I’m a first time homeowner, a woman and don’t know nothing about drilling. I’m trying to mount a mirror to a stone wall in my bathroom and this helped a lot.

[@samanthamccoleman1198]

I LOVE this video. It doesn’t talk over people and yet it doesn’t talk down to them. It’s easy to understand and things are explained without judgment or bravado. Having the multiple points of view between the instructor and the camera(wo)man was PERFECT! There needs to be more how-to videos like this! Thank you!

[@TingTingalingy]

Yes, that was great with the camera woman asking questions

[@ami2846]

To catch debris, I tape an open envelope below the drill spot. Just a tip for those who don’t have a vacuum attachment. Helps with the cleanup.

[@REAnyAJ]

Dust bowl is good too

[@Ian-yf7uf]

Shop vac filters are so expensive I've been sweeping after projects instead of vacuuming 😂

[@Sbock86]

Love how you drilled straight through but left it in the video.

Did a great job explaining how to drill into cinder block. However I did notice you spun the first tapcon. The second and third one were fine. I just wanted to mention watch your torque setting on your driver or you will over spin the tapcon. For myself I like to use my power driver to drive it 90% of the way then switch to a socket and hand driver so I can feel the torque on the screw and know when to stop. It's imperative that you do not over spin the tapcon or it will not hold. Thanks for taking the time to make the video.

Wow... I cannot tell you how helpful this video has been for us... We just moved into our first home and looking to install a bracket, such as the one in your video, to hang up our lawn care tools in the basement... This DIY video was so well done and easy to grasp exactly what we need to do. Thank you for sharing your expertise with us... Excellent job explaining it from start to finish. Much appreciated!!

Its called a "chuck" because it has a chuck-key, and Chucky's in Love.

Don’t know what rock iI’ve been under but dude….just awesome. Charismatic and smart and easy to listen to. Thanks

This is the best kind of DIY video, funny, with random questions thrown in.

[@BarberellaFromUPS]

Thanks for this!! I'm an AV tech and I sent this to my students as a 101 on hanging TVs in concrete block. Very useful with just the right amount of information.

[@WS-bk7uu]

In nine minutes I went from not having a clue how to hang something on a wall and now feeling like I can do it. Thanks KZbin and Gardenfork! My masculinity is feeling reassured.

[@Cotton088]

chuck is a derivative of the original term chock. Things were chocked in place...which became chuck. An example of a verb becoming a noun

[@gardenfork]

Wow Paul, thanks for that, makes total sense to me now. Thx!

[@william9169]

Thank you so much for this! I have been having an awful time figuring out how to hang new curtains in our apartment. Now i know the easy way!

[@walter.bellini]

I absolutely loved watching this video, the video chemistry was perfect the short narration from her was enjoyable, the knowledge was really helpful and learning factor and adjusting to finding out the concrete stud wasn’t there was perfect as everyone has those moments while doing projects, it was fun, real and raw. Really, honestly great video “10” point guys!! I will forever link concrete studs to cinder blocks because of her! Perfect DIY video thank you

[@user-sd8bz2zr5j]

This is my first time learning how to drill and i find this video to be an excellent demo. I'll rate the video A+ I guess. It truly has it all.

[@fuyu5979]

Just saw your video on drilling into concrete Although not planning to install shelving on concrete wall at this time, your info on drilling into concrete etc is very helpful and more meaningful. Kudos for your video. Please upload more. Thanks!

[@krychy]

Wow glad I found this, not only entertaining but easy to follow along!! And this is a video from 5 years ago 😮

[@spartanwarrior6573]

Great tutorial, I just hung my pool equipment on my block wall. Great job on helping us DIYers 👍🏽

Wow great. Glad I could help.

I loved this video, it got me to smile while actually teaching me how to drill properly. Thank you so much:) We just bought our first house and I want to have a go at doing things myself, rather than paying someone else to do it.

