@DeanSafe-Thanks for post. With all due respect I would recommend safety glasses. One night I was using a 4lb. "baby" sledge against a chisel. I felt the sliver when it entered my left eye. I tried to tough it out but no way. 8 hours later my head was in a jig at the eye Dr.'s office. He anesthetized the eye then had to drill a hole in the eyeball with a micro-bit. He said the type metal in my eye would rust due natural chemicals in the eye and the toxins would do nerve damage if left in.NOT FUN
@jbrow117 First thing you do is remove the safe by removing the nuts and washers from the inside of the safe. Push the safe over enough to get a roller bar under it and move it out of the way. Get a big hammer and give each bolt a few good blows to the side and the bolts will break off. last but not least pound anything that remains down to flatten or grind down what's left to make flush. Thanks for watching, John
@JINXED7777 Yes you can buy you may want to make a "X" cut in the carpet thru the bolt down hole in the bottom of the safe. this will keep the drill bit from catching a strand and starting a run in the carpet.
@dagvc1 Your right, we use the "Center-Pin Drive Anchors" which are part of the Wej-It brand anchors family and they do work great. Most anchors will work fine but when your doing this all day long these will save you time, and time is money. thanks for the great comment.

@mmmmmnnnnn55555 Here in Southern California we are swimming in "Post Tension cables" homes do to earthquakes. My guys tell me "you'll know it when you hit a post tension cable" you must stop. Clean out the hole, spray in a rust resistant primer like zinc crommate (SP) primer, let it dry, patch it, move the safe over an inch or two and start over. I'm told there is a stud finder type of device coming out soon, I'll let you know when it come out. thanks for watching,

@WatchRyder Good question. We don't hammer the safe itself, we would remove the safe by removing the nuts and washers from the inside of the safe. Push the safe over enough to get a roller bar under it and move it out of the way. once the safe is removed, get a hammer and give a it a few good blows to the side and the bolt will break off. last but not least pound down to flatten or grind down what's left to make flush.
@DAILEYericCaryUSA Yes, you are right he should have hearing protection on. But he (Joe) felt that wearing his safety glasses and hearing protectors' in the video would take away from his boyish charm. But rest assured on the job he's prepared. Thank you for the kind comments. John

Is there any risk of damage if you hit one of the tension cables in the concrete with the drill? I know they have a lot of strain on them.

I'm not familiar with that kind of anchor. How do you take them out, say if you were moving?

@DeanSafe
For hammering the safe itself to free the bolts would you be using a rubberised or soft metal one?
Just wondering how you'd prevent damage to the safe while doing that. :)
