workin on a project where we need to secure fasteners into concrete fast. Like touch and go speed.
Ramset apears to be the best option. But i want to know if there is anything else out there. total weight attached to fasteners will be either 5kg or 15kg. Probaby dose not need to last forever. max an hour or two.

Second this, DeWalt also has a battery powered concrete pin nailer. I used to run my commercial drywall crews with the Hilti guns. They work phenomenally for metal stud and track framing, fastening hanger clips etc. I switched them over to the DeWalt battery guns after some gay salesman from grainger came out to a job with a DeWalt rep and did a demonstration and offered me 6 guns with 50,000 pins free for below MSRP. Was an easy switch at the time since everything else we had in the tool lock up other than the Hilti guns were DeWalt. Only real benefit I'll give the DeWalt guns is they're significantly quieter which was helpful on a build-out at a hospital where they b***hed about the noise from the floor above and below.

Why would you bother with the ramset? Just tie that shit up with some rope lol. Are you trying to have a nice day op?
>an hour or two
I bet it's a sex thing

3 minutes, tops
hammer some concrete nails into the joints
what's the trick to doing this? whenever i try to hammer in concrete nails the nails just bend
i usually just use my hammer drill to make a smaller hole then hammer the concrete nail in there, it's slightly faster than using concrete screws like this
but a lot cheaper
Is it fresh concrete? Old concrete (talking 10+ years) is a lot harder to nail, even with a Ramset.
not the guy that asked but that explains a lot och trubble in my basement. built 1949
One trick I use is double sided tape. Cut to size and then attach whatever fastener to wall. Thin titanium drill bit hole. Then install a thin & short exterior screw.
Tape keeps it from moving, thin screw keeps it so there is no pressure from gravity over time putting pressure on the tape adhesive.

If you can have two guys on the job, one manning a Kango and the other on the impact gun with tapcon screwsnwill be almost as fast as a ramset. To save on cost, you could go with alibaba "tapcon". If they have good ratings, it means they wont snap while driving them, and you don't care about durability because it's temporary.
GET THE KANGO!
Also to note, a Ramset requires serious eye pro and ear muffs for the operator and everyone in the room, while as for tapcon I would recommend the usual PPE, but dollar store earplugs and a pair of safety squints would protect you from everything but the freakiest of accidents.
