Excellent fastener, as long as you use their properly sized drill bit.

I use a bead of Liquid Nails on the bottom of the soleplate and than nail it

I've used power charges many times and that's fairly typical anchoring steel to

Yup did some pounding of my own on some of the nails. As long as

Don't let it bounce or try not to. Also hit it hard with a nice big
framing hammer or small two pound hand sledge, if you have the hammer

I did a lot of work with 3 screws also. Makes it easier to take
