Although I've had great success with this dowel in the past, this product is like any other and wasted time and damaged walls. Varying quality plastics and will either melt or snap in half when drilling 3/8" drywall, or the included screws will get stuck halfway into the installed "anchor" causing the anchor and screw to rotate as a unit . I ended up having to remove and discard the anchors and then use Simpson Strong-Tie Flip Toggles in place of the 1/2 holes the ruined anchors left on my newly painted and putty walls for our lightweight Curtin rods remodeled and rated at 125lbs each reviewed but solved the disaster these anchors caused. Just my two cents and a warning to anyone not wasting their time.
