Description of ๐Ÿ”ฉ Togglersnap Zinc Plated Channel Fastener

Toggle anchor installs behind 3/8"- to 3-5/8"-thick hollow materials including gypsum board, drywall, and concrete block to provide a secure hold from within the mounting material. Anchor affixes to the wall before adding the bolt and fixture, allowing one-person installation and fixture changes. Made in USA, and includes 1/4"-20 UNC-threaded bolts. Ultimate tensile strength is 265 lb. in 1/2" drywall and 1,080 lb. in concrete block with a 1/4"-20 UNC bolt. Use one-fourth or less of listed maximum values for safe working loads (as required by local regulations).

Great fasteners for cavity wall

the strongest cavity wall I've found faster. The only problem I had was trying to use them in a wall with closed foam insulation where the metal mount wouldn't rotate parallel to the wall, but I had a problem trying to use the standard cavity wall snap mounts to use. The difficulty with these particular fasteners arises from an installation that requires the threaded portion of the fastener to be rotated parallel to the wall (and then rotated perpendicular to accept the screw after it is fullyโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Ultimate tensile strength is 265 lbs for 1/2" drywall and 1080 lbs for concrete blocks with 1/4"-20 UNC bolts
Cons
  • Some small things

Get it right the first time.

Just reading other reviews it's easy to say that most if not all of the problems people had were 100% USER ERRORS. I have used in hundreds of projects. I work in hospitality so different materials are used for fastening and things of different weights are hung. .This is a common mistake that even many mechanics make. NEVER START A SCREW WITH A DRILL INTO A TAP. That's common sense. professional. I've had great success with this as long as common sense and know-how was used in the installationโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • I don't remember

Cheap, may cause a permanent "oops "

Easy to use, but the plastic you break off isn't strong enough. The bar on the back easily crosses the threads due to the cheaper design (which isn't a problem in most cases) and once it crosses the threads the plastic doesn't hold the metal bar enough to secure the screw. This results in the plastic having to be broken and the rod can fall onto the wall, causing the part to be lost. and left a mess in the walls (not visible but I know it's there, the perfectionist side bugs me). The secondโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Absolute Legend
Cons
  • High Price

Very Handy - Toggle Anchors

These are extremely strong and most versatile wall anchors I've found. They work in 3/8" thick drywall, but can also work up to 3 5/8" deep. It also requires a slightly smaller hole than standard screws. In my house, the walls are plastered with different thicknesses. In some places plasterboard was used with a metal lath and plaster on top, making the walls very thick, uneven and brittle. Standard nylon drywall anchors will not work. The wall breaks too much. The pivot bolts can be so longโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Dope ๐Ÿ”ฅ
Cons
  • Expensive
