I've usually seen it recommended that you don't brush the dust across the drilled pilot hole (so you don't get more dust in the hole than already is)...and you use compressed air or a vacuum cleaner to remove as much dust from the hole as possible. (The idea, I believe, is that the concrete dust remaining in the hole will get compacted downwards, into the hole, when diving the tapcon screw. This will prevent driving the screw as far as is wanted, and can lead to over-torquing, and stripping the impressed thread (the thread cut by the screw, into the concrete, when driving it.)
Roy yep well put. But how many installers are going to use compressed air to clean the hole? None How many are going to get a brush to move the dust away form the hole? None I have watched installers time and time again never cleaning a hole for a tapcon or wedge anchor. They just drill the hole deeper and why? Because they can get the job done faster. This is just practical installation. But your theory is spot on and thanks for your comment and checking my vid out.
With screws, it`s ok not to vac. The dust just goes into the grooves. But anything flat, yes. But he is right. Contractors are not going to take dust out.
@@AlbanyCountyFasteners This is not the answer I expected from a company that specializes in fasteners. Just because installers don't generally follow a good practice doesn't mean it shouldn't be done for best results. Loose dust at the bottom of the whole or in the threads of the screw can't be a good thing -- not if you want maximum holding power. Recommend the best practices and let the installers decide what to do. Also would increase any liability claims you might receive for poor instruction.
Thanks for the demonstration and training. Since this is for the benefit of inexperienced users, I recommend you set a good example with better drill control technique and set to lower speed when using the driver bits. Otherwise benefitial to many viewers.
can you insert tapcon screws into concrete at a slight angle? I know that optimally you would want to drive them straight in but I have a situation where I am unable to drive them in straight?
After removing the screws, the threads that was created in the hole seems crossed and the screws cannot be used again in the hole. The hole and the screw diameter is now the same size.
We generally don't advise removing concrete masonry screws from their application for that exact reason. Even if you got the screws back into the hole, it wouldn't have nearly the same holding power it had on first installation. If the threading in the hole is too messed up to get the tapcons back in, you can either drill a slightly larger hole to fit a larger tapcon over the previous hole or use some other kind of masonry anchor, but that will depend on your application.
I noticed you had a hard time drilling the first hole. I have the same problem. I use a Ryobi hammer drill and I've damaged 6 concrete drill bits already. It just won't drill the concrete.
You better use drill with hammer mode, but it only useful with low grade concrete. If it is high grade concrete - only rotary hammer will help. Also helps using Bosch blue all material drills. They go quite good into low grade concrete. Do not overheat the bit. Or you can use diamond bit for porcelain. It will work.
Two reasons this can happen. 1) The hole diameter is incorrect (3/16" screw requires 5/32" hole, 1/4" requires 3/16" hole) 2) You did not drill deep enough and your screw tip hit the concrete and as you keep driving the screw heats up and snaps.
Thank you for your informative video! I am installing a folding shelf bracket, it's a very sturdy bracket. However, I am planning on screwing the brackets to a cinder block wall. What kind of Tapcon screw and size do you recommend I use. If you have any other information for this process, I would be very grateful to hear it.
I always have trouble screwing the screws all the way in, I end up stripping the Phillips screws. I think I drilled in far enough. But I don’t use tape
If you mark your drill bit depth with tape, don’t wrap it tight, leave a flag so when rotating it will keep hole area clean. And the two screws were not hex head and Philips head! It was hex head and flat head.
Is it advisable to dip the tapcon screw in oil or vaseline prior to driving into the concrete? I am replacing screws on bird cage in Florida that generally rust and need to be replaced every 5 years or so?
Only thing Home Depot had. Expect to put a toothpick in every hole. Expect to use 3x the screws you need as they are phillips and will strip on you almost every hole. Most frustrating product I've used in years.
yup imo wedge anchors are the best way to go when strength really matters.......for lightweight handyman type stuff regular sheet rock screws along with a piece of coated stranded copper wire works good enough imo except if water/potential rusting might be involved & I think stainless screws are still cheaper then these things.
It is not recommended to re use the same hole because the concrete screws will actually thread the masonry material that they are being installed into. This can compromise the holding power of the screws.
No. The new concrete will be unstable; it won't bond properly to the existing concrete and will crumble and flake. If you want to remove a concrete screw and install a new one in the same hole, you would be better off redrilling the hole and installing a larger screw.
How much weight can 4 of those screw hold? I have to install a 12lbs projector into a concrete ceiling, and I need to know if those tapcons would be enough, or I’ll need some others expending concrete screws?
