I second this....Drill the hole, hammer it in, twist the nut and that thing is never coming out. Not only could you hang a TV from it, you could probably hang a Honda from it.
Started using these after I split too many lead anchors in half pieces of crap.
How deep should the hole be? I don't want to drill to deep and mess it up..
I have a dewalt drill with a hammer function. When you drill the hole, do you use the hammer function with the supplied bit from tapcon, or do you use the normal drill setting? It would seem like the hammer would make the hole wider because of the hammer vibration?
Also, do you keep the drill on hammer when you are actually screwing in the tapcon screw? I watched a video and they said to drill it in slowly and NOT to overtighten at all. How tight to you guys go?
Wait, I don't know if you are confused, but this is the screw I am talking about
