How To Hammer A Nail In Concrete or Brick. How to hang a picture.

What happens here

The video begins by explaining the common frustrations of hanging items on hard masonry surfaces, which traditionally requires specialized masonry drills, drill bits, and anchors. The presenter introduces an innovative and much simpler solution: "THS Fluted Masonry Nails," which can be hammered directly into concrete, cement, block, or brick without pre-drilling. He shares his previous struggles with traditional methods when hanging pictures on a fireplace and attaching panel boards to a masonry wall.

In this video, I'm going to show you how you can easily hang a picture or any other type of item on a concrete cement or block wall. I've got a fireplace right here. Wanted to hang some pictures on the other side. And I had to go to the extent of actually getting a masonry drill, drilling a hole, and hammering anchor in there. And what a pain in the neck that was to actually hang the picture. And then now I got this situation here where we're actually adding some decorative um panel boards on this. And I had to actually get some um some backing up here to actually screw and hang that to. And I was trying to figure out how I was going to have to attach these boards. And I found this item called at my local hardware store called a ths fluted masonry nail. And I was like, well, that's kind of interesting. It's just a simple little nail. Hell is that thing can actually hammer into brick or concrete or block without it chipping and breaking. So, I bought these things, gave it a test, and I was actually amazed. I'm going to show you how simply and easily these things work and how easy you can hang a picture and see like a basement. We got a basement downstairs, and it's all concrete, and we've never been able to hang any pictures on there. And now, with this simple nail, this is how you can actually do it. So, I'm going to show you how easily it works right now.
