What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise these concrete screws for reliable, strong performance in masonry applications. Reviewers consistently report they hold firmly in concrete, brick, and cinderblock for mounting cameras, speakers, lamps, and vents, eliminating the need for toggle bolts. Many highlight quick, straightforward installation—the screws tap directly into masonry without separate anchors. Some note the included drill bit wears out quickly or arrives dull, recommending a higher-quality bit. A few report issues with improper installation or unsuitable substrates causing failure. Overall, most customers find them dependable and worthwhile for permanent masonry installations.

Trick screws

Would Not Recommend

If you think these will go through concrete think again. Unless you decide on using a sledge hammer these aren't going through much more than cardboard.

Complete set

Would Recommend

For the price, you get all you need. The drill bit didn't last long enough for 75 screws, but it was cost effective versus buying separately.

Work GREAT!!

Been using them since we moved in almost 30 years ago. Fully charged hammer drill is the trick. Don't push it, let the bit do the work. I have both 3/16 and 1/4. If I get the drill bits confused I have trouble as 1/4 won't fit in a hole for a 3/16 and a 3/16 just floats in a 1/4 hole. If I know it's s permanent install I give the hole a squirt if adhesive before I put the screw in.

Save Yourself the Headache

Would Not Recommend

These cheap screws snap with the slightest amount of shear. Horrible. I’ve gone through three already in a single pack.