Hi Pablo, Thanks for your question! These screws should be enough to hold your 12 pound projector into concrete. There are several factors involved to ensure success. You need to consider, screw length and diameter and the thickness of the material you are going to be anchoring the projector into. Since we do not have this information, we cannot make a recommendation but do recommend that you choose a screw with a decent length to ensure a good hold once installed.
A 3/16" tapcon sunk at 1" has a 650 lb. pullout rating and a 720 lb shear weight. A 1/4" tapcon sunk at 1" has a 800 lb. pullout rating and a 1,360 lb. shear weight. Your 4 screws should be plenty....if you sank them correctly.
What is the specific application you are referring to? We don't have enough information to advise you with and your question is difficult to answer in a general sense.
@@AlbanyCountyFasteners Thanks for the quick reply. The wall is in a lower level below grade, and I want to hang cabinets in my workroom. There have never been any moisture issues in the basement and the wall is about 15 years old. I know that you should try to put the screws in the solid part of the cinder block but is there a problem if you penetrate the inner cavity of the block? If you do penetrate into the middle of the block should you put some kind of sealant in the hole? I don't expect any problems but I have never used Tapcon screws before. Thanks again.
From the way you described your application, you shouldn't have a problem as long as you don't go more than 2-1/2" into the block. Any more runs the risk of penetrating the barrier that's keeping the moisture out of your basement. As long as you keep this in mind, you shouldn't need sealant to supplement your tapcons. Of course, if you want to play it safe, you can still use the sealant just to be sure.
I’m using 2"x1/4" Tapcons in 3/16 holes 1/2" deeper than the screws in my poured foundation walls but they aren’t holding, it seems like the concrete is soft. I don’t know... I’m putting on electrical boxes and it’s not good. I’m putting 4 screws in each single gang box and they still don’t hold. And I’m not over tightening them causing them to strip the hole and threads out, sometimes I can’t even get the screws to tighten before they ream the hole out. It sucks. BTW- I call the bigger drill a rotary hammer drill as opposed to a standard hammer drill that makes more noise but is much slower. When you used the standard cement bit I don’t think you used a standard hammer drill.
@@offgridmangogrower No I don’t know why they weren’t working for me, I talked to my best friend electrician friend about it and he said he runs into the same problem sometimes and to just use plastic screw anchors then which I did and it was all good then.
@@df56gh4d5h , if there is a hole in the bottom then the manufacturer probably has a recommendation that you should follow. However, if you are drilling the hole yourself you're better off using the thicker diameter with a washer just to be on the safe side.
It took awhile to get that when you said "standard" bit you meant standard with the Tapcon kit. To me a standard bit is a high speed bit. What you were using is a concrete bit.
Excellent demonstration but I think there is a diameter of conicity to be taken in consideration when spacing screws from the edge of a concrete slab and between two tapcon screws. There is a very scientific calculation for it but a generic calculation is to multiply de diameter of the screw by 16. That number is approximately the diameter of conicity that will be formed by the tension created by and anchor incrusted in concrete. You should space a tapcon half of that distance from an edge of a concrete slab and between 2 tapcons in a row center to center you should use that diameter of conicity to space 2 tapcons. This is a way to play safe when installing through concrete an anchoring fastener. Martín Ibn-Rubain Structural Steel Detailer

You need a hammer drill for that! A standard drill only really works with drilling tapcon style screws in concrete since they are designed to be driven without a pre-drilled hole. Kind of like sheet metal or wood screws.
Masonry screws should work just fine for block paving. Just be careful if you are going to use a screw with a countersunk head, such as flat head masonry screws. If you drive those all the way in, without creating a countersunk in the drilled hole, you could crack the block.
in real life at work these are always breaking . they need to use a better steel or heat treatment. i stopped using them. hopefully they read this from enough of us and fix the problem.
Test is inaccurate due to using a battery driven drill against a corded drill. All parameters must be equal in a test. Very credible product tho' especially with multiple head choices and obviously the thread system to reduce heat/breakage
It’s hardly a science test is it? Not as though we are testing quantum mechanics is it? You get the idea, right? Use that thing between your ears and think to yourself?
Yes! This is a cordless dewalt hammer drill. We also uploaded a review of the dewalt hammer drill and standard drill. Check out the video on our channel.
Albany County Fasteners ok I gotcha, well my mistake then! but I'm glad the cordless dewalt that I have with the hammer function drills a lot better then that one no matter how cheap or expensive of a masonry bit I have in it.
colt beaver, the guy in the video is clueless. That speed test between the two drills made no sense because the so-called '' instructor '' using his cordless in drill mode let the bit flighting fill with concrete dust. He then began to wiggle and push sideways in an attempt to make progress. He doesn't seem to know there is a difference between a bit and a drill. Wonder how long he's been in business?
