Expired plugs? Use Until 2007

I am retired but have worked as a carpenter/joiner for many years and have often used a green dowel made to look just like this for use in drywall and concrete walls. The ones I used in the 70's and 80's worked fine in drywall. They are very rigid and not flexible, I remember those green anchors. This may be related to the expiry date on the lid of the "EXP 2007" packaging. I had no idea plastic dowels have an expiration date, but maybe they harden after a while. The seller does not indicate an expiry date in his offer. Softer ones will expand easily when driven into a 1/4" hole and will take a screw well. Haven't had a chance to use them to see how that might affect usage, but they are very tough and may not work in drywall.

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • Ugly Packaging
