- Have you ever wondered how to attach REALLY heavy things to walls? Things like giant heavy radiators, huge TVs and the like? How do the pros attach safety railings to walls to ensure they won't fall down? Welcome to the world of WALL BOLTS! Wall bolts also get known was Shield Anchors, Rawlbolts and probably various other names. They're designed for attaching VERY heavy things to solid walls such as brick, concrete, stone and blockwork. You can also use them to attach heavy things to concrete floors and ceilings. In this video I'll give you a few tips of how to use them - welcome back to the Gosforth Handyman Tips Library!

Would you recommend using those in the mortar/cement between bricks/concrete blocks? Thnks
you deserve it sir!
This is by far the most useful video on expansion bolts. I'm super glad I came across this, after having watched countless people merely screwing the thing into concrete and calling it a day.
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.
"that isn't going anywhere" - universal man saying across the world
I was thinking the same when he says "beefy hole" 2:47
That's so accurate
fixing anything to anywhere, a man cannot finish the job without saying this: THIS ISN'T GOING ANYWHERE. love it :)
Hahah so true . We say that all the times after doing any fixing work. I guess it's a universal thing
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! 😂
Hope you eventually found your answer
Great video. Quality explanation, quality filming and editing - none of that’s easy, but you made it look easy. Thanks!
I just saved me much grief with the tip on how to remove a wedge anchor. It worked easily.
Best video I could find on how to use expansion bolts.
Thanks you explained all the aspects of this not just putting it in the concrete.
This has been so helpful, thank you
I hope to be using these exact bolts to wall mount a display cabinet to an exterior wall in a small bedroom. Never used such a thing before but you make it look so easy, thanks!
Thanks Andy for such a clear and comprehensive video. I had a few queries as to how to use these anchors and it has answered them all.
Thank you for this video, without it my husband would have made a couple of mistakes. Very informative.
Absolutely great stuff my friend. Thank You for your time and great demonstration!
Andy,great video, you are so easy to watch and listen to. Your my friend in the diy world, thanks,brian
What an excellent video. I've been struggling trying to get mine to expand and I think I'll need to use a bit of resin to help but at least I finally understand how they work. Cheers!
Thanks for your time to demonstrate this all process in a fantastic way. #Most complete video of rawl bolts.
I use these for hanging the swing for our kid. It even supports my full grown weight. Awesome fixings.
I can't believe u drilled ur garage floor just for a demo....fair play! Great video 👍
Great video. About to fix a gun safe to a solid wall and never used these fixings before. Very helpful!
Like how you explain all features and leave no questions, solid vid
This exactly what I needed to know, big thanks for the video
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!
Best video I have seen how to attach these. Clear and concise. A pearl between the rubbish out there. Keep making these video's. Thank you from Holland
Awesome bro... I should have watched this video before i messed up an anchor bolt...
Excellent thank you. Fitting is much as I thought but I want to get it right. Great straightforward video. First time I’ve seen your channel 👍🏻
Very useful guide pal, Thank you for the review
Got four of the eyelet kind of these to fit today so this is the advice i was lookin for. Good video, subscribed and liked👍
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. :)
Another great video to start the long weekend, nice to see the depth stop being used, better than guessing!
Best explanation of anchor bolts on here! Thank you
You're the best, these came with a wall mounted punching bag that I got, wasn't sure how they worked and how to install them. Thank you for this video
Can you install it onto wood?
Thank you 😎😎🙏🔥Very Simple.. Straight forward and instructive video!
Great demo, just what I was looking for. Much obliged
Thanks dude. That was EXACTLY the video I was hoping to find. You have a new sub 👍
I am spending my evening watching a video of a bloke balancing his entire body weight on the top of a bolt...and finding it weirdly enjoyable. Great videos
I guess u r fucked up man
Nice video! Answered my questions about using these to hang a TV wall mount. Nice to see Geordies on RUclips too.
Mate, I've got no interest in DIY/joinery at all but these videos are mint. They're so relaxing. I've seen you dismantle two hotels, renovate two houses, inspect a couple of new builds and now demonstrate some mad claw anchor bolt things. Awesome.
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.

I sometimes use a can of compressed air (the kind used to blow dust off electronic circuit boards).Works great!!!
Thanks so much for that recommendation. I'll defo give it a go.
Amazing presentation and explanations sir! subscribed!
Excellent video on how to use Wall Bolt with details. It makes my life easy now to use Wall Bolt.
The design makes this AC a possible alternative to ductless DYI systems. It works great. The remote control could be more visual aid oriented like a backligh design. Is impossible to see the lcd at least for me. Easy install ruclips.net/user/postUgkx_hHgTlzH3uk31Fe2RVS3xEbXHGaN_z5Tation. Came on time . Great comfort around the house 5 🌟 again. Follow mfg instructions for care and all and this should be the only AC you need for those of is that don't live in new homes with central AC
Fantastic video thank you! Going to use these to support a pullup bar running between two walls and wasn't happy with the frame fixings I'd bought being man enough for the job. These look just the job.
