These anchors are great. The screws that come with are great. I think a lot of the negative reviews can be misleading. These anchors are strictly for drywall only. If you try them on wood or they hit a stud, they will break. They are not meant for anything other than drywall. I believe someone also said the screws dont fit, but that is not the case either. The screws fit perfectly, they just wont screw in easily with your hand. You have to use a screw driver and be somewhat forceful. The screws will hang on more tightly. I used my anchors to hang a large shelf for nail polish. The thing weighs well over 50lbs nailpolish included. I originally wanted 4 of the anchors. But the bottom 2 I messed up on. One hit a stud, which I checked for, and the one above that went in fine, but the second I hit the stud it was broken. And the one next to it on the bottom, was the first one I did and I drilled it in too quickly on accident and it went straight through the drywall and I heard it fall into the wall. So now the over 50lb shelf is hanging on my wall with just two anchors and they arent going anywhere. Tips: 1. Double check for studs. If you hit one you arent going to have a good time. 2. If using a power drill, be gentle, be slow. These are strong anchors against drywall. They will eat into that drywall with the ease of poking a hole in a piece of bread. 3. Dont use these on anything but drywall. They are drywall anchors. 4. Accidents happen. Have some spackle handy.Read more

I wish ALL drywall anchors went in like this. The plastic style ones are such a pain, trying to drill just big enough to tap in without them bending on the way in/or being just slightly too big a hole so that when you put a screw in, they fall inside the wall! Ugh! I do wish this had a smaller self-screw point to begin with, because its hard to get these started, but once into the drywall, they screw the rest of the way easily and stay super firm. I never worry at all about anything falling off the wall, even super heavy items. If you hang a lot of things, have moved, etc. – I definitely recommend these! When I ever run out, I will order more.Read more

Garbage. I am updating my review. The tips break off easily. Then they make the hole in a way they easily come out. Oh, and I had to predrill small holes to get them going! AND YES they were used on dry wall and I did not hit any studs thank-you.Read more

Like many other reviewers here, I had over half of these break the tips off as I attempted to get them into the dry wall. No there were no studs behind them. I was careful, tried pre-drilling and screwing by hand to not over-torque them. I think I know why these happen – I noticed these are made in China, and from my experience having our products manufactured over there, it’s very common for the factories to make tiny adjustments that they don’t their customer about, to use less material in order to save a tiny amount of money on raw material costs. I can only assume that in this particular case, the material is cheaper and the thickness has been reduced right to the borderline of not-working to lower the amount of material required to make. It’s frustrating – the tips break, and you have use needle-nose pliers to extradite them and attempt again. A couple just tore up the drywall to the point of usability. The jobs I did took much longer than they should have to install. When they do work, they work ok – much better than plastic anchors, but I question the claimed 50 pound rating.Read more

See my pix. First you must predrill a hole or they bend. Note tip of the one in my hand in Pic 1 Then, 2nd: even with pre-drilling they will still break off in hole. Pic 2. I’ve no idea how to get that out of there. And nope, not a stud behind it, the stud is 3 inches over. Pic 3 – Even the ones that sink correctly take out a huge amount of drywall around it…. Great and now I see they don’t allow pix on this review. of course not.Read more

Awesome! A glass shelf was falling off the wall at a family member’s apartment and the landlord just said it was that way when they rented and it wasn’t possible to repair. Seriously. I could see the problem was the dry wall anchor hadn’t expanded properly. I decided to fix it for them myself. This metal anchor has a slightly larger diameter and snugged up nicely when installed. This meant a shelf that wouldn’t fail AND no drywall repair or paint touch up! – Worth it to buy the right part and this is it. If it is possible to love a wall anchor, this is the one you will love. Pros: So simple and easy to use Heavy duty Sized to replace most plastic anchors Cons: NoneRead more

These are great for all over the home. For a while was avoiding hanging items in my new place like the plague. Had stacks of shelves and posters ready to go up – soon as these arrived, I could not have hung more items. They’re great for both lightweight and heavier items. Sturdy, easy to install and very easily drill in to be flush with the wall. Wish I had know about these in previous apartment living situations!Read more

I bought 2 sets of these because I kept finding more uses for them; great alternative to all of the other drywall anchors on the market. Simple to use, self tapping, no drill needed except if you run into a stud.Read more

I would have been better off with just regular standard drywall anchors, but then again there’s something really wrong with the drywall in my apartment building. Everything I screw into it causes the wall to crumble around the screw, so I ended up having to fill the hole with a tube of some spackling filler and sticking the anchor in while it’s wet and wait for it to dry around the anchor. The wall doesn’t crumble when I put nails in, but screws turn it into sand for some reason. The anchor itself works okay. Is the end of it supposed to break off? Because it did half way into the wall with the 2 anchors I used. I’m guessing it isn’t supposed to break off until you put the screw in. The fact that the end broke off didn’t really stop me from being able to screw it in anyways with the crumbling drywall.Read more

I would give zero stars if could! Absolute garbage! Ripped right out of the wall right after I installed them, now I am left with huge holes in the drywall, which renders it useless. I am so angry what a waste of time, now I have another project to fix the gaping holes in my drywall because of these useless anchors.Read more

One of them broke while I screwed it into the wall, hence the four stars but overall these were easy to use! I did make pilot holes before screwing them in, but I’m sure with some force you could do it without drilling a hole. I would recommend these over plastic anchors for sure.Read more

These are great anchors, I found that a couple of them didn’t thread with the screws provided though, maybe a casting issue. But they where few and far between.Read more

This is the only type of drywall anchor I will ever use again. I bought this product and one like it in plastic and I’ve used both. Honestly, you can’t go wrong. These drywall anchors are so much better in every way from the cheap little peg type drywall anchors.Read more
