Review on πŸ”© Optimal Drywall Anchors for Superior Drilling Experience by Kory Shelton

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Superior Quality and Durability

I've bought it many times and I'm always happy with it. I prefer these zinc anchors to plastic/nylon anchors mainly because they are less prone to breakage and can still be used if they do break. % actuation speed), use of gentle pressure, and use of an impact tool increases the likelihood of a successful installation and greatly reduces the likelihood of breakage. However if one of these breaks it doesn't matter, you can either drill a pilot hole or stick the dowel into the drywall until the first thread catches, I prefer to use a pilot hole. the tip suddenly breaks into the hairpin, blocking further advancement of the anchor. If you drill too fast or don't break the tip, the dowel will destroy the drywall. I would recommend not using them in studs at all, just using high quality cabinet screws, joists or whatever (as usual). If like me you have a thick 2-ply drywall (2 layers 5/8" acoustic and purple) I highly recommend using a 1/4" pilot hole as the tip may break when it reaches the second layer. The threads are already grabbing the top layer and pushing the anchor into the next layer at a speed that the tip cannot cut/drill at.

Pros
  • Kit includes 50 zinc anchors, 50 #8 x 1-1/4' Phillips screws and a plastic case. Supports loads up to 50 lbs. Packaging design may vary.
Cons
  • Very expensive
