Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Have you ever wondered how to attach REALLY heavy things to walls? Things like giant heavy radiators, huge TVs and the like? How do the pros attach safety railings to walls to ensure they won't fall down? Welcome to the world of WALL BOLTS! Wall bolts also get known was Shield Anchors, Rawlbolts and probably various other names. They're designed for attaching VERY heavy things to solid walls such as brick, concrete, stone and blockwork. You can also use them to attach heavy things to concrete floors and ceilings. In this video I'll give you a few tips of how to use them - welcome back to the Gosforth Handyman Tips Library!

It covers 2 walls of our smaller size bedroom and my son’s small bedroom. Need to hang heavy duty floating shelves for books and also, heavy paint cans! lol (I don’t like them outside because the constant cold temps and then super high summer temps tends to ruin them! 😂

    Good video pal. For anyone looking to use these with only a standard masonry bit/hammer drill you can get away with using a bicycle pump and a needle tip (like you would use to pump up a football) to blow out the excess debris and dust. Messy but it certainly clears the cavity enough to allow a solid install.

    Great tip about installing the bolts in the anchors onto the thing to be mounted and then inserting them into the drilled holes! I tried it by installing the anchors in the wall and then screwing the bolts in, but one of the bolts wouldn't grip and then it was a nightmare trying to get the anchor out of the wall again. All done thanks to this great video, thanks!

    Just wanted to thank you for your video. This was what pointed me in the right direction. Where I live, most of my walls are ultra dense, reinforced concrete - kinda stuff used in UK high rises in the 60's. Anyways, I weight 130kgs and so bought a hefty pull up bar which is wall mounted with four M10 rawlbolts now. Never felt anything so solid. I then decided to get gymnastic rings and so SDS drilled into the ceiling, which is also this god-like super concrete (took ages) - installed M10 eyehook bolts and hung 200kg load carabiners and gym rings (straps and gym rings can hold 450kg each). I still was a bit concerned. Until I set one gym ring about 5 inches off the ground and put all my weight on it....for for 10 seconds I swung gently back and forth...all 130kgs of me. On ONE BOLT! Called RawlPlug UK to see if this was OK and Adrian laughed and said I could have 3 of me on one, and the carabiner and gym rings would give out before this single rawlbolt. If it wasn't for your video I would have never been able to get myself the gear I need to get in shape at home. So a huge thank you. I have subbed. :)
