This guy's level of excitement is off the charts

I think I've used every one of these anchors incorrectly in the past. Very effective, simple presentation to clarify how to install (use a hammer!). Thanks!

Trying to fight sleep while listening to this guy was the challenge of the month.... Good info though but 2x speed for SURE.

Thank you for taking the time to be detailed and descriptive. Some folks like me, have utterly no knowledge on these topics. Your video being so detail oriented, is what I consider a helpful tool in of it’s self. Please continue to be as detailed and descriptive as possible. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I was all set to fix my porch stairs (some of which are rotting) when I noticed one rotten piece was attached to a concrete wall. My first thought was "Darn it! Now I have to hire someone!".
This video is exactly what I needed to see.
Thank you so much!!!

This should be in our schools, as we took home Ed, , this is standard living information, thank you for this

Video on fasteners was very easy to follow with an explanation of product and use. I have used stainless steel screws and washers for my screen enclosure in Florida and I am extremely happy with their performance and appearance after three years. The washers were recommended by Albany because of use and dissimilar metals which can cause some corrosion. So far no corrosion has occurred and I am extremely happy with their performance and their cost.

I live in Mexico and most if not all homes are made of brick and concrete as oppose to wood like in America. I actually used to work in masonry and have seen a co worker use these to make a shelf for huge, heavy stoves. Unfortunately I didn´t get to see how he installed them so I appreciate your vid.

Superb... well done. I love how slowly you speak. Nice calm presentation without the drama and bad music. Thanks.

You helped me a lot. I assembled an Arrow 10 x 10 shed. I ordered an anchoring Kit for it.
The directions just say to "install the anchoring bolt" that is it. So I would have made a mistake-or-4 installing the anchoring bolt with no knowledge of how it works.
Thank you for being here.

What a great video. Starting from almost no knowledge about this sort of securing mechanism to feeling very comfortable. Great demonstration and it moves me forward in designing a project. Much appreciated.

[dreamingcode]

Really helpful! Would have been nice to know what size bit you used for each anchor though. They really should teach this in schools.

[jamiegoodman]

What I needed. Concise, great fotos. Non egocentric. Excellent teacher

[marlenelemes]

Great video - -BUT !!! - -no word on the most important part - - -how deep do you drill, you have to take into account the thickness of what you are fastening, as well as length of the dyna bolt (expanding bolt)) TO MAKE SURE WHEN YOU FASTEN EVERYTHING IS FLUSH
MOST IMPORTANT THING LEFT OUT

[TheSoftspokenShaman]

Always good to brush up on the different applications for masonry fasteners and anchors

[kidphillyorg]

Thank you very much. Everything I was looking for. Time to finish my home project thanks to your information. Always not that complicated when explained well and demonstrated properly. Thank you sir.

[FCWW]

THANKS!! I needed to learn about a few of the options so I could choose for myself, and you did that! I almost couldn’t watch hearing you say mason-airy, but I got over it:)

[aldimmett]

This answered all my questions about sleeve bolts. Great video.
