  1. Here's an Amazon affiliate link to bolts similar to the ones I'm using in the vid: https://amzn.to/3IvlWPv

  2. Great video! Will I be able to use them on cinder block to anchor a safe?

  3. Can i use this for a soap rack?

  4. Hi so if I'm using my 90mm length ones do I drill to 90mm deep it says drill to 55mm on pack ?? Thanks

  5. Thankyou sir
    I was fitting my pull up bars in wall and I only knew about plastic anchors
    These metal anchors came with the setup and i did not know how to use it.
    👍🏼

  6. I bought a pack of 25 Sleeve Anchor bolts off Amazon. They are fairly weak in their design and they're not as heavy duty as those in this video. Mine are M6 x 60mm. Would they be ok to hold metal brackets onto a concrete wall?? I want to put up brackets on my shops concrete block wall for lumber storage. Would u think they might be strong enough.

  7. What type of sleeve anchor would you use for attaching a motorycle anchor, specifically the hiplok wall anchor weighs less than 2kg i would say, to a brick wall. A reasonable heavy motorcycle chain will be going through the hiplok anchor. Would it be a drop in sleeve or expansion sleeve ?

  8. The design makes this AC a possible alternative to ductless DYI systems. It works great. The remote control could be more visual aid oriented like a backligh design. Is impossible to see the lcd at least for me. Easy install https://www.youtube.com/post/Ugkx_hHgTlzH3uk31Fe2RVS3xEbXHGaN_z5Tation. Came on time . Great comfort around the house 5 🌟 again. Follow mfg instructions for care and all and this should be the only AC you need for those of is that don't live in new homes with central AC

  9. Good video
    Should the washer be behind the bracket of a punch bag or in front ?

  10. Useful video 👍👍👍👍

  11. What can I use to mount a tv on hollow clay brick that has bein plastered with concrete

  12. This is what im looking for. Amazing, big thanks. Got 2 heavy TVs to hang and my DIY skills are crap. 💪

  13. In Australia its a Dynabolt.👍🇦🇺

  14. Can these be used on breeze block?

  15. i made my self a 60 kg full metal dip and pull up bar suspended on a wall and i put 10 of 12 mm bolts because i was scared of it falling on my head and now i think the metal will break before these things go out or the wall will go down

  16. We call this kind of fitting a concrete anchor in the US

  17. Would these be good for hanging a 4ft punchbag into concrete

  18. this anchor is for concrete floor not for drywall installation

  19. First time home owner here. I drilled 4 of these in close proximity to eachother and they pulled my wall out now I've got a big hole in my wall. Any tips on how to avoid this in the future 😂

  20. Missing crucial info about how close to edge of wall or slab can they be used without splitting the masonry or concrete 🤔
