Concrete Fasteners- Install and tools required

[@deltaray3]

Your advice on what type to use, tools, etc. was so valuable. You should make more videos.

[@jimbelcher6877]

Would help to know how to choose drill size when drilling for plastic anchors.

[@DeWoodyard]

Insist on a properly marked container, bearing that information.

[@One_equals_two]

Awesome video. Concise and to the point. Thank you good sir!!

[@folajifadeyibi9965]

Thanks man. Great tutorial video. Appreciate it 👍🏾

[@KozmoRadio]

Appreciate your hard work Brother.

[@liviofazi4017]

Good video - are tapcons rated to be impact driven ? I've noticed bits have impact ratings. FWIW , there are specific anchors for blocks. They even have their own setting tool....getting to complicated..lol...I've seen concrete nails hold stuffs up for decades.....

Great video and great information

[@Pkerr1000]

I want to attach a sheet of plywood to my concrete basement wall. What's the best / easiest way to do this. I've got a drill and drive. (not an impact driver) Thanks!

[@mark.r8900]

Hi, i was trying to mount brackets for Ac condenser using 1/2" wedge anchor. I drilled holes using 1/2"drill bit. But the bolt and the threaded shaft kept on turning as i was trying to tighten. So loose i can pull the and out with plier. What did i do wrong? Thanks

[@jigsolve]

Gotta drill the hole one size smaller, like for a 1/ 4 ttapcon use a 3/16 bit

[@leeb.7188]

I’ve seen those plastic anchor sleeves in different colors, but how do you know which size screw fits with which color sleeve? Thank you.

[@JohnHenrySheridan]

Awesome thanks!

[@IsaacErwin-y3w]

Can you please add a link where you bought the plastic anchor and bolt that you used in the video please.

[@fotiskarelas3321]

Which anchor to choose for heavy duty hanging rail for clothes on brick wall?

[@adamrandall2996]

I'd take "cobra" concrete anchor (not shown in the video).

[@Samson-EC]

What type of anchor should I use in a concrete 2" cap that covers a cinder block and may not have the cinder block holes filled with concrete? In other words there is space uner the cap..thks..hc

[@ccc822007]

How do you remove a broken fastener? like from rock or floor concrete?

[@user77654]

For tapcons, I bet if you clean up the hold off debris and dust, the screw will go in a lot smoother and less risk of snapping the head off...

[@reginamonica]

Very very helpful, thanks brother

[@dantecson3677]

How do you figure out where the solid parts and hollow parts are when there’s drywall over it??

[@MCConstructionTeacher]

I would use a toggle bolt in that situation. Look up a google bolt and you will find they are fairly simple to use.

[@Throbbinwilliamz]

Thanks man really appreciate the info

[@BlueOvalHero]

My contractor put my j bolts in very crooked. Is this a common thing to end up with crooked anchors?

[@kylevalenzuela2059]

Great info dude. Thank you

[@AlphatecEngineering]

Great video and explanation, love it 💚💯🔥

[@lv7603]

Best video around, thanks.

[@MCConstructionTeacher]

Thanks!

I don't have an impact driver, only an impact drill with the hammer/drill function. What can I do to drive a hex head tapcon into concrete?

[@tony_the_tinker]

The hammer drill will do just fine. In fact, Tapcon recommends using the hammer drill on their packaging and website. Some installers have reported problems with damaging the hole they are drilling into when using impact drivers.

[@garrison8215]

Awesome video.

[@anilg28]

6" thick cement deck, to anchor 10x12 feet storage shed what anchors i am using? Please respond. Thanks for a wonderful instructive video.

[@kimchee94112]

I use Tapcon if not going deep like 2x4. On 4x4 and even railroad ties I use rebars and sledgehammer, rebars will bend over on top and lock it in.

[@anilg28]

@@kimchee94112 😊 ty 😊

[@colinh.3252]

Helpful video. Thanks.

[@shanematene4116]

How deep is each hole or does it not matter

[@ApriliaRacer14]

Each a bit longer than the anchor 1/4”deeper.

[@tony_the_tinker]

Good basic info video. 👌

[@lauracowart3644]

Thank you

[@johndude4483]

Your conduit is running uphill :-) ...oh and don’t forget about the dreaded drive pin anchors

[@MCConstructionTeacher]

Haha you you always had that critical eagle eye just like my wife! That’s what happens when you are out of 1/2” straps improvising with 3/4” straps and running pipe on a pallet wall that is all different thickness. Those drive pins almost got an honorable mention but they just didn’t make the cut

[@johndude4483]

@@MCConstructionTeacher lol We KZbinRS don’t want to hear your excuses

[@MCConstructionTeacher]

That’s right! NO EXCUSES just results

[@clarencefoster7689]

Bought a cheap sds rotary hammer less than $100.00 will drill or chisel

[@ff-mu6cc]

[@sunnindawg]

Excellent

[@lantose]

Please don’t tell people you have to have a hammer drill for concrete bits! I have drilled many holes in concrete with a normal drill!

[@MCConstructionTeacher]

You can drill a hole in brick and block with a regular drill and masonry bit but it “walers” the hole out and fastener don’t tighten down correctly. Also, try drilling in high strength concrete, like in a parking garage, and tell me how that works out for you.

[@reginamonica]

First person to really helped,

[@ghostt703]

You definitely do have to have a hammer drill wear and tear on a normal drill gonna have to buy another drill vs one time buy of a hammer drill to last for years and make work easy but good luck lol

[@peteryeung111]

You can also hammer a nail with a plier….does it work? Sure.

[@McNateDoggYT]

@@MCConstructionTeacherI think oh dude is speaking more so for diyers but generally yes use a hammer drill that what’s it’s designed for
