No wonder when I have always put nails in my walls, chunks of the wall come flying out. I was taught wrong. I was taught to go down at an angle. All my life, I have been putting in nails wrong. Thanks for this video!! :)
@@MrBurns0618 For that I get my handyman to screw in a strong nail with his machine. For light frames I have discovered that the only thing that works (for me) is a strong, short nail that won't bend. I have never been able to hammer in a thin nail without it bending and I never will. Thanks for the reply. Have a great year.
Unfortunately my plaster is so hard the nail won't even go in fractionally so it's impossible to even start it. I've hung pictures in numerous houses but never had this problem. The three pronged plastic hooks aren't suitable for the receptors on the back of the pictures so they're no good. I've had to improvise but for heavier things I've just drilled using raw plugs and screws but it's a nuisance if I want to then move it as the plasterwork will need to be repaired and painted.
I'm surprised he found it so easy. Try using tungsten (carbide) headed drill bits. This is a common problem when drilling into brick etc. Edit. Also use a Hammer drill.
One thing I have watched the all walls they are showing are plaster of Paris wall, they are not concrete wall, because the nails are going very easily in the wall, so these is all BAKWAS
