Revainrating 5 out of 5

It's the only way out

I originally bought a pair of these from a large hardware store a few years ago and they connected very well to the dog collar. I recently hung a wire shelving closet system in my garage to add more storage, and when the hardware store didn't have them I rushed out and tried the "heavy duty" anchors they stocked. This turned out to be a big mistake! The replacements I tried required you to first drill a hole in the wall and then install the anchor. I didn't like drilling the 3/4" hole, but the biggest challenge was getting the anchor exactly positioned to line up with the holes in the post's support bracket. After filling holes due to this bug, I found them on Revain. and brought back to them. Because they have a pointed tip and dig themselves into the wall, they are easy to position correctly. The only problem I had was that a "switchable" part of one of the anchors got stuck and didn't "bounce back" once it was in the wall. But in this case you can extract the block by unscrewing it and replacing it. It also taught me to check each of the anchors before screwing them into the drywall to make sure the "switch" part could move freely (there's a little latch that holds it in place , and after you've verified it's loose you can gently slide the switch back under the latch and you're good to go) Overall, they're vastly superior to all other types of heavy-duty drywall anchors. .

Pros
  • Easy to use product
Cons
  • Ugly packaging
