You had me when I saw you holding that beer lol. Great video. I was thinking of hiring someone but after watching your video will try it myself. Wish me luck.
You need a percussion or a hammer drill to drill into concrete,/masonry. You only need one bit, the size your anchor call for. It a masonry bit with a carbite tip. You drill in a little then pull out so powder can escape hole. It takes about 5 seconds to drill a 3/8" hole in concrete with a hammer drill, and the hole will be perfect for the anchor fit. Drilling without a hammer drill is gonna leave a wallowed out hole that is not perfect fit for anchor.
I wonder if my drill is a hammer drill.. Urgh, I know nothing about this stuff and my uncle has done nothing but put unnecessary holes in my walls while trying to put things up in my apartment.
This installation might’ve seemed “stupid” to you, but this just adds useful tips and understanding not only to your pocket, but to the pockets of those who are clueless on how to mount a TV as well. Thank you for making this helpful tutorial ! Peace !
I have never mounted a TV and I have always hired someone to do it for my moving business. Am learning how to mount so that I can do it on my own and stop hiring people. Thanks for the video Sir.
Currently trying to mount 41 TVs at an Amazon facility with a hammer drill and masonry bits and it’s has been a pain in the ass. Going to Home Depot now to try your method! Not sure if this concrete is different from your home this shit is at least 12 inches thick.
easy peasy install for you...ranking up your skills! looks great and i honestly think you did everything by the book. now time for you to enjoy that nice 75"!
Forget the TV, how much does your house cost???? And where exactly are you? You got an indoor pool and a fountain (jacuzzi? hot tub? Hot tub Time Machine?) and you got your bedroom overlooking all of these AND you look like Zach Galifranikas (Whatever! Can't spell!) all while doing this! What job are you doing and how did you manage to buy such a sweet pad like this????😵💫😵
Thank you for the great video. I was looking at doing this. I wonder the cables how did you get the longer extended power cable for your TV? also how did you make it so clean?
There is a raceway on the bottom of the tv . Im pretty sure he ran an extension cord up to the back of the Tv . If it was me I would have put a junction box on the other side of the wall and install a receptacle behind the tv
Impact drills make quick work of concrete... Good tip about the level btw... There's sweet f@#k all length on that 1" pos to give an accurate averaged out reading.
Im about to put one up on my patio.. Thinking of using a 2x6 and tapcons before mounting the bracket on the wall. With the tv I have its a pain to get the hdmi to get plugged in the back when its super flush with a wall.

I was just about to pay someone 60 bucks cause I tried and tried with no success. Then I ran across this 😏 THANK YOU MATE!
That's not a concrete wall, it's a concrete block wall. Disappointing that he couldn't do the whole installation holding a beer in one hand.
Lol! Both are very valid points!!! Cheers!
Anyone else heard the beer bottle dropping and breaking at 2:58 ?
Same sound during the opening of video
Yes I heard it! Lol

Hello. Just came through your video. Which tv mount did u buy?
I woulda probably scrapped my crapcrete wall going straight for the main bit. The gradual drilling is a great idea.
I have never mounted a TV and I have always hired someone to do it for my moving business. Am learning how to mount so that I can do it on my own and stop hiring people. Thanks for the video Sir.
Cheers!
I clicked on it cause saw u had a beer and I will probably have a beer when doing it 🤣
Cheers!!!
Good tips man, I like the progressive drills idea. I am dealing with 24" on retaining concrete wall in the basement.
Cheers!
Works much easier with hammer drill

I throw epoxy glue in there too.
With that weight the anchors you used are okay but I would recommend 1/2 concrete anchors and lag bolts only difference - AV Tech
Tapcons are also good
Drink Hennessy instead…lol Good 👍🏽 Job!!
Buy a better drill and you won’t need to use 4 drill bits.
Nice job. About to do the same and this is a great approach. Really appreciate it! 🙏
The video was great but when you said have yourself a beer did you drop the drink instantly or what was that loud cracking sound?
TV look great. If u did it right or wrong its your house enjoy it. 💯💯💯💯💯

sipping on a beer out back as we speak! cheers good sir!
beautiful home bro! i moved to a new home and the whole first floor is cinder block. I'm gonna try this method

I'd have done it the same way.. not bad at all Brother
Man!!!! that was great and very helpful
What kind of anchors and size screws?
The TV bracket should come with the anchors and screws. At least most do.

Definitely a Florida home
That looks awesome, wouldn’t call any home project stupid
does that dewalt come with hammer drill ?
nope, its just a regular drill. Cheers!
THANK YOU for the video. It was very helpful. You gave me a lot ideas of how to drill on the concrete.
Impact drills make quick work of concrete... Good tip about the level btw... There's sweet f@#k all length on that 1" pos to give an accurate averaged out reading.
Thanks bro 🙏
What’s the standard drill bit you use on all tv brackets?
I like that, thanks for sharing.
What if I don't have a drill bro
You won’t be able to mount without a drill . I recommend investing on a hammer drill
Use your fists bro
How do you know where each concrete block ends so as to avoid drilling into the seams?
I didn't and it largely does not matter. the seems might be a bit "weaker" but its still enough to hold a TV in my opinion. Cheers!
Im about to put one up on my patio.. Thinking of using a 2x6 and tapcons before mounting the bracket on the wall. With the tv I have its a pain to get the hdmi to get plugged in the back when its super flush with a wall.
Maybe a short HDMI extension plugged in before fixing to the wall, and then you have a tail to easily plug and unplug components?
beer and power tools is a bad combo....
You know a Mexican helped his ass on putting the actual tv on 🤣 that’s why he skipped that part lol
Is that an impact driver or just a regular driver?
Just a regular drill. The key is fresh drill bits. Cheers!
By looking at his drill bits you can see the hexagon shape so it is an impact driver not a regular drill.

Once I seen the beer I knew. My man. Thx mate
Great job and have a beer on me. Beautiful home🔥🔥🔥
nice approach.
ok
Nice place , good job
Hammer Drill
A drill with hammer features works best
Agree!
I wouldn’t use the wallplugs that come with the tv get some wall bolts next time and use hammer mode on the drill
It’s not a hammer drill? No wonder it destroys the bits
Man Thank You
Cheers!