Wonderful video! Finally understand how these work. Trying to add a couple of new ceiling ikea light fixtures and I got a similar wall expansion hook bolt.
Thanks,great tip! Saved my sun screen fitting!
This was informative my friend,👌👌👌🇬🇧
Thanks for posting this! Very informative for a noob like me. Thank you very much again.
I’ve got a depth gauge on my drill but this may sound silly but I never had a clue what it was used for till I saw this video..lol 😂you learn something new every day.
thank you Mr. Gosforth!
Thanks for the video. I was going to fix something similar to install a heavy geyser and this video was very helpful.
great channel.one of the best with minimal fluff...Crucial to hoover out the hole.. I normally insert with bolt fully home otherwise there is a possibility of pushing the wedge out when tapping in...
You helped me tremendously understand what i have to do. Will attempt tommorrow
I was waiting for the test where you test how much force is required to pull up a section of your garage floor :-)
Excellent and patient presentation. I have learnt a lot.
Best video yet...Thank you!
Thank you for the notes on how to pull these out. I have a few installed and I was worried on what to do in case I wish to take them out in the future.
Fantastic video mate,this has helped on a project I'm on at the moment...👍👍👍
Glad to see that you could remove it from the floor at the end of your demo!
Thanks for this, very informative video. I just bought these and was wondering how they work. Came here and now I know what I need to do. Thanks so much! Great work.
great info for dummies like me. Thank you!
Thank you for this valuable lesson. Good job. 👍
Excellent demo .well done.
8 x 12mm dynabolts hold the bookshelf with my wife’s craft books to the study wall 👍
this is just gold ....thanks for the in depth tutorial. hanged it on my wall for wall mounted pull up bar. now i have to pull it out again and shift it another place... this informative vid' helps putting it in and pulling it out ;) XD
That is what I will be using it for
Is your pull-up bar holding up. Mine fell of the wall in 10 days after installation.
@@helios3309 Seriously?
Great demo !!
I used these 30 years ago to secure metal post supports to the top of a concrete wall, they’re as solid today as the day they were fitted.
Thanks for giving precious information sir 💗
Awesome tutorial. Thanks for sharing.
Thank u so much for those useful tips
Thanks! Know jack about this stuff and this helps me a lot!
Great guide, these wall bolts are impressively strong. Don't make the mistake I've done once when I've fixed these to plaster wall and overtightened them. Whole wall on the other side was cracked XD
Thanks for this. I'm not afraid of wallbolts now!
Amazing ! This is really helpful
This is what im looking for. Amazing, big thanks. Got 2 heavy TVs to hang and my DIY skills are crap. 💪
Very good demo. Thanks
Thankyou sir
I was fitting my pull up bars in wall and I only knew about plastic anchors
These metal anchors came with the setup and i did not know how to use it.
👍🏼
Another useful video, well done, thanks.
Now a video in real time of you putting one back together when it comes apart. I bought 20 yesterday and 4 of them fell apart. Unfortunately I needed to use 18 and Screwfix had now closed. I spent more time putting two back together than I did fitting the rest of the shelves!
amazing video, thank you for the precise explanation.
I found this video very helpful!
You know what that means!
+1 Like from my side.
That's a kind of demonstration that i want...thanks
Great instructional video.
Really great video.. You've done a great job
Followed this step by step when I hung my heavy punch bag! Went to B&Q bought all the wall bolts and very similar drill everything went great. Thank you for this video mate!! 🙏🏼 👍🏻👍🏻
I'm actually watching to hang my bag
@@chiefnkosi7705 Check the wall your using will be able to take the weight first mate. I hung mine from the wall inside the garage [normal house brick] and after a month the mortar between the bricks started to crack from the heavy weight and me punching fuck out of the bag!! Think I’m going to have to go with a free standing bracket now.. 😢😢
@@BigTastey my wall is made up of concrete blocks which filled with cement and the wall is plastered up with more cement so I can't see where mortars are. How can I check this?
This is great. I needed to find out how to install my pull-up bar into a concrete wall and it uses these exact bolts. Super helpful! Now to buy a SDS drill. 😂
Thanks buddy. I had a few of these wall bolts in the tool box and not knowing what they were for or how to use them untill now.
Useful video 👍👍👍👍
Excellent video!
Great tutorial!
Thanks for the tutorial..
I've subscribed to your channel - nice work
Very well explained. Good.
Great video , thanks.
Good interview
Fantastic explanation
That's so helpful!
Loved it.
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!
Very good video , all the Best
Don't know why I'm watching this as I'm not doing any work that requires them, but I definitely appreciate a well-produced video with lots of good information. It's obvious you have a lot of experience!
