How to nail in concrete?

[Frank]

I've never done it and don't have a gun. I need to complete the carpet-to-vinyl transitions and trying to figure out how to fasten the metal trim piece to the concrete. How small a nails can still be used in concrete? Should be pretty small right?

ram set is probably overkill. If its just a couple...use a masonry bit and drill a hole for a small plastic anchor. Home depot should have plenty of different concrete anchors.

Not sure what brand they are, but the blue concrete screws at home depot work really good. You drill the hole and they screw right in.

This. In my two years of installing floors I never saw anything different.
