These look like old fashioned lead anchors, but they are not !I've been working with assorted anchors for 50 years and got tripped up on these. I was looking for old fashioned split lead anchors for 3/8 bolt threads and thought these would suffice as they looked similar. In the old days, the length of the bolt was not critical because the excess length of the bolt would pass thru the anchor while expanding it. These anchors have a permanent plug which must be hammered in first to expand the anchor. This limits the screw thread length of the 3/8 bolt to only about 1/2 inch of penetration into the anchor. I was going to use this in brick for a wrought iron railing going down 6 steps. I would not trust this anchor. If your are using this anchor for a bolt which came with your device (hinges, TV mountings, etc.) you may be forced to cut and rethread the bolt. Thankfully I still have a good selection of old lead anchors, but I used all of my GOOD 3/16 and 1/2 inch bolt sizes. GRRRR !! ! ! One star if you are an oldtimer like me, 5 stars if you never used a good old fashioned split lead anchor.

These anchors are solid and hold very well when installed correctly. The missing but are the instructions. Prep: a. Inspect the anchor and insure it had a set pin (some in my bag didn't), however, the bag had a few more anchors than it was supposed to. Go one drill size smaller than suggested and it will work better. 1. Drill a hole to the same depth as the length of the anchor, maybe just a tad more, barely. 2. Use the set tool to expand and lock the anchor to the material. Didn't be afraid to really hit the set tool. These anchors are steel and need to be set. 3. For a 1" anchor, the bolt will only go into the anchor 1/2" do plan accordingly. Install the fixture and screw the bolt out screw in. If you did it all as described you'll have a solid anchor.

Good quality insert. Be aware that you don't have to buy or use the setting tool if you have the right size punch. The idea is simply to drive the internal wedge down to expand the bottom of the insert. Remember to use caution when drilling your holes. If the hole is even slightly oversized the insert won't expand enough to grip the sides of the hole. Also, keep the hole plumb or your stud will be at an angle.

Good quality as I used this to install an outside gate (it's a cheap plastic gate so I wanted to keep the option of changing it out in the future so this allows me to unscrew the bolt without drilling more holes later). You'll need to buy a drop-in anchor tool to get it to work properly; it will likely break or not work if you use a nail and screw to hammer it. This does not have a "lip" to catch the edge of your hole, so you will need to be careful how deep you drill your hole through masonry (some of the more costly versions has a lip).

Do not drill the hole the size they recommend, way to big in block or concrete. You also need to purchase the hammer in tool to make these work.

I suggest going smaller with the hole than they recommend. I drilled my holes to the recommend size and these would just drop in. I would set them and they would pull out without too much force. If I had it to do over again I would drill a smaller hole where I would have to hammer them in(not beat real hard). I ended up pulling mine out, installing new ones, and then using epoxy in the holes. Hold strong now.
