I also had a lot of problems. The hardware guy said that they work best in
new concrete and that my 30 year old concrete was "too hard". Go figure!

Guys, I don't understand all these posts. I don't recall ever having a
problem with tapcons in concrete. Hard fired brick I have experienced some
problems.

Are you following the directions? The screw should only penetrate the
concrete by 3/4", an absolute 1" maximum.

Don't mean to insult anyone with that question.
