One of my screws started bending when hammering. And on another one the threads messed up when I was hammering with the nut at the end of the screw. I wasn't even hammering that hard. Any tips?
Make sure that the nut is a thread or two down so that the hammer isn't accidentally contacting it. Also make the hole at least 1/4 to 1/2 inch longer than needed. Most of them say at least 1/2 inch longer.
I hammered my 1st two like you did with nuts on and it ruined them. Next 2 I left nuts off and they were fine. I'm going to have to find a way to cut all 4 off at cement and start over in a new location. Wish I didn't watch your video, it caused me a lot of work and will cause a lot more.
Thanks. In video it looks like he didn't put the nut on far enough.... as if hammering would be causing the nut to damage the threads. They add that extra metal above the threads to protect them so it's hard to picture what happened in your case.
Way to show someone how to mess up an anchor. If you run the nut down further and use the hammer drills hammer feature it will work correctly and save you the aggravation of having a useless anchor. This video shows you how gall and bind up a nut though.
Not a word spoken, but still one of the best videos I've seen on this. Thanks!
Good video. Please also make videos for installation of sleeve anchors.

Well trying to figure out why mine just spins around in the hole I used the size bit it recommended on packaging 😢
in a perfect world....
Are you hitting the nut? I did it this way and the nut seized to the bolt and wouldnt spin. Im going to grind the whole thing off.

did you use a metal head hammer or a rubber head hammer?

Technical videos set to music are stupid.
So is your face
People who cannot turn volume down to 0 are stupid.
