Default Putting Nails Into Concrete Walls


wrote

Unless you have a lot of patience you really need a hammer drill. Then
TapCons are the hot lick for fastening anything to concrete. I also
suggest hearing protection with the hammer drill (or the Bam Gun
fasteners). If you have the right tools concrete is just another wall
surface, tougher than most.


You got that entirely right. It is just that you want to be able to put
something up, and then TAKE IT DOWN if you want to do it without leaving a
cone shaped hole, or some Mondo fastener showing on the wall. Take out a
TapCon, daub a bit of spackle, and it's almost invisible.
