22 caliber blanks? I know they are old & very clean.
I think they were made for industrial use / construction?
I'm trying to figure out what to do with them. I have 1,500.
The question is, what can they be used for and what are they worth?

They're used in a ramset nailer.

Looks like what you'd use in a nail gun? don't know value.

They’re not technically blanks, they’re power charges for a nailer as stated above. New ones go for $10-15 a box of 100. As they’re meant to supply power for a construction nailing tool I would seriously reconsider using them in anything but their intended device.

So, there is a cool use for them- trip wire warnings.

You can get a 22 conversion so those can be used instead of a 12 gauge primer. Much louder and more likely to have a successful ignition.Government's view of the economy could be summed up in a few short phrases: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it.

There were 9-10 boxes of the 22 nail-set charges at the Habitat Re-store in Brighton the other day.
