hey everybody I'm here today to make a
quick video of myself using tapcon
concrete screws to secure this piece of
2x4 wood against this concrete wall now
right now the piece of wood is just
being held in place by this piece of
wood right here and some other pieces of
wood that are just sort of temporarily
holding it in place so basically I'm
going to start off by drilling a pilot
hole in the piece of wood and I'm just
going to be drilling it right about in
the middle right here now I'm just using
this drill bit right here I'm just going
to drill a pilot hole in the wood all
right now that I have drilled the pilot
hole in the wood I'm going to drill into
the concrete using this concrete drill
bit now the concrete drill bit is just
slightly smaller than the thickness of
the tapcon concrete screw so basically I
need to drill roughly about an inch into
the concrete and I have to go through
this 2x4 so if I just hold the drill bit
against the wall just like this I can
see where I need to land where I need to
finish on the drill bit so I'm just
going to go ahead and I'm going to drill
through this pilot hole and now that I
am touching the concrete I'm going to
drill about an inch give or take into
the concrete
you know what my my drill battery
actually died I'm just going to go and
get a new battery I'll be right back
alright now that I have this new battery
I'm going to continue drilling into the
concrete alrighty so now that I've
drilled into the concrete I'm just going
to just hold this here just for a quick
second while I get the tap con a bit out
of my pocket alrighty so now I'm going
to remove the drill from here and
basically I'm going to get the screw
into place and we will screw it right
into place
alright so now I'm just going to remove
the drill bit this piece of wood is
actually there we go now it's back into
position alright I'm going to replace
that drill bit with a Phillips head
drill bit ready to go let's get the
tapcon in place I'm going to start off
by just putting it into the wood just
like that now I'm going to get this into
position and we're going to drill it
right into place alright so as you can
see the tapcon concrete screw is holding
the piece of wood against the wall I'm
pulling on it and it's not moving at all
so now I'm actually going to do the
exact same thing with the other side so
I'm just going to bring the camera back
to show you what I'm working with right
now so I've already done the top piece
of wood now I'm doing this bottom piece
of wood and these are the pieces of wood
that were sort of holding it in place so
what I'm going to do now is I'm just
going to do the exact same thing on this
side right here but I'll leave the
camera a bit further back just to give
you a better view of the whole situation
and then I can remove the supporting
pieces of wood and I'll be good to go
all right and just as you can see right
here the tapcon concrete screws are
holding this 2x4 securely against this
concrete wall just as you can see right
here the 2x4 is securely being held
against the cinder block right here now
I will be using these two pieces of wood
for some organization in my garage but I
just wanted to make this quick video
just to show you that with two simple
tapcon concrete screws you can secure a
piece of wood to cinder block or
concrete at pretty much any concrete
wall as long as you sort of use them the
right wing and that's basically and I
just wanted to make this quick video to
show you myself securing this 2x4 to a
concrete wall with tapcon concrete
screws once again I will be using these
two pieces of wood for some garage tool
organization and that's basically it I
hope that you have enjoyed this video
and that's all I have for you today
thanks for watching
