Years past rhis would have been vwey helpful, today bot as much. But there lots of folks for whom this is desperately needed, so thabks mate. As to nomenclature, I've always heard them as anchor bolts, cement/concrete anchors, or wall/floor anchors.
@@FixitwithFowler You're so welcome! I'm so sorry for the atrocious spelling before, good grief. As to names, I agree too. My best guess is they get names that make the most sense in the local dialect. Or if your crews work floors more than walls it makes sense they're a "Floor 'X.'" Same for walls or ceilings too, lol. Similar to calling a curio a gadget, gizmo, chotchky, nick-nack, and so on. Local and personal flavour colour our language.
I'm trying to amount a basketball hoop to a brick wall however I have access to the other side of the wall should I go with a nut and bolt instead of the anchor?
If you install them away from the edges of the brick and as per the manufacturer's instructions and don't over tighten them, then they will not crack the brick. The evidence is in the video!
