thanks this was very helpful!

I want to install a pant hanger. Do I need a hammer drill? I don't want to rent one. I have a regular drill (I think with hammer function) and an impact drill.

"most of us have these things" me just here for the vibes 👁👄👁

missing bit is to find out where to drill in the brick as bricks are hollow is a pain

Thank You Sooo Much....66 yrs old...didn't know that.....esp the tap w/ hammer...very nice

You don't have any safety gear on

What would the advice be for doing this on bricks that have holes in, so they are hollow inside.

After pounding it down i got the 4x4 stuck in the spike and cant pull it out to put my actual stud in. Dont know what to do now

Drilled into the wall for the first time today. The first drill attempt wasn't the straightest, but the second went it like a glove. Well chuffed. This video is spot on sir.

If only the century old Victorian clay bricks of my house drilled as easy as those..modern bricks are piss poor compared to the bricks of yesteryear

Funny, the drainpipe bracket behind you is drilled into the mortar...

I love the conversation here. My job is small so I'm going for the mortar.

Thank you my good man answered all of my concerns.

One of the best videos on the internet, good quality, quick to the point and actual great pro tips that you don’t hear everyday. Mind blown.

Thank you for answering a basic question! Everything I find seems to leave out the basics and you're supposed to just jump in at intermediate level. I don't want to have to guess then mess up interior brick that's in a prominent place in my house!

Do you need to use inserts when connecting cooper to plastic or plastic to plastic?

Would this be good enough for a pergola? Want to use 6x6 posts though.

It feels like you have a scientific mindset (limiting movement uncertainty, gravity doing the work, etc). Subscribed!

what i hate the most is concrete wall but where i live the all ceiling is made of concrete so imagine if you want to hang a light

You guys can use any fittings and pipe you like, in my house always will be soldered copper,,i do insurance call outs ,cant understand why people think thermoplastic is ok for hot water, every time a thermostat fails - burst pipe,

Should I worry about gas or water pipes below ground? Or are these usually much lower than these fence spikes can reach?

Thank you 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Thankyou so much! This was everything I needed in one video rather than other creators who break this up into 12 x 5 mins parts 😂.

👍👍

Doesn’t need any insert ?

what about cinders block... same process?

So all of the shelves in my hours are on a slant. HAHAh So I am going to put these shelves somewhere else on the outdoor patio or just get a stand. That looked easy, but I don't want to mess it up. Thank you for the explanation.

If some light and long fitting like cable or electrical conduit, it's fine to drill into the mortar. This saves spoiling the face of numerous bricks and also easier to drill especially if you have very hard bricks.

Hello, thanks for this, really helpful. Do you think I can use these for decking posts too? It's not a huge area, but it's raised; about 3 foot from the ground and the side beams would also be attached to two outside walls. Any advice about using these instead of concreting the posts in? Thank you. Niki

What about torque please for both drilling and screwing? What's ideal? Thanks!

0:50 That is exactly how cats pee 🤭

Best way to remove these?

I really like how you explain DIYers in plain language without fancy music or promotions. Great video. keep on truckin !

How do you drill a high up spot when you don't have your bodyweight to push it enough, If you're on a ladder for example. Any tips?

Sometimes my bits go into the brick, sometimes it doesn't. Gives me anxiety when I have to hang or do something on brick.

That was a very clean hole you drilled. Which is better--the cements or the plastic anchor especially when drilling holes for larger screws?

I tried to drill the brick on my house that was built in the 1930s and the bit skidded all over. The bricks seem to be made of some form of advanced Kryptonian alloy.

Proper solid bricks them old ones that size screw would go a quarter inch into a modern brick then into a hole or deep frog

I dont feel comfortable with your face being so close to all the particle dust. You really ought to wear safety glasses please.

note for folk in the northern hemisphere, white spirit = mineral spirits

Thank🙏

Thanks ✌️ 🙂

Straightforward, informative, and accurate. Thank you for sharing this.

Just what I needed, i lost my Dad in 22 he was an expert at these things having being an electrician his whole working life. Thanks again 👍

Thank you sir!

The marking of the pipe, was something I did on every joint. (Not a plumber but competent DIY’er). Every cut done with proper tool, then cleaned the end which put a slight radius on the pipe end, then marked it. Reason for the marking helps when I was reaching in some awkward places. Most of the time you know the pipe has touched the end, but sometimes it was the mark that let me know all was good. First time, I plumed everything in my house, 7 radiators, no solder, no plumber, 7 years on and no leaks or problems. Take you r time, work methodically, and you will do a good job.

Just what I needed to know, that red brick can be drilled into - thanks for a great video.

Mate this is my project this weekend and your advice has helped sooo much! Thank you.

Instead of twisting the spike to off set, if you alternate sides with sledge hammer will it have go in straight instead of off setting?

To avoid misalignment of the hole, begin drilling into the brick face with the hammer action off and at a low speed. Once the drill bit has made a small indentation of about 2-3mm, you can then continue drilling with the hammer action on. Or you could use a centre punch first to avoid drill bit shift.
