How to attach wood to concrete or cement like a pro fast and easy

[@John..18]

Thank you,, I'm very old, and always wondered what these newfangled Tapcon things were,, 🤣,, now I'm a fully qualified Tapcon expert just like you,, great video too,, 👍👍

[@ToolReviewZone]

Haha, awesomeness

[@stephenleepmg113]

That's amazing that a little 12 volt drill can do that. Battery tools have really come a long way. Cool video, thanks, Clint !!!!

[@fartjokes101]

As someone who grew up with an elderly father that never had the energy for DIY thus never passed down knowledge of such things, these videos are a blessing to a homeowner such as myself. Thank you, Clint.

[@ToolReviewZone]

Appreciate this comment brother

When you wear out the drill bit that came with your box of tapcons, I recommend Erwin as a replacement bit. Bought a 5 pack on Amazon super cheap, because if they wore out as fast as the drill bit that came in the box of tapcons I would be needing five. Well surprise surprise!!! The Irwin bits are so much harder that I'm still on the first bit and the project is done. Also the hole is slightly different with the Irwin bits and the tapcon Fasteners actually grip harder in the hole drilled by the Irwin bits. 😮

[@meagaindave2049]

Yo Clint! You're exactly right in doing both wood and concrete in hammer mode. As I live in Florida and don't know if a hurricane is gonna DEFINITELY hit our area until about 12-24 hours ahead of time. In that moment of discovery, I don't have time to measure already-drilled holes in the concrete block wall to match the 5/8" plywood sheets being used to board over windows and doors. Lay the wood over and DRILL, baby, drill! Then, yes, the impact driver for the tapcons for the final step of that one particular hole. Yes, I see each step of each fastener to completion one by one by one. That way, I'm not going over the entire 4x8 sheet 2 and 3 times. I'd rather change out tools (twice) for each individual penetration. Not one single sheet of boarded up plywood has ever failed that I've fastened. Up to 150 mph winds and driving rain for a nonstop 12-24 hour period. Serious stuff. Oh, btw, I use Phillips-drive tapcons. Not intentionally, they were free, so....

[@ToolReviewZone]

Definitely need some strength to help against those high winds brother

[@dianneo5488]

Thanks for a "right to the point" video. Very helpful!

[@balamala2647]

If I want to attach a 2x4 to a cinder block wall to build a patio off of it, do you recommend Tapcons or Ramset nails? Which one is strongest? Thanks for the informative videos Clint.

[@frederickwatson557]

Thanks for the information and the good demonstrations. This video is exactly what I was looking for. Great job.

[@rubenmadrid3154]

Awesome appreciate the info always. Thanks 👍👍

[@mannurse7421]

[@mannurse7421]

[@ToolReviewZone]

[@deniseledford7923]

Dude, you've got Milwaukee! They are among the BEST!!!

[@alexdecoteau7002]

I love me some tapcons!

[@paulpoco22]

I tried the otherday to use Tapcons. The included Tapcon drill bit took forever. Then when i drove the Tapcon in, it wouldn't stay in. Tried a different Tapcon size and got a Diablo mansonary bit, the masonary drill bit worked better but again the Tapcon wouldn't stay in. Then tried a new hold with the Diablo masonry bit, the bit burnt up and melted the tip red hot. Gave up and returned all Tapcons and drill bits.

[@EmilyHolt-rv8hf]

Ok... m12s... what's that? Hammer drill? I'm from uk Is there anything on market that's am eletric drill that can swap parts for hammer drill bang poo? Idk I'm just a girlllll I wanna build a shed to my concrete floor------ do you know if I'm allowed a wood shed on floor as it rains ALOT or should I have it elevated on some sort of heavy duty plastic grids? Or shed too heavy? Should I elevate it just making a wooden base? Decisions are my weakest point!!!@@!!@@ Thanks for the vids- I subscribed as I found your vid easy to watch& plenty of info, thankyou!

[@EmilyHolt-rv8hf]

I'll watch the vid you mentioned next- just don't want to buy 2 drills? Is there any multi purpose I can swap heads with? Thanks! I'm also needing one to drill masonry/ insulation screw bits into walls for other hanging baskets / signs ect

[@EmilyHolt-rv8hf]

Woodage

[@awildapproach]

VERY helpful! Thank you for sharing a very fast and easy way to do this. I'm planning on adding a trellis to the outside of my garage, and I think this will really help me out.

