can i use this to make 2x4 wood walls

[confast]

they are used for that type of application by many different people.

@OakAged72 I stuck with large bolts, they don't strip out all the time and they are much stronger, goodluck.

@KRASIMIRpro I'd say yes you can, if you use the right ones and enough of them and the surface you're connecting to is secure enough.

@campbowwowlic Yes, you can attach anything that can be held by a screw to concrete, brick, or block with these. But since you're using backer board on a floor, you're probably tiling, right? So your next concern is whether the screw will resist the corrosion from the mortar. I guess you could cover them in silicone. And are there even countersinking heads on any of these? That's another concern as you don't want the heads sticking up, unless you use a very thick layer of mortar.

@TheMrmagnetophon Then it's a good thing luck is not required! A bit of skill goes a long way with them however. There's only two reasons they won't work well for you: 1. bad concrete or 2) improper use. If your basement floor consists of bad concrete you may want to consider replacing it.

i've never had luck with these finishing my basement with the bottom plate!

@campbowwowlic each application is different and we are not engineers and are unable to specify specific anchors for specfic applications. It should work, try it out.

Can I use your screws to attach concrete backerboard to a concrete floor?

[KRASIMIRpro]

i just bought your brand and i want to ask it they are strong enough to hold a pull up bar with 180pounds person on it

@gregvancom they will not work in stucco. I would get a hold of the company you purchased them from and see if you can figure out if the proplom is the screw or the base material.
