- Stud finder
- Tape measure
- Screwdriver

Step-by-Step Installation Guide
1. Find the Right Location: Choose a suitable wall for your TV mount. Consider factors like viewing height and proximity to power outlets. Use a stud finder to locate metal studs within the wall.
2. Mark the Mounting Bracket: Once you've identified the metal studs, hold the mounting bracket against the wall at your desired height. Use a level to ensure it’s straight, and mark the drilling points with a pencil.
3. Drill Holes: Using the Razor Sharp Titanium drill bit, drill holes into the marked points. The drill bit is compatible with any drill, making it easy to create precise holes for the Elephant anchors.
4. Insert Elephant Anchors: Insert the Elephant anchors into the drilled holes. These anchors are designed to provide superior support for your TV mount, especially when dealing with metal studs.
5. Attach the Mounting Bracket: Align the mounting bracket with the anchors and secure it in place using a screwdriver. Ensure everything is tight and secure to prevent any movement.
6. Attach the TV: With the help of a friend, lift your TV and align it with the mounting bracket. Depending on the design of your mount, you may need to slide the TV onto the bracket or use screws to secure it.
7. Adjust the Tilt: Once the TV is mounted, adjust the tilt to your preference. The CondoMounts mount allows for up to 10 degrees of tilt, which can help reduce glare and enhance your viewing angle.
