re: Bolting a gun safe into concrete

I bolted my air compressor to the slab in my shop. I bought a concrete bit that was shite so I took a piece of 1/2 re-bar ground the tip like a blunt tip arrow head. I took a 1 lb maul and hit it and turned hit it and turned then drilled until I got deep enough to set my anchors in the concrete. You will have to bust through the rocks in the concrete they wouldn't drill for me.
I believe I bought 3/8" anchors. Buy top quality anchors the ones I bought were cheap and bent easy but they worked.
Edit: I don't own a hammer drill........

Your man card is set for life, SIR!
Redheads anchors are the norm in industry... to the OP. (I recomend a drill, instead of offshore's awesome submission!)
EOT: (1 pound maul? That makes it even more awesomer!)
