What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise these screws as the strongest and most reliable concrete anchors available, with exceptional holding power that lasts for years in concrete, brick, and cinderblock applications. Many highlight their ease of installation and consistent manufacturing quality without head stripping. Reviewers emphasize the corrosion-resistant black finish and secure fastening without excessive force. While most stress proper installation technique—correct hole size, debris removal, and avoiding impact drivers—some report reduced effectiveness in crumbly cinderblock or poorly prepared surfaces. A few note higher pricing, though most consider it worthwhile. Overall, customers regard these as the gold standard for concrete anchoring.

Impact Driver snaps the head off

Would Not Recommend

Was using these to anchor to a brick wall. Drilled the specified hole in both brick and in mortar. Tried to install using a Dewalt Impact Driver. Three times I had the head break off when the screw was about 75% of depth. Stopped trying and threw the rest away.

Nice bolts to use in the concreate

I used them to hold down the screen room on concrete; I was nice to put the in with a socket. I did brake one, but I think I did not drill deep enough first.
