A hammer drill makes a hole in concrete a hell of a lot faster than a
regular drill. You still use a masonary bit, but it cuts through most
masonary pretty smoothly.
Lenny explained the Tapcon screws, they look essentially like a regular
screw, but with those double threads. They do come

I do believe that they do come in different sizes. Looking at one I am not
sure how it works. It has two different thread patterns. They have a

thread with a fine thread inside the coarse threads.. They are quite
interesting.

Lenny,
Thanks for this, I'll have to check one out at the store. I'm assuming they
come in different sizes and lengths?

The only way I see that happening is if you used an air palm nailer. Even then,
there is no guarantee it would work.

Looking @ Ryobi and/or craftsman auto hammers. Since I've
never seen (except on line) or used one of these , I'm
wondering if they are capable of driving masonry nails
through a 2 by 4 and then into a concrete
driven nailer.
Good luck with your project:
