Review on Zinc Plated Channel Fastener Fasteners - SNAPTOGGLE Toggler by Carlos Deuschle

I bought a box of 100 and I'm glad I did. You can see a variation in the quality of the thread in the tapped hole. Be sure to screw the bolt into the hole from the back BEFORE inserting it into the hole, then remove the bolt and then insert this cup into the hole as instructed if the threaded hole can be used. This allows you to ensure that the threads in the hole are even. When I first tried to use them, I just stuck them in the hole, tried to screw the bolt in, and the bolt twisted, or stuck, or just wouldn't start, and a piece of threaded metal just twisted. at the end of the screw. In this case, sometimes the only option is to cut off the screw head, hammer the part that is still in the wall back into the wall and insert another anchor. Due to the issues above, I needed 24 of these anchors to make the first 8 holes. . Probably 50% of these anchors have threads that are not smooth or regular and require initial screw insertion as I described above. With some of them it is very difficult to just put the bolt in the hole from the back. It's probably not just the fault of this company that makes these anchors, as the screw manufacturers seem to have a lot worse thread quality than they have in years past, but when you combine the two problems, the user of these things feels pain. great product concept and works great when everything in your project is optimal. If you can't get them to sit flat against the wall before snapping off the plastic extensions, you're going to have trouble getting the screw into the hole. This can have several causes if the drill pushes out any part of what you are drilling when there is insulation in the wall (this was a big problem, the insulation can either get under the metal part and prevent it from lying flat inside the wall, otherwise it may get into the thread area). If you have a hollow wall with no contents these are great if you can push the metal piece evenly against the inside. Wall. It's easy to tell if it's flat in the hole as the two white plastic pieces are even at the ends, but you can still have something flexible in the wall that will tip the metal piece over once you start tightening the screws. If you have more than one screw through a piece of metal, I find it best to try to tighten them all evenly, taking turns, rather than tightening one at a time.
