It'll work then. LOL! Posted on 04/27/2006 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Hammering a Nail or Screwing Into Stone By joynchocolate (29) Profile Contact Thanks so much for the great tips!

The clamps are sturdy enough to handle my wreaths, which are large (about 36 inches in diameter) and fairly heavy.

I got mine at Ace Hardware store. Good luck once you find them they are great and no holes.

Contact Lowe's has concrete screws. They're called Tapcon and they're blue. My husband used them on his garage (to screw through the concrete blocks) and he says they work. You have to drill a hole 1st with a masonary bit. Make sure you get the right size bit for the screws that you use. It says on the package of screws what size bit you need. You can use a cordless drill or electric, doesn't matter.

Try a google search for Miles Kimball and request a free catalog. Posted on 03/31/2006 | Report Spam or Abuse
