What’s the heaviest thing you’ve used these fixings for? They are so strong!

3:28 Lectures about drilling into brick walls, and then proceeds to drill the holes through the mortar between the bricks.

Watching this in Berlin, Germany and it helped me understand more how to use chemical resin anchors - thanks for making this video!

Never ever use those things in mortar joints, only use in bricks or concrete !

Used these to put in my 2 post lift with m18 studs. Very strong, allowed nut to be torqued up. I like the fact that its a bond, and not friction by expansion of a plug, which i felt could stress what you have drilled into.

Good timing. I'm putting up a floating loft bed shortly and resin wall anchors were recommended. Another very helpful video!

Slowly renovating my house and recently came across the DIY Guy's videos. Fantastic stuff. Clear and simple. Explained well and the step by step approached if great for semi-novice like myself. Don't ever stop, DIY

I've had blockwork give way and break before the resin. Super strong stuff.

You can use the threaded rod in the drill if you dont have a drill bit to match the rod for a clearance hole

Must admit I’m a fan of rawl bolts mainly because they give a degree of flexibility, as a retired electrical contractor fixing say heavy items that may over time finish up being relocated, it was handy to be able to remove them if needs be . But I appreciate it’s down to personal choice, I would say I would tend to avoid fixing into the mortar joints were ever possible . Kind regards 👍

I used resin to anchor very long bolts that we inserted into the holes that we drilled through the rings of railway arches, which were then tightened with a large plate and a bolt.
Still there in Camden, near the Hawley arms.

Have used resin anchors for years, Used for industrial machine installation foundation bolts brill

Thanks for a really interesting vid - I've only ever used screws and wall plugs to fix into masonry. Might give these resin anchors a try next time I need something heavy duty.

Used resin anchors to install a very heavy pair of wooden gates into building block. They're still doing the job 4 years on, without any compromise.
I would point out though, make sure the hole is perfectly clean - no dust or debris, otherwise you compromise the integrity of the fixing. Hope this helps

[vespamorelli]

Very useful video. Never used chemical fixings before but definitely will in the future. Thank you 👌🏻

Everyone says don’t go in the mortar well if these bricks are extruded with 3 to six vertical cavities there is not much at all when you go through the extrusion.Older bricks were solid and much stronger so I go through the mortar on modern extruded bricks.

[SyncMan]

Totally new for me resin anchors so looking forward to giving them a try. Thanks for the awesome demo 👍

[roybatty]

To clean out the drilled hole stick a small flexible tube in to the far end, shut your eyes and…. … blow!

[danielwarrington]

I’ve used these to anchor a squat rack to our chimney breast in the cellar and a pulley machine on another wall. Amazing stuff.

People, please spend a bit of time and read the specs that come with the Resin, it gives you all the specifications for drill bit size and depth into the wall.