[@mindypeters892]

We just bought the exact same tool hanging system and were having trouble trying to drill in the blocks. Found your video and know we know what to do! Hoping to rent a hammer drill but if not, we’ll buy one. Thank you for such a great, great video!!!!

[@elizabethmyguguleboo0.o527]

A "chuck" the seated area where the bits sit while it drills or hammers. By the way, thanks for the video. Had an idea about the cinder blocks. But your clarification helped me remember where it's best to drill in dense not hollow 😊

You sir and your wife are a great match! Great video also! Thanks!

Wow well made video for amateur like me, and thanks to the smart lady behind the camera too.

[@haoUdodat]

Thanks for this! Im getting ready to tackle a similar project in my garage this week, and didn't even think about the hollow parts of the blocks.

[@TwinbeeUK]

I only have a cordless screwdriver (with drill function, no hammer action), but VERY good quality bits (Bosch Pro Multi-Purpose Drill Bit Set - hex shank) and it makes mince meat of any concrete blocks. Turns out tungsten carbide does all the magic (rated 9 on the Mohs scale), and so it's 3 to 10x faster drilling than with my old drill bits. The hex shank is a dream too as that it means it'll never slip in the chuck. It's obviously a lot quieter than a hammer action drill too. No ear muffs necessary, though I would recommend a dust mask (especially for the air duster part - great tip btw!), as concrete dust is nasty stuff. Tried scratching glass with these tungsten carbide drill bits and it was pretty amazing. Without too much effort, the glass easily scratched and scraped (terrible sound!). Tried with my older cheaper masonry bit, and with tons of pressure, I managed to only scratch it very slightly.

[@jeffthewhiff]

This was a very interesting and informative video for drilling holes into concrete. I will be installing a new suspended ceilling for a customer soon and using tapcon screws should hold the perimeter suspended ceiling molding without any problem.

[@Mourningdove55]

Thank you for a great video. Now I know why I had a hard time trying to drill into cinderblock. Going to tackle that project this weekend!

[@gardenfork]

You may find rebar in the cinder block if the holes are filled with cement. This can dull the drill bit. Thx!

[@swipp9]

I would add to be careful when screwing in tapcons. If you over tighten they will strip out the concrete. I usually hand tighten the last turn or so, and put a little liquid nails on the tip too if I have some around

[@gardenfork]

Good idea! Yes you can strip them out. I agree thx!

I thought my brothers were special, lol they are but I don't know if I can get them to do manual work for me with such joy. They will most likely pay someone to do it, then I'm feeling worst that they came out of their pocket. As, a sister we always need the help and from our brothers. Take care of one another.

[@rocketman1969]

Well done! Very concise and nice to watch

[@manueljorge9432]

Before that kind of drill was introduced, the regular drill was used to drill on concrete wall. If you hit a stone, hit it with a concrete nail so can go on drilling or your dril bit will just keep on sliding on top of the stone.

[@ornino54]

Nice teaching very simple but very concise. thanks

Great video. I am glad I was looking up how to install anchors. Ended up finding a new awesome channel to subscribe to.

[@debbiebrown1793]

Eric, I was taught by my grandfather to drill into the mortar and not the brick, he told me that you can damage the integrity of the brick, so I Googled it and this is what I got along with your video from Garden Fork. "Do you drill into the brick or mortar? Make sure you drill into a mortar joint -- one of the white lines in between the brick. Do not drill directly into the brick! Not only would that be difficult, but you would risk cracking the brick. A masonry drill bit is designed for brick and concrete and is identifiable by a triangular-shaped tip. Nov 29, 2012"

[@gardenfork]

+Debbie Brown hi Debbie, this is one of those things where you will get several answers. I have seen mortal crack and degrade, so I don't drill into it. Thx!

[@debbiebrown1793]

GardenFork you are right Eric, I've seen both. Grandpa also showed me how to replace both if that happens, lol, he also taught me how to roll his cigarettes, so that tells you that he was a turn of the century baby and I'm a baby boomer.
