@skillstacking you hit a concrete or masonry wall. Use tapcon or whatever concrete screw that have sheer force to withstand 300lbs of force. Our code inspectors would not allow that install
I won’t install hand rails unless I know I can grab a stud or a horizontal 2X4-2X6 mounted beforehand during rough-in for bracing. Especially for commercial use, I just can’t trust them plastic anchors for support. Really cool tile drill bit though. Need to check those out
Tile bit is a must. And I understand, but this was a prewar building where the walls are block, mortar, 300 layers of paint and tile so I used the plastic anchors. Some are commenting that there is better anchors but I don’t know of any.
@@skillstacking makes sense now that you say that. I’ve used some small winged toggle nuts or the winged anchors before. On this, I think I personally would’ve drilled far enough to used some long concrete screws to mount it. The job came out good regardless bro
You know I never thought about concrete screws till I posted this short. Someone else recommended it. For sure going to give it a try next time I use it. Thanks for the comment friend 👊🏼❤️
@skillstacking keep the speed down and no hammering I get a probably a 12+ bars out of one bit. I use 5/16 and clean out the hole with the provided bit from the triple grips
I thought about maybe putting epoxy with the screws. I put silicone on the one i put in the show to stop the water from getting to the holes. What glue do you recommend?
@@skillstackingim not sure if that's going to hold it looks like you anchored the screws against the tile and not into the wood im assuming this is for someone very old or disabled they'll likely use the bar with alot of there weight if there weight exceeds the strength of the tile and mortar you or your company maybe on the line of a possible lawsuit for improper installment of a safety bar leading to injury or death of someone disabled or elderly. Its just a thought but maybe try that same installment somewhere else where you can have a chair by it and only using your arm not your legs to stand up using the safety bar just to check if it does hold
I see what you are saying. Been doing it like this in block walls for a long time and never had a problem. That being said if this was new construction, adding wood is always key. Thanks for the comment and thoughts 👊🏼❤️
Saying you go for the diamond bit- and then giving a reason based on the type of drill you are using does not make any sense. No mater what bit you use in a hammer drill it could cause damage to the tile. Hammer should not be in the name of the drill you use for tile lol
Good job on not damaging the tiles but that grab bar won't hold the weight of the person using it.
Needs to hold 300lbs
What do you recommend? It’s an old building, prewar, where the walls are block, no wood In the wall.

@@johnsparrow9549 I appreciate this. It never crossed my mind to use tapcons. Thank you. 🙏🏼❤️👊🏼
SET-XP or some typeof epoxy
Nice job. I have that Milwaukee mini hole saw, its great for tile.
It’s a must have if you ask me.

Spraying water helps reduce cracking as well
I didn’t have one but I did have a cup of water where I will dip it every 10 seconds or so. Thanks for the tip 😘👊🏼
Get someblue bosch glass bits , they work really well for this. I save the dimond bits for the hard stuff
I never had good luck with those bits. I’ll look into giving them another shot. 👊🏼

Thanks for the tip. I’ll look into getting them next time I find myself at Lowe’s. ❤️👊🏼
There are better anchor choices
What do you recommend? I normally use the blue ones, I don’t even think they have a brand and that’s the reason I started staying away from them.
You should put some glue on them anchors and put silicone on the back side of the bracket

diamond drill bits are only really necessary to drill into porcelain.
True, but I like using and having one bit instead of having three for different stones. 👊🏼
Obviously, you don't want to use a hammer so close to your tile.
Haha yea I messed up. Need to invest in a mallet. 😂
Homie you go to the ends of the earth to not crack the tile while drilling and then use a Hammer instead of a $3 mallet to push in the anchors?! 😅
🤣🤣🤣 when you right, you right. I don’t even own one. I’ll get one on my next trip to Home Depot. ❤️👊🏼

Rubber mallet instead of a hammer
Yea someone mentioned that to me haha

Haha i first used an impacted and only used the hammer drill when I passed the tile.
How about next time you use the hammer to break the tile, then you dont have to worry about breaking it.😂🎉 Jk
🤣 yea I need to invest in a mallet. 🤷🏻♂️😂