[@jeffstools]

good video👍

[@steelvalleysportsmen7737]

There is an entire level of hell just for people who use slotted tapcons....

[@ToolReviewZone]

Hahahahaha 🤣🤣🤣👊

[@kevinyoung9117]

Tapcon screws are crap I used them to tie down my downspout and couldn’t remove the screws and all they did is break off the tops off when taking the screws out to replace my broken downspout. Hope another manufacturer can come up with a way better screw for concrete construction.

[@shaunweaver3784]

If you don't know the difference from a drill and hammer drill, then you need to subscribe or you are watching out of order. Clint done told us in yesterday's video. 😁

[@ToolReviewZone]

Haha, I definitely done toooold them Shaun!!! 🤣👊

[@sicariosicario9889]

Any hammer drill would work even DIYers who use Ryobi Clint !!!

[@808jonnysmith]

What about toggler alligators?

[@mos8541]

everyone LOVES shootin the hilti gun, tho in a big site, not a single family one crew job, it can get a little umm.... noisy... hah

[@DoubleHelix113]

They always strip out for me. Not a fan of tapcons.

[@ToolReviewZone]

Ramset?

[@ThaGrangerZone]

that first one he screwed in stripped in the video lmao

[@dicanelectric]

Wait. Super glue doesn't work?

[@stephenfiore9960]

…..I was gonna use “shoe repair glue” myself (had done extra lying around the house and I wanted to get rid of it)

[@stephenfiore9960]

…What about old chewing gum??

[@ToolReviewZone]

Sure, why not 👊

[@tedmcdonald3377]

😎⚒️😎⚒️😎

[@DIYDEGEN]

What about stucco

[@meagaindave2049]

Stucco is layered directly over concrete block. Therfore, it's fine.

[@stephenleepmg113]

Two words sir. DUCK TAPE !!!!!

[@ToolReviewZone]

Hahaha

[@AB-nu5we]

So, you're saying that using my SDS Max as a daily driller is overkill? Ha ha. Great tips here.

[@meagaindave2049]

No. He's merely stating that for a DIY homeowner tackling a small project that an SDS rotary hammer drill could be overkill. That's all.

[@AB-nu5we]

@@meagaindave2049 My comment was tongue-in-cheek, hence the 'ha ha'. Yeah, a SDS Max drill is way overkill for basic masonry work.

[@garyb.4080]

Why can’t you just use the impact driver for the whole job?

[@meagaindave2049]

An impact driver can "handle" hammering into concrete with a masonry bit, it's not recommended. Use the right tool for the right job. 💯

[@stephenfiore9960]

…I’ve got 6 steaks, but I’m gonna let you eat hamburger. The week after you can have a bologna with ketchup

[@ToolReviewZone]

Fine.... whatever 😪

[@johngallati8164]

How can I attach my granny to A cinder block so she doesn't go all crazy like and wonder off.?

[@ToolReviewZone]

I would go with a few eye bolts and a heavy-duty chain 👊

[@harlanborders943]

Any of you ever had to nail into concrete along the floor. Ware a hammer head out driving them concrete nails . You knew real quick if it was to cured nock a chunk out big as your fist. Good times

[@sgtpepper4971]

Too bad you’re in Louisiana backwoods! If ya was in the northwest I could buy us a steak. Kidding, thanks for info.

[@rodgerneeb301]

Ramset. It happens faster than you can say the name.

[@meagaindave2049]

Using a pin gun through wood into concrete is just asinine. The fastener will blow right through the wood and, soley, into the concrete. Useless.

[@rodgerneeb301]

@meagaindave2049 It's almost as if you have no clue that there are multiple strength levels.

[@mattwallace7058]

Always buy good tools. Or you'll get a harbor freight, ryobi, craftsman tool that catches fire in your hand when it can't handle it 😂

[@IMPACT-NATION]

Those T-30 Flush heads….well…. They’re real nassss like🤌

[@ToolReviewZone]

Definitely REAL NASS LIKE BROTHER!!!!

[@merikatools568]

I use semen

[@janniehayes7175]

Sounds like you need a doctor
