6:03 Before to start to hammer the bolt, the nut must be placed to prevent from not being able to screw it onto the bolt due to damage on the threads.

@hughhopwood7421 9 ай бұрын

Its easy to overlook, but one stray strike with the hammer and the thread is toast. Always run a nut onto the threads as a protector and it gives you a larger strike face too.

@illwill718 I usually double, sometimes triple stack nuts onto the threads. Now you have a larger strike face, and more rigidity added to the anchor, it won't bend as easy.

@Jared K - I disagree if you hammer 🔨 the top without the but it is safer than hammering with the nut on. Hammering with the nut on puts stress on the attached thread rows as you strike the hammer. Doing it your way is DUMB

Using power tools to tighten a nut that requires a specific torque. No wonder your post is wobbling.

@HandyBros 3 жыл бұрын

Thank you so much for the valuable feedback. I totally agree with the fact that power tools should be avoided where a specific torque is needed. The torque required was high and we set the impact driver to low setting before driving. Thanks

@drkndn 3 жыл бұрын

1/2 x 3 3/4 requires 55ft/lbs of torque. That's not low torque. Even on low setting, you could've easily overtightened that nut 20-30 ft/lbs

Firstly, This is for concrete or masonry application. I don't think this would work for the application that you are seeking even if you are anchoring it to concrete.

@easyspeak101 Жыл бұрын

To add. Be aware hitting soft metal too hard will expand the bolt and not possible to get nut on. If you drill a hole the bolt may only go in the hole part of the way.. tempting you to hit harder.. 🤔

great advice! Have the nut attached to the bolt before hammering.
