |

These are "blanks" but they might take them anyway. Also note that those cartridges come in different strengths; you might just need to try a stronger one. |

Thanks, CP What strength are the cartridges? (Ramset does it by color). Are you using the correct load for the fastener length and the surface being attached to? You need something stronger for concrete than for mortar or cinder block (CMU in current parlance). --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus |
