How to hammer nail into concrete wall.

If necessary tap in lightly with a hammer. Be careful not to bend the nails as you drive them. Drive the masonry nails directly into concrete walls with a hammer. Reposition the board over the pilot holes aligning the board with the marks on the floor.

Hardwall hangers are picture hooks intended specifically for difficult surfaces like concrete block and brick walls. The plastic hook attaches to the wall with small metal nails that pound into the wall surface with a hammer. Insert the concrete screw into the anchor and drive into the wall until secure. Insert concrete or masonry nails into the holes and drive them flush to the surface of the wood using a framing hammer.

Proper masonry nails or concrete nail are specifically designed to withstand the pressure of being hammered into a hard set surface. These hooks can support up to 25 pounds and can be pried from the wall when they are no longer needed. Use at least a two pound hammer. If the nail stops before its head reaches the surface no amount of pounding will.

Masonry nails should penetrate the surface of the concrete wall to a depth of 3 4 to 1 inch for a solid hold. Remove any concrete dust then press the anchor into the hole until it is flush with the surface. A heavy hammer will give the right amount of power and leverage behind it and create the exact force needed for the nail to penetrate the concrete.
