1/2″ Titan threaded rod holder. 2500psi concrete.
This is a bolt that you just drill a hole and then screw into the concrete with an impact gun. It is designed to hold things like large electrical conduit tracks from concrete ceilings.

This bolt can easily suspend the full weight of my Dodge 1 ton dually.
