Can concrete screws be taken out and then put back into the same hole?
A number of factors come into play when putting a concrete screw back in the same hole. These include: the type of base material, the quality of the initial hole and the quality of the tapped threads in the concrete before and after removal of the concrete screw. The answer is Yes- but the holding values will be lower and each fastener will be unique with respect to quality of holding values. In some cases, a Tapcon® screw may not have any holding values at all.
