How do you nail into a cement wall?
Question:
Answers:
depending on what you are attaching to the wall, you could drill a hole in it and then use zircon screws. they are made for screwing into a hole in concrete. you will also need a hammer drill and a masonry drill bit for this way. you can get them at a hardware store or building supply center. or if you have a lot of items to attach, a power nail tool. it fires a .22 cartridge shell that drives the nail into the concrete from a gun made just for this purpose. good luck, hope this helps.
With a concrete nail. It is a hardened, fluted nail.
^he's right
Purchase masonry nails, either cut or fluted. Wear eye protection. You can also get a powder actuated tool that basically shoots the nail into the concrete using a gunpowder charge. Wear eye protection.
Did I say to wear eye protection?
Nailing requires a bullet powered nail gun. Its far easier and safer to use a hammer drill and install plastic anchors and then screw whatever you want in. Or you can use the hammer drill and then drive a bolt through wood or whatever in with an impact wrench.
either a specially made concrete nail, or by drilling a hole into the concrete, and using a expanding bolt, in my experience, the expanding bold works best, but you'll have a hard time taking it out
you use a machine screw driver.If you use a hammer you can crack the wall.
There are guns that will drive a special nail in concrete. The only thing is every one I have seen drive a nail in concrete with in a year the concrete is cracked.
