    This is the gold standard for how-to videos! Even though no tripod was used, the positioning of the camera was perfect for the viewer to see and understand along with the explanation. No annoying background music or crazy editing. Also, no annoying commentary on someone's life story as to how they got to learn this, etc.
    I love that a lady does all the commentary and demonstration. Wish there were more like this.

    HOWEVER, thank you very much! We were able to drill 80 concrete holes and ground 20 post bases under 2 hours with the proper tools and anchors!!

    just so you know, I'm building a new deck for my grandpa who has done everything for me, hes a little too old to be working out in the heat and I wanted to surprise him with a new porch for the front of his house since he always talks about wanting one. I grew up without a father figure and since my grandpa worked in coal mining for about 65 years he was out of the country a lot of the time. so I never really got taught how to build anything or work on anything, but I didn't let it stop me im a successful welder now and I own two welding companies, I watch your videos for things i don't know how to do with this, like concrete anchors and such. you've filled a big whole in my building knowledge and you're helping people do great things.

    Nice video. Great info for any DIYer to have.
    TIP: Make sure when driving threaded anchors to back the nut off the end until end of the thread is recessed below the nut face a tad (so you are pounding on the nut not the threaded rod). This will keep the hammer from buggering up the end of the threads making it difficult to remove the nut when attaching whatever the fastener is to anchor to the concrete.

    Also, if you want to nail in regular nails, drop a piece of wire in there, and pound the nail in right along side the wire, and it'll stay, like a nail in wood. If you want to remove the nail, especially if you're using a duplex nail, just use a nail remover or the claw on a hammer, and yank it out. Something I learned in carpentry at community college.

      Yeah, I happen to be based in an Asian country where I have yet to find compressed air, so I've been using a straw. You can expect to have your face covered in dust, and don't do it if you're allergy-prone.

      You can attach a straw / pipe to a 1m piece of plastic tubing (like they use for wine, fuel, hospitals, aquariums or whatever), then you don't get dust in the face when you blow a hole through that.
      Rather than a can of air, I'd use an air compressor or even a manual air pump.

    • @uberutuberologist
      @uberutuberologist 6 лет назад +1

      Use a straw! Just do not blow in it: grab your vacuum cleaner and hold the straw into the vacuum end and... tada! You'll be able to make a sufficient seal around the straw and the vacuum end to allow enough suction to clear out the hole. Happy (clean faced) drilling :)

    Thank you Leah. That info was just what I needed and the sleeve anchor worked like a charm. I liked the pep talk at the end too, "You can do it" was what I needed to hear after I put up a bracket for a client that ended up coming out when I only used the blue Tap-Con screws.

    Excellent explanation and demonstration.
    I'd like to share a little tip with others when they are using sleeve anchors - and ESPECIALLY expansion bolts in brick walls.
    If you are using 10 mm fixings, try to insert at least ONE of them in the MORTAR between the junction of 3 bricks.
    The fixing wedges incredibly tightly between the 3 bricks. It then gives a rock-solid start for the rest of the fixings - regardless of where in the wall they are inserted.

    @treesaann67 9 лет назад +7

    Umm, I hate to ask a stupid beginner's question but..... if you are tightening the nuts to make the bottom of the anchor flare out then how do you attach something to the anchor. Did you forget to mention that once the anchor is set you can remove the nut and washer and attach whatever you need to?

    • @boarhog1979
      @boarhog1979 9 лет назад

      +Theresa M you would put what you want to assemble with a hole in it then insert the anchor through the hole, and go for it

    • @boarhog1979

      yes i was wondering the same thing, expected to see a video demonstrating the installation of an anchor for a lag screw for example altho i ges at the beginning you didn't show that as one of your examples so i shuddint have been surprised. i already own too many tools and have no room but i ges i'm going to have to finally go out and get a hammer drill. absolutely great video, patient clear instructions, no ego. i will look for more of your stuff on RUclips.

    Wedge anchors look similar to Sleeve anchors but can only be used in solid concrete, not in other masonry materials such as brick or hollow block. Why? Do you have a video of a wedge anchor cut away failing in something other than concrete?

    • @nomadicfenceman509
      @nomadicfenceman509 8 лет назад +2

      Jules Bartow the wedge bolts strength relies entirely on its threads cutting into the concrete, so having as much thread contact as possible is best.
