Would you recommend using those in the mortar/cement between bricks/concrete blocks? Thnks

[@PinoyTechTutorials]

you deserve it sir!

[@pureretro5979]

I used one of these on a garden gate where the screw kept getting pulled out of the sandy cement wall. It was totally overkill for the job but it worked a treat and the gate bracket is still 100% solid 7 years later.

Been Looking for this for over a year! Now, how do we deal with a cinder block exterior wall with a plaster board lining it’s interior? It covers 2 walls of our smaller size bedroom and my son’s small bedroom. Need to hang heavy duty floating shelves for books and also, heavy paint cans! lol (I don’t like them outside because the constant cold temps and then super high summer temps tends to ruin them! 😂

[@Luka1180]

Hope you eventually found your answer

[@AtticEntrepreneur]

Great tip about installing the bolts in the anchors onto the thing to be mounted and then inserting them into the drilled holes! I tried it by installing the anchors in the wall and then screwing the bolts in, but one of the bolts wouldn't grip and then it was a nightmare trying to get the anchor out of the wall again. All done thanks to this great video, thanks!

[@ipod1978]

Good video pal. For anyone looking to use these with only a standard masonry bit/hammer drill you can get away with using a bicycle pump and a needle tip (like you would use to pump up a football) to blow out the excess debris and dust. Messy but it certainly clears the cavity enough to allow a solid install.

[@michaelnobibux2886]

Junior J I sometimes use a can of compressed air (the kind used to blow dust off electronic circuit boards).Works great!!!

[@marcoliver7914]

Thanks so much for that recommendation. I'll defo give it a go.

[@ianjohannes7524]

Just wanted to thank you for your video. This was what pointed me in the right direction. Where I live, most of my walls are ultra dense, reinforced concrete - kinda stuff used in UK high rises in the 60's. Anyways, I weight 130kgs and so bought a hefty pull up bar which is wall mounted with four M10 rawlbolts now. Never felt anything so solid. I then decided to get gymnastic rings and so SDS drilled into the ceiling, which is also this god-like super concrete (took ages) - installed M10 eyehook bolts and hung 200kg load carabiners and gym rings (straps and gym rings can hold 450kg each). I still was a bit concerned. Until I set one gym ring about 5 inches off the ground and put all my weight on it....for for 10 seconds I swung gently back and forth...all 130kgs of me. On ONE BOLT! Called RawlPlug UK to see if this was OK and Adrian laughed and said I could have 3 of me on one, and the carabiner and gym rings would give out before this single rawlbolt. If it wasn't for your video I would have never been able to get myself the gear I need to get in shape at home. So a huge thank you. I have subbed. :)

[@osh2023]

Thank you for the notes on how to pull these out. I have a few installed and I was worried on what to do in case I wish to take them out in the future.

[@blackbird8632]

I use these for hanging the swing for our kid. It even supports my full grown weight. Awesome fixings.

[@tambade1]

You're the best, these came with a wall mounted punching bag that I got, wasn't sure how they worked and how to install them. Thank you for this video

[@TheGunzSkido]

Can you install it onto wood?

Followed this step by step when I hung my heavy punch bag! Went to B&Q bought all the wall bolts and very similar drill everything went great. Thank you for this video mate!! 🙏🏼 👍🏻👍🏻

@@chiefnkosi7705 Check the wall your using will be able to take the weight first mate. I hung mine from the wall inside the garage [normal house brick] and after a month the mortar between the bricks started to crack from the heavy weight and me punching fuck out of the bag!! Think I’m going to have to go with a free standing bracket now.. 😢😢

[@jessielang8331]

In UAE here and living in Dubai from one of the old buildings.....Im planning to do this in my room to bolt a pull up bar. I need to drill 4 holes... 2 on each side. I think drilling is not an issue though not so sure if ill be hitting some cables or if its a solid block. Been checking videos on how to do this...

[@raymondpauly5576]

Best video I could find on how to use expansion bolts.

[@ethanf.6848]

Glad to see that you could remove it from the floor at the end of your demo!

