If you are working with a finished wall, be sure that whatever you are using
goes past the finish and into the structure. In my at-work office, a
bookcase was mounted onto a finished block wall with the expanding lead

I had a whole wall of shelves come down on me with the self tapping anchor
screws. The hole gets enlarged as the drill point wears, and in old concrete
the holes are crumbling on the surfaces.
Best anchor is lag bolts and expansion shield inserts. The expansion shields
are about 3/4" long. I have

The Blue screws are really great for floors where the wieght is minimal.

getting them out. Last summer I put stairs to water behind the house. Our waterfront is

It seems that all electric hand-drills now come with at least Hammer, Reverse, and

Sometimes overlooked is that, if you use tungsten carbide tipped lathe tools, you have
a green wheel for
sharpening them. Giving TC masonry bits the once-over
Hammer drill and impact drill are one in the same, different nomenclature.
If this is a one shot deal rent one, any one. If you're a tool hound, like
some guys :>), hustle down to Home Depot and peruse their hammer drill
selection and bring home another important guy tool.

Ah yes ... I did use the blue Tapcon masonry screws and while I

If you have never used "TAPCON" brand masonry screws, try some. They are
great but using the proper size drill is essential.

Ok here comes the resident handyman on this list. I assume you mean those
blue concrete screws that are out now. Well, the drill bits that they sell
for those, although a bit pricy, aren't worth a damn! I have had them bend,
break, and dull more times than I care to mention. The best that I
Dave,
If it is a carbide tipped bit, the quality is proportional to the price. If
you are using Tapcon screws, use their bit. My neighbor & I put up hurricane
shutter frames on both houses and used only one tapcon bit. It helps if you
have a hammer drill, the carbide does not get as hot and the

Most times those type of drills work better in an impact type pistol drill.

Somewhere along the line in my basic set of handyman techniques, I
never got the memo on how to fasten things to cement or masonry.
I have a couple of projects pending, both of which need to somehow
attach things either to a cement wall or to a cement patio.
