Does mounting the board require the use of a drill? I can hammer a nail, but I can't use a drill...

I guess it depends on your wall material, but I used two small nails. It's tricky to get it straight to hang straight though.

I used two screws into my plaster wall, but I'm pretty sure I could have used nails. As long as you don't plan on physically hanging from it, you'll be good.

All you need is 2 nails and through the cork at the top and hange the board. Hope this helps.

It is held up by 2 mounting clips, it depends on your wall, if you have hollow drywall nails may not do it. Anything solid like wood nails will work.

You move the board. It takes a lot of practice, so get some scrap wood to work on before. you use your good stuff. Make sure you have a smooth surface to work on. Home Depot has laminated 2 foot by 4 foot boards. That would be a good surface.

This is a good question and one I wish I asked before I purchased this drill. The answer is yes, you can mount a drill but it's not from underneath the steel plate that comes with the unit. It's under the slots that make the X in the plate. I have mounted a vise to this drill pres but it is a pain and isn't easy to get lined up the way I want. I often check websites where people sell used tools trying to find someone with a broken press they want to off load cheap so I can take the table off of it. However, with that said, I love this drill. This is the only complaint I have about this drill press.

No additional hardware required but what comes in the box.Mounting tools required:-Scissors for cutting the cardboard mounting hole template.-Tape for holding the cardboard template in place while you mark/drill a marker hole.-Drill with drill bits (IMPORTANT; be careful your drill bit is not long enough to damage the outside of the truck bed when drilling).-File or grinding drill bit to remove excessive shaving for the hardware to sit flat.-Red or blue threadlocker/loctite for the hardware.-Wrench or Socket set for hardware.-And lots of elbow grease to drill the holes through the very hard metal plate.Good luck!

The board comes with a long strip of paper, which is labeled with where the holes need to be drilled. The holes must be big enough for anchor screws, which enable drywall to bear the weight of the board. You then screw the metal screws into the anchors, hang your board, and you're done!

You could try but peeling up the backing tape may peel up the finish on the board. I removed one to remount it and it was a chore, but my board is composite so it didn't hurt the finish, just the fingernails. Just get a suction cup mount with a floatie and tether and you're good to go brah.

You don't need to mount it to a stud. Mounting the bracket to standard thickness sheetrock is fine as long as you use mollies. This allows a lot more flexibility in terms of where you can locate the board and I've been mounting my boards this way for 30 years. Mollies with 30-50 lbs capacity are fine (use one for each of the 2 screws). You might want to consider using a back board, though, particularly if you or anyone else likely to use the board is a beginner (protects your wall !!). Good luck.

No, this is a finish nailer. I would use screws whenever possible as nails always back out

I actually did not use a drill bit--I used a router bit on a drill press. I used the stops on the drill press and lowered the base to make sure of depth. I also had the block of wood firmly secured to the base before drilling. FYI--I did work at NASA Langley, but that has nothing to do with working with wood!

I mounted my board using those Velcro stickers instead of screws so I wouldn't put holes in my wall and you can mount it either way then. They're very sturdy and that way I could take it off the wall when I need to.

Good morning, Debra. You may use other hardware than a nail to hang the item. Please check with your local hardware store for further information. Thank you, Sarah | HearthSong Customer Service

I mounted it to a 2x4 after I pre drilled the holes.... Very easy to do, but I couldn't use a drill just a small screw driver....

No drill is needed, just a screw driver. It was very easy to assemble. good luck!

yes you can just mount it with anchors, but depends on the house you live in and how heavy your equipment is :) You can also find a stud or mount it onto a board too :)

A Philips head screw driver to assemble it and a small drill bit or larger nail to poke a hole in the wallboard to mount it. You might want a level to make sure when mounting or have someone else stand back and say when they think it is level.I had no problem assembling it or mounting it.

There is a kit specific to your installation that does not require drilling or any heavy mechanical activity. The mount kit for my 2010 Tacoma bolted right on. Obviously the installation requires that you spend some time on your back, other than that it is an easy install. Hope this helps you. By the way I had a compliment the other day from a fellow Tacoma owner who was considering step boards that cost 3 times these. He said these looked much better and would order them. -Dave

Depending pm the surface you're mounting to. Brick requires a brick anchor like a red head wood just wood screws Hope that helps v
