Review on Expansion Anchor Stainless Lifting Anchors by Christopher Sullivan

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Good but not a snug fit

The diameter of this item does not fit any standard drill. So when I tried to use it in concrete it turned out to be sticky. I couldn't downsize the drill. I did my best. No hammer blows could knock him down. The only standard-sized bit he was able to penetrate with caused play in the hole. However, it seems to hold a very, very heavy mirror (probably around 200 pounds, I used two, one in each corner) but it's not as firm as it should be. It will tilt down under the weight of the mirror. I would have posted a photo but it's in the second house and I didn't do it. I will try to update later.

Pros
  • The flare is created by tightening a threaded bolt which draws a conical cone that expands the sleeve against the walls of the hole.
Cons
  • Small parts
