What Customers Are Saying

The drywall anchors are reported to have mixed performance. Some users found them easy to install and able to securely hold heavy items, while others experienced issues with the anchors stripping, breaking, or failing to grip the drywall properly, leading to damage. The quality and reliability seem inconsistent, with the metal being too soft or the threading not mating correctly in some cases, causing the anchors to spin or pull out.

Threading skips, does not function

Would Not Recommend

The threading from the screw to the anchor does not mate correctly. When you tighten the screw, it fails to actually collapse the anchor body at all, so they do not function at all.

Wasted time

Would Not Recommend

Those anchors are very poorly designed despite looking impressive. The tip where the screw goes through gets easily detached trapping the screw and not letting tighten it. You won't be able to unscrew it as well, the only way will be to cut it with a metal cutter to take the whole piece out.

Do not buy, does not work

Would Not Recommend

Absolute trash. Had bought these, thinking they may be more durable than plastic ones, but when I tried to turn the screw to engage the anchor, it just spun freely. Every anchor in the package was like this. The red plastic piece seen in the picture is not connected to the metal anchor, it just spins around on the screw. The metal anchor, also spins around on the screw, it's not tight, meaning no threads make contact. Think of a cheap metal cylinder, with a nail, that's about how useful the...

Junk - Don't waste your money

Would Not Recommend

The philips head slots stripped out when first trying tighten the screw. Either the steel material used to make the screw itself is too soft or the hollow wall anchor is defective. Three out of four proves bad quality. Save yourself time and money and find a different brand.

Size matters

Would Recommend

Good product but they don't advise what the thread size is. I needed an 8-32 and these are 6-32. Nothing a drill and tap couldn't cure. A better selection with different sizes would be very helpful. They have many drywall type screws for thick walls but very little for thin walls.
