I picked these up after buying half as many for twice as much at my local hardware store. They work the same way and the metal is what matters for holding stuff to the wall. Having a toggle that big on the other side of the drywall gives me comfort that I won't have fastener failures.They work by drilling a hole, putting the toggle in and latching it to the drywall like a zip tie. As soon as you have a screw in there the plastic becomes incidental as all the strength is from the metal to metal connection and toggle pushing up against the drywall. For that reason the plastic isn't built for long term repeated use.

These drywall anchors are a tougher material than we typically use. We use these anchors to mount TVs in metal stud wall applications. One issue we have had in the past is that they tend to crumble after they are exposed to heat. These are PLA-type of plastic that should hold up well. The flip side of this is that they may not snap off as well as one would hope, but they can be snipped off with a set of side cutters. All the bolts threaded in smoothly and did not bind. These are an excellent value and work well.

Got these for my husband to use to help him frame out the background for his metal peg board. His issue was the size of hole he would have to drill, the description of how much smaller the hole would be using these was a big factor in getting them. These are to be used in the garage where there isn’t much in terms of finding a stud as a starting point. With these he can now get the project done. I do see I have somewhere the plastic is yellow from age on the cap hole.

How do you fasten something to a sheetrock wall, if there isn't a convenient stud in the right place? Drywall isn't super strong, so something of any real weight needs an anchor that can spread out the force over a large surface area.Standard plastic anchors do this over a very small surface, providing enough strength for maybe a small picture, but larger items need more.Toggle bolts require a fairly large hole to be drilled in the drywall so you can shove the metal "butterfly" anchor through. They do work fairly well once installed, but the trouble is that their bolts are permanently mounted to whatever is on them. If you ever unscrew them, such as if you need to replace what they're holding up, then the toggle on the backside will fall down and get lost in the wall, leaving you with nothing but a big hole.These anchors address that problem in a somewhat effective, though finicky, way. Like toggle bolts, you have to drill a large-ish hole to shove the anchor through. Unlike toggle bolts, the anchor doesn't bend and expand - it's straight and flat, shoved through the hole in one piece, and then re-angled to be properly perpendicular using the plastic ratchet guides. Once in place, there's a plastic retaining nut on the outside to make sure the anchor stays in place, even when the metal bolt isn't present yet or has been removed.The tricky bit is that the plastic parts aren't intended to hold much weight, really just to keep the anchor in place until you've fully completed installation and mounting. This means they're quite delicate and can break easily. When that happens, of course, whatever's inside the wall gets list just as with a toggle bolt.I've found that it often takes several tries to get these installed right because the plastic parts are so fragile. However, they're still better than toggle bolts, and this set is less expensive than other similar anchors. So it's a reasonable and useful alternative.

I have a spot on the wall that my scre in anchors destroyed the wall and left me with some big holes.And I NEED to install a shelf using the exact anchor points. The only way to use screw in anchors again would have been me cutting out a bigger piece of drywall, and patch it. Re-screw the anchors, which is stupid for such a small project.I have always want to try out this type of zip in snap off anchor. So just in case I need a strong one, I got the 3/16inch set and it didn't disappoint.It fit into the hole and I just need to snap off the tail. And screw in the bolt.I did a small test, 2 anchors, it is rock solid.I hung about 60lbs of stuffs on hook on that shelf, it did not move a bit.I will sure be trusting this product with my future projects

Exactly what I needed. I mounted my 75" TV to the wall with these bad boys. 2 lag bolts to the stud and i think 4 or 6 of these anchors and it hold it just fine. It would've probably held with 2 lags and 2 anchors but I over do all my mounting and building honey do's

Do not purchase these. I tried to save money by buying the least expensive toggle bolt I could find, absolutely got what I paid for. Cheap crap manufactured overseas. Description isn’t accurate on size or load so I tore up my drywall for no reason. Don’t make the same mistake I did.

These are so much better than the plastic screw in anchors that come with most products. They're only going to be as strong as the drywall (best option always is to find a stud) but the design is much more robust and has a ton more bearing surface than the anchors that only try to expand inside a crumbly hole.
