Default Putting Nails Into Concrete Walls


"Doug" wrote in message

Hi,

I would like to hang some things up in my basement, but the walls are
of course all made of concrete. Is there a special type of nail to
hang on concrete walls or is there something other than nails that can
be used?


Yes, there are concrete nails. But, they are a bugger to drive in, and a
bugger to get out. And you have a very good chance of the concrete coming
off, and all you end up with is a hole.

Check out TapCons. For what you want to hang, you don't have to use very
long ones. Easy, tough, removable, and you won't end up with a bunch of
nails sticking out here and there, or holes from trying to pull those nails
out.
