Its easy to overlook, but one stray strike with the hammer and the thread is toast. Always run a nut onto the threads as a protector and it gives you a larger strike face too.
@illwill718 I usually double, sometimes triple stack nuts onto the threads. Now you have a larger strike face, and more rigidity added to the anchor, it won't bend as easy.

@@that1electricianHood idea using several nuts vs just one.
Have fun destroying the threads and rendering the anchor useless. Attach the nut to the top of the bolt before hammering to protect the threads, will save you a lot of time and headache
@Jared K - I disagree if you hammer 🔨 the top without the but it is safer than hammering with the nut on. Hammering with the nut on puts stress on the attached thread rows as you strike the hammer. Doing it your way is DUMB
I have a parking post to install with supplied wedge anchors but no instructions at all. I had no idea how to use these and post fitting videos have various methods and bolts with sleeves and plugs. This is the first video I've found which gives thorough knowledge on how to use the bolts and how they work. Thank you, saved me hours of bodging and botching usually resulting in disaster.
Tip : if you put your nut on before hammering the anchor in, you won't run into the problem of damaging the thread and not being able to put the nut on.
Will this also work for stucco? Got a heavy sunscreen shade to hang but only have stucco on the outside no cement (cheap American construction). Not sure if the anchors will hold
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
Due to the level arm created by the post, the base plate was slightly bending when the force was applied. However, the post was part of the patio roof that had other connections to the beams and cross bracing to provide stability.
I WANT TO MAKE A CLIMBING WALL - MY HOUSE'S TALL SIDE IS A 5 METER WALL/ CINDER BLOCK - I WAS GIVEN 2 WEDGE BOLT STAINLESS 12 MM WITH ANCHOR HANGER -- CAN I DO THIS ?
Thank you so much for the valuable feedback. I totally agree with the fact that power tools should be avoided where a specific torque is needed. The torque required was high and we set the impact driver to low setting before driving. Thanks
Thank you for making this video. I just bought a hammer drill to use to install an AC Guard Protector and drill it into concrete so was searching for the right video on how to drill into concrete and came across your video and it really help to what I'm looking to do. Thank you again!
Several comments already posted on a basic step in the process of using a nut flush on top of the bolt when driving into the drilled hole. I was surprised to see that basic mistake
if you have a solid block, you should be able to use the wedge anchors for them as well. However, I have another video for attaching a wood to the masonry wall using Tapcon concrete/ masonry screw. Do check that video as well!
I want to install the pullup and dips bar that's out there into my wall in my apartment . Would you say this is strong enough to hold me up I'm about 170lbs? Thanks
Firstly, This is for concrete or masonry application. I don't think this would work for the application that you are seeking even if you are anchoring it to concrete.
If you screw a barrel nut on the end you can use the hammer drill to drive the anchor down with less damage. Also it wouldn't hurt to use thread lubricant and depending if it's outside I would consider using stainless steel so it won't get rusty over time
I wish I saw this video sooner. This explains exactly what I didn't understand before regarding what drill bit size and how deep to drill. I didn't know these things and I ended up drilling a 1/2" whole for a sleeve that is way too small for it. The sleeve simply slides out and now I don't know what to do 😭
To add. Be aware hitting soft metal too hard will expand the bolt and not possible to get nut on. If you drill a hole the bolt may only go in the hole part of the way.. tempting you to hit harder.. 🤔
Good info, however one does not want to damage the threads while hammering into concrete. Ensue you have the nut flush with the threads prior to hammering into the concrete.
Check the technical specifications form the manufacturer here: www.itwredhead.com/portals/0/fmproductcatalog/documents/products/39/trubolttechnicaldata.pdf I would assume, if installed right, they should work for the rock climbing anchors.
the hole is typically drilled 1/4 in more than the embedment. so if you plan to push them bolt down in future, then consider drilling the longer hole when installing to you could push them in later.
Thanks for your feedback. This may just be an illusion. The bolt held firmly and we atrached the post base plate for a patio roof column with no issues.
@@HandyBros haha an illusion. It fucking wobbled dude. Likely cause is using your driver to tighten rather than a torque wrench. On the package you showed it specified 55 ft lbs, drivers are great for driving screws but not so great at getting that specific torque.
@@MrEinniv Ive installed various versions of these, the one in the video is 16 gauge garbage, and did wobble. I went with the stronger 12gauge with 4x4 post and was able to lean on it 180 lbs, with minimal wobbling and movement
That was painful to watch the hammering of the anchor. Best way to hammer something with threads is to place the nut on the bolt and screw it on until it's flush with bolt, then hammer. That protects the threads, prevents the end of the bolt from mushrooming, and saves a lot of headaches.
@@mike1357988 Yes I was always taught to let the nut take the damage not the threads. If you mess up the threads after its hit in, its just more work getting it back out to put a new one in. Plus with one or more nuts you can hammer until you reach the nut and can adjust the nuts so you don't hammer it too far.
Just a lil advice , never hit the bolt directly with the hammer , it's gonna damage the thread and the nut won't go through, always use a piece of wood over the bolt and then hammer it,.that'll save you time.
Good observation. There was no need for a recess hole for the nut and bolt in the post. The post base came with a plate that goes on top of the nut and bolt thus elevating the post by about an inch.
Those anchors you used are zinc plated & aren’t supposed to be used in exterior applications. For exterior they should be galvanized or stainless steel.
That is a multipurpose drill with the capability of hammer drill as well. One of my favorite Dewalt tool.. The link to the drill is in the description.

