    I used one of these on a garden gate where the screw kept getting pulled out of the sandy cement wall. It was totally overkill for the job but it worked a treat and the gate bracket is still 100% solid 7 years later.

      Been Looking for this for over a year! Now, how do we deal with a cinder block exterior wall with a plaster board lining it’s interior? It covers 2 walls of our smaller size bedroom and my son’s small bedroom. Need to hang heavy duty floating shelves for books and also, heavy paint cans! lol (I don’t like them outside because the constant cold temps and then super high summer temps tends to ruin them! 😂

    Great tip about installing the bolts in the anchors onto the thing to be mounted and then inserting them into the drilled holes! I tried it by installing the anchors in the wall and then screwing the bolts in, but one of the bolts wouldn't grip and then it was a nightmare trying to get the anchor out of the wall again. All done thanks to this great video, thanks!

    Just wanted to thank you for your video. This was what pointed me in the right direction. Where I live, most of my walls are ultra dense, reinforced concrete - kinda stuff used in UK high rises in the 60's.
    Anyways, I weight 130kgs and so bought a hefty pull up bar which is wall mounted with four M10 rawlbolts now. Never felt anything so solid.
    I then decided to get gymnastic rings and so SDS drilled into the ceiling, which is also this god-like super concrete (took ages) - installed M10 eyehook bolts and hung 200kg load carabiners and gym rings (straps and gym rings can hold 450kg each).
    I still was a bit concerned. Until I set one gym ring about 5 inches off the ground and put all my weight on it....for for 10 seconds I swung gently back and forth...all 130kgs of me. On ONE BOLT! Called RawlPlug UK to see if this was OK and Adrian laughed and said I could have 3 of me on one, and the carabiner and gym rings would give out before this single rawlbolt.
    If it wasn't for your video I would have never been able to get myself the gear I need to get in shape at home.
    So a huge thank you. I have subbed. :)

  • @ipod1978
    @ipod1978 6 лет назад +48

    Good video pal. For anyone looking to use these with only a standard masonry bit/hammer drill you can get away with using a bicycle pump and a needle tip (like you would use to pump up a football) to blow out the excess debris and dust. Messy but it certainly clears the cavity enough to allow a solid install.

    Do you use a drill bit that is 1mm larger than the bolt/anchor? I drilled using 12mm drill bit on the wall, and went in out a few times. But the 12mm bolt/anchor can't seem to go in. I abandoned it now as I did not want it stuck halfway and I have to use pliers to get it out or have to hammer it in.

    Hi Andy, I have to agree with other comments made, I use concrete or “Lightning bolts” these days. I once tried to hang a heavy duty tv/satellite bracket on a new extension wall using rawl bolts. I drilled into the centre of the brick to find the bricks had frogs in them, the rawl bolts would not anchor and kept spinning. Ended up having to use chemical anchors instead after drilling many holes..... Rawl bolts are ok for drilling into concrete and dense concrete block, personally I wouldn’t use them on brickwork unless I was confident the bricks were solid. Thought I would share my experience, hope it helps!
