I had it lightly secured to the wall with a belt, but then I started worrying: “Will drywall really hold?” <\/strong>
Once you do it right, you’re set for the long haul.

Turn worry into peace of mind. Man, I wish I could go back ten seconds\u2026
Before you think that, let’s do a quick safety check! (*\u00b4\u03c9\uff40*)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today’s handy tip: Factory safety log<\/strong><\/span><\/div>
\n

Target this time:<\/strong> TIG welding 7000L (7 cubic meter) argon gas cylinder<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fear I was holding:<\/strong> I vividly imagined this massive high-pressure gas cylinder toppling over during a violent earthquake, and the anxiety was so intense I could barely sleep at night (or so it felt). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solution:<\/strong> I combined the concrete screw anchors **”Tapstar”** that performed brilliantly recently with a sturdy steel stand (or extra-thick chain), and permanently bolted everything to the factory floor! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The result:<\/strong> No matter how hard I shake it by hand, the cylinder won’t budge\u2014I’ve achieved rock-solid anchoring. Now when the next big earthquake hits, there’s zero chance this bottle will turn into a rocket! <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Not as robust as you’d hope for the price<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The steel quality is decent, the paint job is solid, and for this price with free shipping, it’s unbeatable. <\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If it’s cheaper to buy than to build, why not just buy it? (*\u00b4\u03c9\uff40*)
It’s lighter than I expected. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Don’t sweat the small stuff\u2026
The chain was stuck from the paint job, so I had to pry it loose.
Maybe I should swap it out for a belt later\u2014would that be quieter? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If an earthquake could snap this chain, Japan would be finished anyway\u2026
Probably. We’d have bigger problems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two chains, top and bottom. They come with carabiners, which is perfect. (*\u00b4\u03c9\uff40*)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The plate has four pre-drilled holes, making installation a breeze.
I’ll drill four more and lock it down permanently. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vertical or horizontal? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I ended up going vertical.
This way I save floor space, and I figured I could attach a board to the back of the stand for storing long materials.
Once I start second-guessing myself like this, the deliberation never ends. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tapstar and the hammer drill are absolutely amazing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Makita hammer drill and Bosch X5L combo with Tapstar is unbeatable. &You can punch strong threads exactly where you want them, smooth as butter.
It’s just too convenient.
Seriously. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