6:03 Before to start to hammer the bolt, the nut must be placed to prevent from not being able to screw it onto the bolt due to damage on the threads.

Will this work on wood 2x10?
In manual book don’t let to use impact tool ?
yes, avoid using impact driver to mistakenly over tighten the nut and damage the wedge end.

This was very helpful. Wish I would've seen it before drilling 4 unnecessary holes into my garage wall...lol
Very well done, sir. Just the kind of detail and explanation a beginner needs.
Thanks. check other video on our channel as well.
Wow you make this seem so easy. I thought this was going to be super hard. Thanks for the video.
I am gald this was helpful!
What do you do to keep water from getting into the hole and freezing and cracking the concrete?
If pounding on the anchor with a hammer doesn't bust the concrete then I doubt ice would. I'm not a carpenter that's just my guesd.
Hammer it in with the nut on to avoid damaged threads. Hammer the nut not the bolt. Great video!
Good tip!
I did that and messed up the thread now the bolt won’t go through and whole piece is just sliding
Thanks man I’m an apprentice In my job n never had to do this very helpful!

Can you do this into an unreinforced 4” concrete slab?
If you don't know how to use a drill or a vacuum cleaner, then this video is just right for you.
at least you learned something out of this :)
Does the post move? It looks like it was moving after
Due to the level arm created by the post, the base plate was slightly bending when the force was applied. However, the post was part of the patio roof that had other connections to the beams and cross bracing to provide stability.
I bought a pre cut shed from lowes and plan on putting it on an existing concrete slab so these wedge anchors should do the trick or longer ones?
That's correct. You may to pick the size ensuring you achieve about 2.5 inch of bolt embedment.
This is an excellent video showing the process for installing these anchors!

Using power tools to tighten a nut that requires a specific torque. No wonder your post is wobbling.
Thank you so much for the valuable feedback. I totally agree with the fact that power tools should be avoided where a specific torque is needed. The torque required was high and we set the impact driver to low setting before driving. Thanks
1/2 x 3 3/4 requires 55ft/lbs of torque. That's not low torque. Even on low setting, you could've easily overtightened that nut 20-30 ft/lbs
That's a great feedback. I'll definitely be cautious on the torque next time.

why is it still wobbly after you completed the install?
Never heard it called a Drill Machine but great video guys 👍🏼

Very nice, but make sure you run a nut over the threads before you hammer it in so you don't damage them.

What if this attachment hast to be placed in a wall, and you dont know where the concrete is and where the blocks?

When hammering a wedge anchor put the bolt on it and hammer against the face of the bolt so you don't destroy the thread on accident.
thank you for the feedback. I totally agree!
Nice video!
Excellent description, thank you! The step by step instructions were very clear.

Great video
I'm using 1/2 so use 1/2 drill bit right
typically that is the case. But do check with the instructions that come with the anchors you get just to confirm.
Did you end up using 1/2 drill bit? About to drill some today gonna be windy af tomorrow
Helpful. Thank you
I drilled 10 or so holes for anchors in the time it took you to drill one.
Great job. Share with us what drill did you use? Was that a rotary hammer drill?

Warning****** Never hammer down like that, it can strip the threads*****
The best would be have the nut on the tip of the bolt before hammering.
Those anchors you used are zinc plated & aren’t supposed to be used in exterior applications. For exterior they should be galvanized or stainless steel.
The length is pronounced, “three and three quarters inches.”
noted :)
Fun fact did anyone see the little bug crawling around😂
Your screwing that into a paver?
its a concrete slab.
Oh! Please put a nut on those threads before hammering or us a brass hammer. Otherwise you may mushroom the bolt.