[@johnhanley1890]

I used these 30 years ago to secure metal post supports to the top of a concrete wall, they’re as solid today as the day they were fitted.

[@johncroasdale1992]

I have used these fixings to hang up a chining bar for doing pull ups definitely the best for the job

@@helios3309 Seriously?

[@steelydan1242]

Thanks buddy. I had a few of these wall bolts in the tool box and not knowing what they were for or how to use them untill now.

[@mw2159]

Do you use a drill bit that is 1mm larger than the bolt/anchor? I drilled using 12mm drill bit on the wall, and went in out a few times. But the 12mm bolt/anchor can't seem to go in. I abandoned it now as I did not want it stuck halfway and I have to use pliers to get it out or have to hammer it in.

[@edward_grabczewski]

What an excellent video. I've been struggling trying to get mine to expand and I think I'll need to use a bit of resin to help but at least I finally understand how they work. Cheers!

[@trecker59]

I used the old 1/4" whit Rawl bolt on heavy hanging basket brackets some 40+ years ago and there still solid, I have removed and refitted them many times for painting also using the same bolts.

[@Sophia-dq8xj]

Thank you for this video, without it my husband would have made a couple of mistakes. Very informative.

[@madeinyorkshire2203]

Great video! How would you fix something very heavy to a single leaf garage wall, please? Thanks

[@RAINE____]

Mate, I've got no interest in DIY/joinery at all but these videos are mint. They're so relaxing. I've seen you dismantle two hotels, renovate two houses, inspect a couple of new builds and now demonstrate some mad claw anchor bolt things. Awesome.

[@nowthenad3286]

I am spending my evening watching a video of a bloke balancing his entire body weight on the top of a bolt...and finding it weirdly enjoyable. Great videos

[@gustavou286]

I guess u r fucked up man

[@syl764]

Now a video in real time of you putting one back together when it comes apart. I bought 20 yesterday and 4 of them fell apart. Unfortunately I needed to use 18 and Screwfix had now closed. I spent more time putting two back together than I did fitting the rest of the shelves!

[@leegriffiths312]

Best explanation of anchor bolts on here! Thank you

[@nyegrant5937]

Great video, thank you. I have a question…for stationary items I imagine this would be perfect but would this be suitable for heavy moving items such as a heavy duty boxing bag? My thoughts are, as the bag is moving the fixings might break away some on the wall material and so loosing its integrity. What do you think? Any suggestions on what I should use if not these? Cheers

[@chrisperrins8082]

Excellent and patient presentation. I have learnt a lot.

[@chip2881]

Like how you explain all features and leave no questions, solid vid

[@charliesanders8331]

Thanks Andy for such a clear and comprehensive video. I had a few queries as to how to use these anchors and it has answered them all.

[@cobrahutch]

Hi Andy, I have to agree with other comments made, I use concrete or “Lightning bolts” these days. I once tried to hang a heavy duty tv/satellite bracket on a new extension wall using rawl bolts. I drilled into the centre of the brick to find the bricks had frogs in them, the rawl bolts would not anchor and kept spinning. Ended up having to use chemical anchors instead after drilling many holes..... Rawl bolts are ok for drilling into concrete and dense concrete block, personally I wouldn’t use them on brickwork unless I was confident the bricks were solid. Thought I would share my experience, hope it helps!

[@rabri-ghewar]

Thankyou sir I was fitting my pull up bars in wall and I only knew about plastic anchors These metal anchors came with the setup and i did not know how to use it. 👍🏼

[@chevyimp5857]

great channel.one of the best with minimal fluff...Crucial to hoover out the hole.. I normally insert with bolt fully home otherwise there is a possibility of pushing the wedge out when tapping in...

[@stevenm2810]

What kind of anchor would you recommend for hanging something on an exterior brick wall of a house?

[@antares444]

Can I use them to put timber into brick wall which gonna be used as a support for rafters above the patio?

[@marcchrys]

The Screwfix site suggests a 10mm drill bit for M8 sleeve anchors and I've seen other videos suggesting 12mm?

