Concrete screws | Masonry screws

Concrete screws are a really fast and easy way to fix to masonry. Once the correct drill bit has been selected you can use these fasteners really quickly as there is no messing about- just drill the correct size hole and then screw the concrete screw into the hole!

Your videos have helped me loads over the years. Including this one today. Thank you.

After watching many videos on screws, spending hours of time, this <2min video answered my question. Thanks.

Hi U.H., Thank you for making another clear, concise video. Nice job! You are helping build my confidence to try projects that I never thought I'd ever even attempt on my own. I look forward to learning more from your channel. Sincerely, Caroline in Connecticut

Perfect! I've had some slabs laid outside of my permanently sited caravan for my full awning to go onto, And these will be Ideal in place of the tent pegs. I'm ordering some M8 plastic wing nuts for the awning rubbers to go over, And screw em down. Excellent solution. Thank you! Rob J.

One tip I'd add... use a drill, not an impact driver. I find that an impact either over-tightens or otherwise somehow weakens the thread cut into the concrete, and you often end up with the hole being stripped out and useless. A drill works much better

you have just saved my life as I need to screw down a wooden archway into paving and was wondering what to, ie buy some type of raw plug but this seems a lot easier.

I feel like the pilot hole demo would have been useful as well.

I don't seem to be able to find out what size / how much smaller a drill bit to use to drill a hole for e.g. 7.5mm concrete frame screw (AKA tapcon)? I could do with a 4.5-6mm drill bit but it's just my guessing and am sure therre is an optimal hole size so it doesn't get stuck in while screwing in or become too loose and risk loosing grip.

I just came to my mind "why they dont even make a screws for concrete without the need of tox or expansion bolts" but here we are, there it is courtesy of youtube 😁

Hi, I'm trying to lay a floor using scaffolding boards. The floor underneath is concrete. Would using these type of screws be suitable to fix the boards onto the concrete? Also, I see that in a previous comment to Rodger Waldram you have said the screw part sticks out a but. Could this be resolved by counter sinking the screw heads? I don't want to be stubbing my toes on them! Any advice would be gratefully received! Thanks. Anna

Thanks, explained everything we need to do. 😁 😀

Good video what diameter and length are these screws?

Hi there, great video.

I'm looking at buying a few concrete posts to put some heavy duty fencing up. I want to attach a 4" x 3" timber to the concrete posts and hang a gate off. Questions:

1. Would these concrete screws be OK to go through timber AND concrete?
2. Assume pre-drill the concrete but NOT the timber batten?

Thank you!

Great vid! do you have to drill a pilot hole first? or do you know of anything that will drill into brick without pilot holes? I remember working with a glazier a while back now who had some fixings which did this,
all best

Hi matey, could you use to fix wood to a plastered wall that's made of breeze block? Regards Steve.
