@alro7779 Год назад

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.

@hughhopwood7421 10 месяцев назад

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 9 месяцев назад

great tip... #pause

@mickdanvers1530 8 месяцев назад

@that1electrician 8 месяцев назад

@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.

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.

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

@HandyBros 3 года назад

Thanks for the valuable feedback. I concur that having the nut on top of the bolt will surely protect the bolt thread from the hammer miss hits.

@e.r.6147 2 года назад

@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

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

@datrucker210 3 года назад

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?

@HandyBros 3 года назад

That's correct. You may to pick the size ensuring you achieve about 2.5 inch of bolt embedment.

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.

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

@jonathanarias2729 2 года назад

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

@HandyBros 2 года назад

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!

@drkndn 3 года назад

Using power tools to tighten a nut that requires a specific torque. No wonder your post is wobbling.

@HandyBros 3 года назад

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

@drkndn 3 года назад

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

@HandyBros 3 года назад

That's a great feedback. I'll definitely be cautious on the torque next time.

@tonyaguilar2151 3 года назад

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

@HandyBros 3 года назад

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.

@lukeds21 3 года назад

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

@HandyBros 3 года назад

Thanks for your suggestion! They anchor bolts a re rated for outdoor use.

@truthalonetriumphs6572 6 месяцев назад

What bit do you use on the hammer drill to drive the anchor down?

@asherdog9248 Год назад

What do you do to keep water from getting into the hole and freezing and cracking the concrete?

@MycobraII 11 месяцев назад

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.

@easyspeak101 Год назад

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.. 🤔

@HandyBros Год назад

great advice! Have the nut attached to the bolt before hammering.

@halfcaf1105 2 года назад

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.

@HandyBros 2 года назад

thank you for the feedback. I totally agree!

@kittshausman6191 3 года назад

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.

Good for rock climbing anchors?

@HandyBros 3 года назад

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.

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.

@DeuSJaguaR Год назад

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.

@@HandyBros ye but you can push them inside hole and cement on top ?

@HandyBros 2 года назад

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.

@MrEinniv 3 года назад

@@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.
