The Best Lifesaver in Fasteners

I wish I knew about this sooner. I use it for a towel rail in the bathroom and a curtain rod in the house. A big problem is that you have to make a big hole for them to go through, but I can't do that until it holds my poles.

Pros
  • Build Quality
Cons
  • Appearance

NOT THE SAME 1/8 INCH SOLD BY LOWES

THIS IS NOT THE SAME HILLMAN 1/8 BOLT SOLD BY LOWES; HEAD ON SCREW IS ABOUT HALF THE 1/8 INCH DIA. SOLD AT LOWES; HAS VERY LIMITED APPLICABILITY WITH SUCH A SMALL HEAD EVEN WITH A WASHER

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Many things

Not perfect but works

Screws feel cheap and flimsy. Several guard locking leaves are stuck in the closed position or jammed. I had one where it got stuck and wouldn't open while in the wall. I had to remove everything and redo with a new screw. While this is a good price I should have bought something more durable and consistent.

Pros
  • Great Price
Cons
  • Null

Terrible Quality - Toggle Wings slip off bolt threads.

I'm a fan of cavity wall wrenches, so I ordered them to hang some wire shelves in my AirBNB. Unfortunately, about 50% of them were defective. Either the bolt threads are too small or the wing threads are too large. However, the defective slipped and did not hold as intended. I ended up having to test each pair first, but I finally gave up and bought a box from Home Depot. Don't buy this.

Pros
  • Weight

You will need a 7/16 bit for the 3/8 " drill

Be sure to use a 7/16 bit with a 3/8" shank for a regular 3/8". -Drill to buy if you use this one. Lever screws are best for hanging showers and towel rails, as regular drywall anchors won't work. They are very useful when the weight of the item you are placing/hanging is large enough or when you want to provide stability in a wall. However, keep in mind that if the stress is too high, these too will loosen and cause even more damage than loosening and/or removing a drywall anchor.

Pros
  • Handy Item
Cons
  • Quick Start Guide

Las mariposas se traban

Compre estos anclajes pensando que resultsarian practicos y efectivos como los habia comprado en Home Depot, pero que sorpresa me lleve al ha resultar que las mariposas que entra en la paren loy se abren loy del todo bien, recordemos que este anclaje funciona con un tornillo y una tuerca en forma de mariposa quecuando esta entra en la pared se abre para no permissionir que el tornillo suelte el objeto que esta aguantandopero estas que compre las orejas de las tuercas de mariposas no se abren…

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Some little things

For drywall use this style

I have tried other types of fasteners in the past to attach things to drywall. They always seemed to fall out if I breathed too hard on them. I've also had a few that actually broke and didn't expand like they should when you tightened the bolt. On the other hand I'm very happy with these screws :D Well since you need to drill a hole big enough for these "wings" to go through when folded (3/8 inch in this case) that means that you will end up with a hole larger than the screw diameter. You may…

Pros
  • Comes with spring loaded wings
Cons
  • Unsure

The toilet paper holder is attached to the wall again. Very strong.

(2017) This little switch was sent from God. My son ripped a toilet paper holder off the wall and our contractor said the hole was too big to fix. He said I would have to putty, sand and paint. Well, there's no way I want to do that with a new wall. So I used the Hillman switch to fix the problem. It worked like a charm. super easy! toilet paper holder back. The switch is super strong. Great little invention, thanks Hillman. Well fast forward to 2019 and I still haven't uploaded my 2017 recap…

Pros
  • Slotted pan head machine screw
Cons
  • Some bugs

It works great! Doesn't look cheap to me.

I mainly use a 1/8" pry bolt and wing nut to attach towel rails, towel rings and a wall coat rack that accepts drywall. The lever-lock bolt and nut option is the best fastening system for wall panel attachment. I used to use plastic drywall anchors (which suck) and then self drilling anchor bolts. The elements I installed began to loosen. My toddler ripped a towel ring out of the wall that was attached with a self-drilling lever anchor. I use 1/8 inch because it requires the smallest hole of…

Pros
  • Heavy duty pry bolt, ideal for hanging items on a cavity wall
Cons
  • I don't remember
