Claim 0:
1. A method of providing an adhesive cured concrete or stone anchor system, the method comprising:
forming a perforation in a cured concrete or stone material;
rotationally and axially impact driving a working tool along a rotational axis aligned with a longitudinal axis of the perforation and wherein the working tool is defined by a body having at least one projection extending in a radial direction from the body a distance that is greater than a diameter of the perforation formed in the cured concrete or stone material to form at least one channel in a radially inward directed surface of the perforation formed in the cured concrete or stone material that faces the perforation by cutting cooperation of the at least one projection with the inward directed surface of the perforation as the working tool is rotationally and axially driven into the perforation and such that a majority of the at least one channel has a radius that is greater than a smallest radius associated with an exterior surface of the cured concrete or stone material about the perforation;
extracting the working tool from the perforation by rotating the working tool in an opposite rotational direction while axially translating the working tool in a second axial direction that is opposite the first axial direction while the at least one projection is engaged with the at least one channel;
disposing an amount of an adhesive in the perforation; and
placing an anchor in the perforation such that the anchor is offset in a radially inward direction from the radially inward directed surface of the cured concrete or stone material along a length of the anchor that is inboard of the exterior surface of the cured concrete or stone material.
