Jane is wonderful. I've watched other people do what she does and NO ONE explains things the way that Jane does. I remodeled my kitchen and saved 10s of thousands of dollars, literally, because Jane gives you clear, concise and easy to follow instructions. Thanks a million Jane.

This is the gold standard for how-to videos! Even though no tripod was used, the positioning of the camera was perfect for the viewer to see and understand along with the explanation. No annoying background music or crazy editing. Also, no annoying commentary on someone's life story as to how they got to learn this, etc. I love that a lady does all the commentary and demonstration. Wish there were more like this.

I'm an Engineer. A Biomedical Engineer. I don't know squat about screws and bolts and stuff. My wife who is a Civil Engineer wants me to start fixing stuff. So, I went to graduate school and got a Master's in Mechanical Engineering. I can design stuff. But they never let me handle welding and taking things apart ha ha! So, I watch videos like this to learn! Well done ma'am! Thank you!

At last! A video series that provides answers to the “WHY?” as well as the what and how - thank you 👍

12 hours after watching your video, I successfully completed my 22×30 concrete porch with strike anchors and a powerful hammer drill (of course we learned the hard way that a regular drill would not work on concrete- lost a day)... HOWEVER, thank you very much! We were able to drill 80 concrete holes and ground 20 post bases under 2 hours with the proper tools and anchors!! After using the rental hammer drill with ease, I went out and purchased my own personal hammer drill!! I love it!!

You are such a good teacher. You don't skip or gloss over anything so we fully understand the task.

Great video. I used the blue ones. The countersink is nice because you're almost always screwing wood to concrete. So it sinks itself into the stud or plywood.

"My quarantine todo list" I've had this ceiling fan for three years and six minutes with you has given me the confidence that three handymen couldn't to install this thing!!! I love you, thank you!!!

Your voice is so soothing. Simultaneously relaxed yet enthused to drill concrete. Subscribed!

Your videos are excellent. I have used several for DIY stuff I had to do. You're an excellent presenter and know your stuff!

You really explain things well, so very clear. I can't believe how well you covered these fasteners in around 6 minutes. Nice demonstration. Thanks.

just so you know, I'm building a new deck for my grandpa who has done everything for me, hes a little too old to be working out in the heat and I wanted to surprise him with a new porch for the front of his house since he always talks about wanting one. I grew up without a father figure and since my grandpa worked in coal mining for about 65 years he was out of the country a lot of the time. so I never really got taught how to build anything or work on anything, but I didn't let it stop me im a successful welder now and I own two welding companies, I watch your videos for things i don't know how to do with this, like concrete anchors and such. you've filled a big whole in my building knowledge and you're helping people do great things.

Thankyou, learned more in 2 minutes. than having someone round my house and doing the job for me. Brilliant thanks.

Hi Leah! :) Thank you so much for a simple, how to do it yourself video! It is exactly what I was looking for so I could feel confident enough to do my patio project! I bought all the materials and the only thing that has been holding me back is to install the bases with sleeve anchors onto the concrete! Love it!!! Now, I am really excited!!! :) 1st comment ever on a KZread video! You definitely deserve many applauds for a job well-done. Not only that, I feel extremely encouraged by you!!! :)

Leah, I just wanted to say that this video totally saved my butt today. Made the difference between success and complete failure. Thanks for all of your help.

I'm always so excited when I'm looking for a "How To" video and she comes up. I love this lady so much. She is so knowledgeable and explains in a good learning voice without flashy video cuts or over excitement. Thank you for the help. Now time to hang my pool rod hanger hooks. :)

Absolutely amazing video! I love how you explained the uses, mechanisms, and techniques of each anchor. So informative. Please make videos for everything handyman/construction related!!!

I'm pretty handy as a retired utility lineman, and I always recommend your videos to my beginner DIY friends. You're a great teacher, but one small quibble on this video is that you could have shown a variety of clamps to illustrate why you might be using these fasteners in the first place.

Thank you for the words of encouragement at the end of the video! I'm embarking on my first drilling into brick and it's driving me nuts! So much to learn to do it right , all the different options for something that seems so simple as drilling a hole into brick.

I’ve watched a few videos on concrete anchors and none explained it as succinctly and simply as you have. Great video!

Excellent, A+++, 5 star tutorial. Great teacher. Thank you.

Fantastic!! Thank you for sharing this item with us. Doesn't everyone have something hard to nail into and we're buying special and expensive bits for endless drilling? This is absolutely amazing!

Can I just say that your videos are super approachable and have a great amount of considerate information?!

Nice video. Great info for any DIYer to have. TIP: Make sure when driving threaded anchors to back the nut off the end until end of the thread is recessed below the nut face a tad (so you are pounding on the nut not the threaded rod). This will keep the hammer from buggering up the end of the threads making it difficult to remove the nut when attaching whatever the fastener is to anchor to the concrete.

Awesome! As a HD hardware associate, concrete anchors were a big mystery to me. This actually helps me do my job better helping customers. You're awesome!

OMG finally a TRUE teacher. Thank you, from a newbie in this field.

I agree with the person below! GREAT TEACHER. Solid info... THANKS!

God bless you, mam! Thank you for showing a young guy like me how to use tools :-D

OUTSTANDING! I just used sleeve anchors for the 1st time to mount brackets to a poured concrete wall so that I can stack and sticker wood in my shop. Great help Jane! Thank you! My wife thinks we could park her car on those things and they'd hold, LOL.

Super great video. Nice and clear pronunciation and demonstrations of each piece. I like how you provided details of each mounting piece and their differences of permanent and non-permanent. Great job!!

Learned something new, thanks for the class.

Thank you so much for posting this Jane

Excellent! Everything you need to know about concrete anchors, taught quickly and efficiently by a very pleasant instructor. Thank you for the helpful video.

I attached my hanging bed to the concrete ceiling using 4 sleeve anchors per rope, and it‘s holding up wonderfully :) Thank you for this informative video!

awesome I did not think it was that easy, very well explained, thank you!

So much better than the old "concrete nails", and even the types that use a firearm to blast them in, don't always hold. My own personal experience has been with something called a Tapcon screw, I like the ones you used that flare out. Sort of like one of my favorites, the Molly Bolt to use on drywall to get a firm spread out hold once it compresses back against the wall. Love all your videos!

About 27 years ago, I refinished an area of our basement with stud walls and sheetrock. The stem walls are thick reinforced concrete, as is the slab. I used 3/8" lag bolts and shields for attaching the sleepers. At a pull-out rating of 3/4 ton, it was a pretty good solution. I'm surprised that lag shields weren't covered here.

You can attach a straw / pipe to a 1m piece of plastic tubing (like they use for wine, fuel, hospitals, aquariums or whatever), then you don't get dust in the face when you blow a hole through that. Rather than a can of air, I'd use an air compressor or even a manual air pump.

Use a straw! Just do not blow in it: grab your vacuum cleaner and hold the straw into the vacuum end and... tada! You'll be able to make a sufficient seal around the straw and the vacuum end to allow enough suction to clear out the hole. Happy (clean faced) drilling :)

Also, if you want to nail in regular nails, drop a piece of wire in there, and pound the nail in right along side the wire, and it'll stay, like a nail in wood. If you want to remove the nail, especially if you're using a duplex nail, just use a nail remover or the claw on a hammer, and yank it out. Something I learned in carpentry at community college. I watched to learn about the screws. Thanks for the video.
