Has anyone specified this product or seen it used on projects? I'm just wondering what others think of it.
I saw the add in a magazine and was curious, so I went to the website to understand the product. The presentation comparing this to an anchor rod with a sheet metal stand claims that the ChubbySmack breakout cone is "much larger than the conventional anchor...without increasing the concrete depth." However, the breakout cone graphic that they show hardly qualifies as "much larger" in my opinion.
The last slide shows a close up comparison of the two anchors. The starting point for the breakout cone is at the edge of the ChubbyNut. But since the rod and nut are threaded into the SmackChair, wouldn't the cone start at the edge of the chair since it appears to be fairly rigid?
