Overview
A 200-piece zinc self-drilling drywall anchor kit, 100 #8 metal anchors paired with 100 one-inch screws, built for hollow-wall and sheetrock mounting without a separate pilot hole in most cases.
- 100 anchors and 100 one-inch screws
- #8 sized metal drywall anchors
- Reusable design after screw removal
- No pilot hole needed for most jobs
Who it's for
DIYers and light commercial users hanging items in drywall or hollow doors who want a metal anchor over plastic, and who are comfortable driving screws by hand or with a low-torque driver.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Reviewers consistently praise the no-pre-drilling installation and reuse on hollow doors for hooks and dispensers, several switching over from adhesive strips that had failed. The main caution repeated across reviews is that the anchors can be brittle, with recommendations to go slow, use a pilot hole, and favor a screwdriver over a power tool on the first drive.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Holds on hollow interior doors, not just drywall
- Reusable after removing the screw
- Low cost per anchor and screw pair
- No pre-drilling required for most installs
- Zinc can be brittle if driven too fast
- Hand-driven install goes smoother than a fast power driver
Performance notes
These anchors are designed to be driven in with a Phillips screwdriver or driver without a pilot hole, though one reviewer who used a 1/16 inch starter hole and a hand screwdriver reported the cleanest result. Once seated, the anchor stays in the wall and can be reused by removing and reinserting the screw, which is the main reason several reviewers moved away from adhesive hooks for the same jobs.
