Review on πŸ”’ Ribbed Plastic Drywall Anchor Masonry: Secure your walls confidently by Tim Larsen

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The most versatile and user-friendly anchors I've ever used.

What I love most about these anchors is that my thin 3/16 flat head screwdriver can drill the exact size hole for these anchors in the drywall. I can easily drill a hole by twisting the head into the drywall, then flipping it over and inserting the dowel with the crank. Made for it. Next thing is that they actually work in foam. There were times when I had to tie whistles or bells to the foam. (You'd be surprised how many signs, siding, or walls are made out of styrofoam.) I usually have to hope the styrofoam hides some material I can attach something to, but sometimes it's nothing more than soap. Zippers don't work, latches don't work, but these anchors work great. Third, you can use them in masonry. Sometimes buildings are so old that the concrete becomes very hard. So using Tapcons will either drill a pilot hole (or rip their heads off trying to drive them in (even if you stick a piece of wire in the hole). Drill a 1/4 pilot hole, then insert this anchor , then you can Fix the anchor in the concrete cast in the 19th century In cases where you accidentally made the hole too big for the anchor by turning it with the screw screwed in. Pull the anchor out, use pliers to hold the anchor and screw the screw in a little (just until the dowel splits.) Then put the dowel in the hole with the screw and finish screwing the screw into the dowel, works in all materials.(Sometimes the hole in drywall is over drilled, you just have to flip the toggle switch) I can't use my company card to shop online, I can only use it for gas and parts Use from the supply or hardware store. Then buy these dowels out of pocket that nothing compares to them.
