How to fix REALLY HEAVY things to walls? Meet the WALL BOLT!

Have you ever wondered how to attach REALLY heavy things to walls? Things like giant heavy radiators, huge TVs and the like? How do the pros attach safety railings to walls to ensure they won't fall down? Welcome to the world of WALL BOLTS! Wall bolts also get known was Shield Anchors, Rawlbolts and probably various other names. They're designed for attaching VERY heavy things to solid walls such as brick, concrete, stone and blockwork. You can also use them to attach heavy things to concrete floors and ceilings. In this video I'll give you a few tips of how to use them - welcome back to the Gosforth Handyman Tips Library!

[@emhavaemhava8029]

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

[@PinoyTechTutorials]

you deserve it sir!

[@AfterFart]

This is by far the most useful video on expansion bolts. I'm super glad I came across this, after having watched countless people merely screwing the thing into concrete and calling it a day.

[@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.

[@raymondpauly5576]

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

[@kstevenson3504]

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

[@Neilgal12]

Great video. Quality explanation, quality filming and editing - none of that’s easy, but you made it look easy. Thanks!

[@sandorkovacs9271]

fixing anything to anywhere, a man cannot finish the job without saying this: THIS ISN'T GOING ANYWHERE. love it :)

[@themaldivian4115]

Hahah so true . We say that all the times after doing any fixing work. I guess it's a universal thing

[@mrslkungpowchikn1206]

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

[@Orion74205]

I hope to be using these exact bolts to wall mount a display cabinet to an exterior wall in a small bedroom. Never used such a thing before but you make it look so easy, thanks!

[@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!

[@blackbird8632]

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

[@emirumpf9947]

The design makes this AC a possible alternative to ductless DYI systems. It works great. The remote control could be more visual aid oriented like a backligh design. Is impossible to see the lcd at least for me. Easy install th-cam.com/users/postUgkx_hHgTlzH3uk31Fe2RVS3xEbXHGaN_z5Tation. Came on time . Great comfort around the house 5 🌟 again. Follow mfg instructions for care and all and this should be the only AC you need for those of is that don't live in new homes with central AC

[@lw7228]

Best video I have seen how to attach these. Clear and concise. A pearl between the rubbish out there. Keep making these video's. Thank you from Holland

[@rivolinho]

Great video. About to fix a gun safe to a solid wall and never used these fixings before. Very helpful!

[@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!

[@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. :)

[@chip2881]

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

[@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.

[@WASOMAMOSES]

This has been so helpful, thank you

[@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.

[@brianfield792]

Andy,great video, you are so easy to watch and listen to. Your my friend in the diy world, thanks,brian

[@leegriffiths312]

[@eozen81]

Very useful guide pal, Thank you for the review

Wonderful video! Finally understand how these work. Trying to add a couple of new ceiling ikea light fixtures and I got a similar wall expansion hook bolt.

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?

[@charithjg1982]

Thanks for the tutorial..

[@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...

[@user-wr2py6wn5e]

Thankyou brother ❤!

[@hamidahmed8076]

Thank you, I found your video very helpful 👍

[@ethanf.6848]

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

[@howard2501]

Fantastic video thank you! Going to use these to support a pullup bar running between two walls and wasn't happy with the frame fixings I'd bought being man enough for the job. These look just the job.

[@thecatat7]

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

[@byzanttine]

Thanks for the video. I was going to fix something similar to install a heavy geyser and this video was very helpful.

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.

[@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.

[@manzildeuja666]

this is just gold ....thanks for the in depth tutorial. hanged it on my wall for wall mounted pull up bar. now i have to pull it out again and shift it another place... this informative vid' helps putting it in and pulling it out ;) XD

[@grzegorz16100]

That is what I will be using it for

[@helios3309]

Is your pull-up bar holding up. Mine fell of the wall in 10 days after installation.

[@qEnergize]

@@helios3309 Seriously?

[@chrisl6167]

Got four of the eyelet kind of these to fit today so this is the advice i was lookin for. Good video, subscribed and liked👍

Thanks for this. I'm not afraid of wallbolts now!

[@luminous6810]

Excellent wall bolt....

[@anirbannath6073]

Thank you.

[@christophermathison1276]

Hi. Thanks for the video. Presumably these would work well into a concrete ceiling too or do you think there is a better solution out there?

[@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.

[@t190uk]

I can't believe u drilled ur garage floor just for a demo....fair play! Great video 👍

Thanks a lot for explained

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.

I’ve got a depth gauge on my drill but this may sound silly but I never had a clue what it was used for till I saw this video..lol 😂you learn something new every day.

That's a kind of demonstration that i want...thanks

Awesome bro... I should have watched this video before i messed up an anchor bolt...

[@samia342]

Thanks for this, very informative video. I just bought these and was wondering how they work. Came here and now I know what I need to do. Thanks so much! Great work.

[@macabelli5811]

Great guide, these wall bolts are impressively strong. Don't make the mistake I've done once when I've fixed these to plaster wall and overtightened them. Whole wall on the other side was cracked XD
