What type of equipment is needed to install a concrete fastener?

For bonded fasteners and most of the expansion fasteners, a power drill with a masonry bit will do for the predrilled hole.

Bonded fasteners use either a cement-based grout or two-part chemical adhesive which can be purchased with the fasteners. A bulb-type blower is useful to remove the dust from the hole.

Some expansion fasteners require a wrench to tighten the nut to make cause the base expand.

Other expansion fasteners are expanded by hammering the top of the fastener (or using a hammer drill). For these fasteners, pounding on the top forces the bottom to expand outward against the hole.

In either case, follow the manufacturers directions and use safety precautions.