[@TOTandMom]

This is a great video. I see everyone talking about using them in concrete or brick and mortar. What about drywall?

[@thecatat7]

Thanks for posting this! Very informative for a noob like me. Thank you very much again.

[@DS-cy6mf]

Great video! Will I be able to use them on cinder block to anchor a safe?

[@HarrySingh-gb8xq]

Great video explaining how these bolts work, my question is; Is there a bolt with the same casing that once screwed in has a 'special' screw head which makes it hard for someone to just come along and unscrew and walk away with what it's holding to the wall. I have some railings that are bolted into a brick wall and I'm trying to make it difficult for a chancer to just unscrew and walk off with them. Thanks in advance

[@rrsrsamsung3623]

Hi Andy. Excellent video. I tried installing some of these anchor bolts but the bolt is not catching the nut. I think my drilled hole may be deeper than the anchor bolt. Any solution or should I drill elsewhere a shorter hole. ?

[@pennyy9965]

Would these also work in Breeze Block? If not, what would you recommend. I am wanting to install a gun safe which will be resting on the floor. Thanks.

[@kstevenson3504]

Thanks you explained all the aspects of this not just putting it in the concrete.

[@nataliebutler]

I need to hold a long branch onto a base. The wood is very hard. Would it work for this or would you recommend something else?

[@carlruss7003]

This is great! Can these be used on a brick fireplace hearth (thin plaster over it ) I’m not sure how thick the brick is and if it classes as a single leaf wall

[@Abdul20255]

Great video this is. I have a 12m rod that I need to fix to wall for a glass Juliet balcony but there is no bit for me to put the spanner on the end to tighten it’s just a full rod. Any suggestions on how I can tighten this up. Thanks.

[@aadittoshen]

Hey! Thanks for that clear and instructive video! Could you help me with a specific problem? I want to pour a concrete slab - incorporating such wall bolts into it - rater than drilling holes later... Once the slab is solid - I want to remove the bolts from the housing (which should stay within the slab) and reinstate them to fasten my 'load' onto the slab. Do you think this could work? Thanks in advance!

[@nineth944]

If you add an extra 5mm to the depth, won't you risk the nut falling into the bottom, and the bolt and nut turning simultaneously and making no progress? I've seen M8 bolts where the nuts aren't stuck to the sleeve, but they are free if there is no bolt through them!

[@sugarraydiabetes8274]

Is there a better feeling than a plug or bolt tightening solid into a wall and it being level. It never gets old for me even for a simple wallplug and screw.

[@illuminate06]

Should my external newbuild house wall with render over brick be strong enough to fix a wall mounted pull up bar using these fittings. I'm 85kg and the pull bar takes 6 bolts?

[@rogeliomedrano555]

Friend:what size of GI tubular usually use for making just one room attach to concrete by using wallbolts?tnks &keep safe...

[@problemslayer3538]

What type of sleeve anchor would you use for attaching a motorycle anchor, specifically the hiplok wall anchor weighs less than 2kg i would say, to a brick wall. A reasonable heavy motorcycle chain will be going through the hiplok anchor. Would it be a drop in sleeve or expansion sleeve ?

[@artursskabs3951]

Perfect 👌very good explanation. Now I know how to use bolts. Thanks

[@timewithsopy]

great info for dummies like me. Thank you!

[@DavePawson]

Useful, thanks. Question: you mention in passing 'longer bolts', e.g. to fasten a batten to a wall? How to id such rawlbolts? What's the max thickness of bracket / batten for these please? When to choose a plug vs when to choose a bolt?

[@randomscience4k]

Hi there sorry to trouble you however I am looking for some advice. I am going to be building a window cannopy at the front of my house. And I have been instructed to fix some 6x2 timber to the house in order to take the weight of the cannopy and to fix it using resin and screwed rod. However as my house has wall cavities I can only insert the rods in 50mm. Should this be enough to hold the cannopy of is there any other fixing method I can use for example going through the cavity into the internal brickwork and use some other fixings?? Thanks

If they're surrounded by other bricks you're normally fine but these can *easily* split bricks if they're at the edge of a wall for example. 👍
