Review on πŸ”© National Hardware N260-146 Aluminum by Radney Taala

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The spike hardware seems good, but I'm not sure I would trust the screws that come with it.

. It's very easy to hang everything straight if you know at least a little about home projects. The only reason I removed the sprocket is for the included brackets. These contained screws with a much larger thread pitch than usual and are meant to be general purpose screws for drywall, concrete and everything in between. They seem to be able to hold up in concrete and wood, but I don't think they will hold up securely in drywall, especially with a 100lb weight rating attached to the brackets. If I were installing into drywall I would use a good quality toggle bolt or other high strength anchor that you are comfortable with. The hoop is 12 inches wide, allowing you to install an anchor in the post in most cases. For concrete I would use a TapCon or other special concrete bit. These included screws appear to be a jack of all trades and unrivaled fasteners. I'd swap them out for more specific hardware if you get close to the 100lb spike limit. Of course, but the item you hang must be at least 0.5cm thick. Some items (e.g. small mirrors) do not meet this requirement.

Pros
  • . New
Cons
  • . Slightly torn.
