Best anchors I've ever used. I bought a new home last year and have gone through two boxes of these already in hanging decor for the wife. The only time something has ripped out of the walls so far is where I didn't use these. I won't ever hassle with plastic anchors again.

Great anchors! I've installed hundreds of various types of wall anchors over the years and this type is my favorite. The self drilling aspect is for noobs. It's always best to drill a pilot hole, which allows the threads to do their job better and results in a cleaner finish. (although you will still need to sweep and vacuum around the baseboard or floor) As with any screw, select a drill bit that is ever-so-slightly thinner than the width of the core of the anchor. Drill your pilot hole in the exact spot where you need the anchor. Then screw the anchor in with a phillips head screwdriver. If you must use a powered driver (cordless drill), set it on low speed/torque and go easy on it. Tighten the anchor to the point where it just begins to cause a slight dimple in the surface of the sheetrock.

ProTip: If you think you're going to hit a stud, or you want to find an optimal place away from one, start with a very thin bit for a smaller pilot hole - this way if you are hitting the edge of the stud, you'll be more likely to land the anchor.

Why I gave it three stars: Item is titled "100 Pieces All Together" Why not just say it's 50 anchors? It takes an anchor and a screw to make one complete fastener. If you needed 100 mounting points, you'd have to buy two packs of this. Pitching it as "100 pieces all together" is not a lie - but it is lame and really only serves the seller.

Love it. Old school zip it's. Can't get at home depot any more. They sell the cheap one's made in China now. Shorter, less grab. Handy man for decades. Plus made in USA, good quality and works like they are suppose to. Now on will buy on Amazon this brand. Thank you!!!! Made my life easier, installation wise and shopping wise!!!!

Works well for hanging up my 50" tv and my guitar hangers. These things are SOLID.

I'd used some smaller drywall anchors here and there throughout the house that were less robust. And stuff kept wiggling out over time - it was frustrated and I felt like I was going to have to cut out drywall and do a patch.

So I looked for some big, no-nonsense anchors. I use these for everything. I don't care what it is, I drop one or two of these big anchors in and forget about it. They're not going anywhere, and they end up covered up anyway.
