what I've discovered today has finally
blew my mind probably not used to a lot
of people but just in case you're
wondering you can use nails in masonry
as long as you got the right type in
ales
and welcome to wine he's probably gonna
be the quickest quick fix it fix it
fingers history
I want to rehang my whiteboard because I
recently had to move it to get a few
different tools into place and typical
way you gonna need a hammer drill you're
gonna need some decent masonry bits and
donate some plugs you know those ramsett
wall plugs or just the Greenies but you
bash in there it's noisy it's dusty and
not everyone has this sort of equipment
now obviously if you're making something
like that which is holding a bunch of
weight and you're gonna be looking at
bigger anchor bolts and those sorts of
things but you don't need to go that
overkill yeah I know it was in the mint
all these are concrete nails or masonry
nails my particular ones are from Ram
sentiment bunnies they're a couple of
bucks and they are changing my little
life I've just tried them out for the
first time on the bricks I've tried it
in the actual brick and that didn't work
too well

now obviously you've got to be careful
of where you're gonna be hanging stuff
up make sure you've got good water it
doesn't want to be terribly crumbly and
the good news is if you haven't moved it
you can take it out put some cement
water in there and you've patched your
hole really really quickly now I will
stress the aren't gonna take a huge
amount of weight okay water is not the
strongest substrate to be bashing into
but for me I'm gonna whiteboard and
that's got about a kilo and a half
minute at absolute best
that's the other's work so instead of
this all I need is this there you go
five second job
easy as you like now the scientist in me
wanted to do a little bit more testing
because these were meant to be concrete
nails not mortar nails so here is some
regular cement and some sandstone from
our garden and I'll try now first the
masonry nails and then a boomerang of a
regular nail then I've got a shorter
regular nail and surprise surprise that
actually worked it went in there just
fine so the one one didn't work but both
the cement and the sandstone a regular
study nail went in there not a problem
look at that so I by side with the
masonry now that's the sandstone they
were in there pretty good give it a real
test however I thought I'd take it up to
some reinforced concrete now it already
failed in the bricks but bricks have
incredibly high compression in them here
it was going well and then it just flew
out with the regular nail and the
masonry nails same thing it was just
chipping away the concrete it couldn't
actually get a purchase in there i
belted that so hard we bent both of them
even the masonry nail so great in
sedimentary rocks and in the mortar and
soft concrete I have heard other people
with other brands get results but in
bricks and in reinforced concrete just
couldn't get it to work well there's a
great little quick tip we'd have liked
it do smash the thumbs up and consider
subscribing if you'd like to catch them
all woodwork and the odd handyman he'd
just like this one I'll see you next
week
