@Agent Smith @41FanForLife @anyhandydude seen these?
Timber merchant just gave me these to secure a wooden door frame to concrete (cinder?) block. Reckons masonry drill 6.5mm and bang em in. The 'key' provides enough friction apparently.View attachment 310329
I've never seen those. We just use tapcons here but long ago it was masonry spikes that were used. Maybe those are the equivalent to masonry spikes there? Idk

I've seen electricians use something similar for mounting boxes and conduit straps on poured walls and grouted block walls..

I've never seen such things. Then again I'm pretty much set on select fasteners for various things and don't see the need to try anything else
I get that.
I'm pretty much winging it on everything I do so the counter guy usually knows more than me what's current.

I remember like a hundred years ago doing form work, we drilled a hole and drove two 16 penny sinkers in it side by side to attach a 2x to a footer, poured wall, or floor. To get it loose, just pop out one nail with a cats claw. That was before Tapcons were invented.

We still do that on form jobs. We just use duplex nails.
