Can you show how to remove the anchors?

[@AlbanyCountyFasteners]

Concrete anchors are not designed to be removed. This makes them more secure because they are actually anchored into the concrete, which means they can't be removed without heavily damaging the anchor or concrete. You can use a sawzall or similar tool to remove the tops of wedge or sleeve anchors.

[@JoseSanchez-ld8jd]

at 5:30 when you say "Fastened" was my favorite part just classic

[@tommymccrasher]

Hello, Drop-In vs Sleeve anchor, which is better for hanging on slab? Thank you.

[@philippetts1701]

@@AlbanyCountyFasteners hi, how about realigning wedge anchors if they're off center? or do i need to resign myself to oversizing the hole in the base plate?

Thank you for taking the time to be detailed and descriptive. Some folks like me, have utterly no knowledge on these topics. Your video being so detail oriented, is what I consider a helpful tool in of it’s self. Please continue to be as detailed and descriptive as possible. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

[@JLwing2010]

I think I've used every one of these anchors incorrectly in the past. Very effective, simple presentation to clarify how to install (use a hammer!). Thanks!

[@pamina04]

I was all set to fix my porch stairs (some of which are rotting) when I noticed one rotten piece was attached to a concrete wall. My first thought was "Darn it! Now I have to hire someone!".
This video is exactly what I needed to see.
Thank you so much!!!

[@jamiegoodman2995]

What I needed. Concise, great fotos. Non egocentric. Excellent teacher

[@NwordOutward]

I live in Mexico and most if not all homes are made of brick and concrete as oppose to wood like in America. I actually used to work in masonry and have seen a co worker use these to make a shelf for huge, heavy stoves. Unfortunately I didn´t get to see how he installed them so I appreciate your vid.

[@TheSoftspokenShaman]

Always good to brush up on the different applications for masonry fasteners and anchors

[@nadronnocojr]

This should be in our schools , as we took home Ed ,, this is standard living information, thank you for this

[@AlbanyCountyFasteners]

You're welcome! Thank you for your feedback.

[@jasonbalmaceda6579]

Imagine a country where every child learned basic carpentry skills. I wonder how many “off the grid” homes there would be .

[@GalaxyGoose6]

I somewhat agree somewhat disagree. The only problem with doing that is that there would be no need for general handymen and even more skilled masons and carpenters and what not. This means that by doing that we could be trimming down on many men and womens livelyhoods which could be worse. But at the same time if you want to know or learn this kind of thing the opportunities are most often available to you.

[@hectorportillo1906]

They took stuff like this from our schools to make us and our kids more dependant on always using money to solve every problem. Paying someone instead of doing it yourself will create more money for the 1%ers.

[@Rob555ism]

Superb... well done. I love how slowly you speak. Nice calm presentation without the drama and bad music. Thanks.

[@AlbanyCountyFasteners]

You're welcome! Thank you for your feedback.

[@marlenelemes8878]

Great video - -BUT !!! - -no word on the most important part !!!!!!!! - - -how deep do you drill, you have to take into account the thickness of what you are fastening, as well as length of the dyna bolt (expanding bolt)) TO MAKE SURE WHEN YOU FASTEN EVERYTHING IS FLUSH !!!!!!
MOST IMPORTANT THING LEFT OUT !!!!!

[@jaystuckey4920]

You helped me a lot. I assembled an Arrow 10 x 10 shed. I ordered an anchoring Kit for it.
The directions just say to "install the anchoring bolt" that is it. So I would have made a mistake-or-4 installing the anchoring bolt with no knowledge of how it works.
Thank you for being here.

OMG, a straight-forward instruction video without any influencer bullshit.

[@tbc_2024]

[@dreamingcode]

Really helpful! Would have been nice to know what size bit you used for each anchor though. They really should teach this in schools.

[@exon5336]

I'm legit sitting at work watching this because I have to anchor something tonight thanks my dude

[@s.meredithjohnson3333]

Video on fasteners was very easy to follow with an explanation of product and use. I have used stainless steel screws and washers for my screen enclosure in Florida and I am extremely happy with their performance and appearance after three years. The washers were recommended by Albany because of use and dissimilar metals which can cause some corrosion. So far no corrosion has occurred and I am extremely happy with their performance and their cost.

[@johnreskusich2324]

What a great video. Starting from almost no knowledge about this sort of securing mechanism to feeling very comfortable. Great demonstration and it moves me forward in designing a project. Much appreciated.

This was a very helpful vidoe demo. I went and bought the second bolt anchor. I poured square footings to support a trellis archway. I'm using an L bracket to bolt the 2x4 against so it needs to be secured in the concrete. I just put them in before it was solid cured. Once it's completely dried I'll tighten up the bolts.
