BOLT DROPPER wedge anchors are the only fasteners you will ever need to keep your applications secure and withstand the tests of time.
Bolt Dropper wedge anchors are solid stainless steel. No exterior finish, no coatings, nothing but the finest 100% 18-8 (304) stainless steel. You'll never have to worry about the "stainless steel coating" chipping because there is none!
Hate rust? Yeah, us too! That's why Bolt Dropper washers are made with Marine Grade stainless steel. Use them on your saltwater dock, your mountain home patio or anything else. Not only will you have that bright shiny stainless look, it will last! No rust stains.
Bolt Dropper always includes (1) nut and (1) washer for each wedge anchor in the pack for your convenience. We also sell washers and nuts separately if you need more!
Bolt Dropper is a proud American company offering only the finest quality products. Not only are our fasteners dependable, but we are as well. All of our fasteners are used by a wide range of customers, from contractors to hobbyists. We go the extra length to ensure our customers receive exactly what they want and stand by our products. Any questions, just ask!
Wedge Anchors provide the highest and most consistent hold of all types of expansion anchors. They are inserted into a pre-drilled hole in concrete and when tightened, the bottom portion wedge expands, locking the anchor in place. They are excellent for attaching cleats to concrete seawalls, finishing a basement, securing a lamp post and more!
Stainless Wedge Anchors not what you're looking for? Not to worry, Bolt Dropper offers an expansive selection of screws, nuts, washers, zip ties and more!

I have not used this particular type of anchor bolt before, although I have used a few of the full length sleeve bolts (which require a bigger hole for a smaller bolt due to the sleeve). But I installed several fence posts with base plates, and so I am now a fairly experienced user. This is what I learned:1. Using a hammer drill is a must for drilling the holes in concrete, but hopefully you know that.2. Drilling straight up and down can be a problem, as sometimes you think you are, when really you are not. I'm not sure exactly why, but if the bolts due not go in plumb, then it is way more likely you will have problems with the bolt not grabbing so it can be tightened. I mostly solved this problem by gluing one of the little leveling bubble disks (available on Amazon) on the back of my drill. I was amazed at how often I thought I was holding the drill straight, but the bubble said no.3. Its smart to drill the hole a little deeper than you think it needs to be. Way better to over-drill than to have a hole to short. Once you hammer the bolt in, there is no retrieving it. Also under-drilling can provide a place for concrete dust to settle, which can stop the bolt short if not completely cleaned out.4. I noticed one reviewer said he had to continue to hammer on the bolts sometimes to get them to set so that they would not spin when trying to tighten the nut. With this type of bolt, this is the exact opposite of what to do. The expansion ring at the bottom will expand and grab ONLY when the bolt is pulled upward. So banging away with the hammer does nothing (except increase the risk of damaging some threads). If the bolt spins instead of gripping, the trick is to take a small pry bar or your claw hammer and yank sharply upward on the bolt with the nut in place. This quickly raises the bolt, expands the ring, and should set the bolt sufficiently to allow tightening the nut. If not try it again. I would say this trick works 90% of the time.5. You will want to drive the nut/bolt combination lower than you finally want it to be. This is because the bolt will raise as you tighten the nut (probably a 1/4" or more) until the expansion ring firmly sets, and you probably don't want the bolt ends projecting way above the nut once you are done.6. And finally, I invested in a package of stainless steel lock washers to go over the flat washer that comes with the system. Without the lock washer, there is really nothing to keep the nut from loosening over time, especially if there is any kind of vibration or movement (such as from wind load on a fence or expansion and contraction due to temperature changes). This is cheap insurance.It took me setting several bolts before all of the above became very apparent to me. Hopefully you can figure it out a little quicker now.

Used these anchors to anchor down a inground pool railing on my concrete deck. Excellent fit and look. Been 5 months no rust or any discoloration. Would buy these again.

I use the bolts for a strong connection between 2x4 bottom plates and a concrete slab. Using these anchors work much better, (i.e. stronger) than direct connect screws such as Tapcon. And I'm expecting they are very corrosion resistant.

They were easy to drive in to the hole and when I tightened the nut they held firm. No more wobbly fence post. Used them with the post brackets they sell here that came with metric wedge anchors. I drilled a 1/2" hole in the concrete and the original metric anchors were not working. These did the trick and now I can finish the rest of the fence.

These are nice, strong stainless wedge anchors. I used these to secure my flag pole bracket to a solid concrete wall. Had used tapcons and those plastic wall anchors before, both times the bracket came down after a few months.Bought the 1/4" 2-1/4" anchors, used a 1/4" concrete bit with a hammer drill, drilled 1.25" deep holes. Used only 2 anchors to secure the bracket (top left and bottom right) I did have to slightly increase the opening of the holes on my flag pole bracket using 1/4" drill bit. Hammer them in, but the bracket on, screw on nuts and tighten down. Simple and strong!
