This is a question "You're doing it wrong"

Chthonic confesses: "Only last year did I discover why the lids of things in tubes have a recessed pointy bit built into them." Tell us about the facepalm moment when you realised you were doing something wrong.

Rawlplugs
When I moved in with my girlfriend (later to become my wife) she taught me about rawlplugs. Being taught by a lady hurt my masculinity a wee bit but she did have a point. Before that time I had always used nails to attach stuff to brick or concrete walls, usually destroying either the nail or the wall, occasionally both.

Oddly, I never questioned the validity of my approach back in the nails-on-concrete era. I was the Destroyer of Walls.

These days I use rawlplugs.

If you're still not using a drill then that would make you a god amongst men if you managed to get it to work even ONCE.

You can buy masonry nails
they are extra hard and work quite well.

Hilti nails go into everything including concrete

Awesome things, but not cheap
