Ramset 101 16-Jun-2009 At 4:58:29 PM jgoding

Keables in (Melbourne) town sell the Ramset product, but close early (like about 4pm). Ads - you could swing by before work perhaps? They open at stupid o'clock I think - about 7am or just after. Up near the Queen Vic Market somewhere, just off Queen Street.

My vote is for the HILTI HIT HY150 Glue, I've used both it and the Ramset 101 and much prefer the HILTI product due to it's lack of smell and the mixed consistency of the glue (more solid than the Ramset 101 - hence it tends to get spread around on my gear a lot less than when using the Ramset stuff, and if I do happen to spill a bit it is not nearly as bad!). The quality of the HILTI injector is also better than the Ramet in my opinion, but yep definitely more expensive.

I've also used the spin capsules from both HILTI and Ramset but have had a few dramas with the HILTI ones jamming up the bolts I was spinning into them (using a socket on the drill).
