There are so many positive reviews about this product and it's quite odd that there are so many negative reviews as well. There is no easy way to install these anchors and often you will end up with one that is stuck in the wall that can't be removed or If you use the suggested 3/8" drill bit, the hole will be so tight that you'll have to hammer the anchor so hard that you'll almost certainly damage the soft metal of the nut or washer, and you'll also damage the screw The thread becomes damaged when you damage a bolt You will then be able to What it will look like is as follows If the anchor is stuck in purgatory forever, it will never be freed Neither of these will be possible because of the sleeve nor will you be able to properly tighten it since the bolt is turning It may be possible to grip the bolt with pliers while forcing the nut through the damaged threads, but the odds are not good.

My concrete basement wall is secure when I use this screw. About halfway, I repositioned when I realized I needed to stick another into the hole. Although it had not been fully inserted in the drill hole (let alone tightened), it took me 10 minutes of prying and hammering to remove the thing. I am very confident that these things are not.
A screw on the bottom. There is no point to these. As a result of the sleeve's easy bend and the stripping of the nut, the screw will fall out. In addition, if there is any friction, you will be unable to tighten or expand the sleeve as soon as you tighten the nut. Six of these caused me problems out of 15 that I installed. Make sure you shop, there are better ones made in Europe (it's worth the investment for a few millimeters).
We used a variety of these, some of which allowed the bolt to turn inside the casing, thus making tightening the nut impossible. As you already know, you cannot easily remove it and replace it with a new one once you have anchored it in the hole.
Useful and easy to operate. The hole should be a bit larger before you drill and then you should lightly hammer the whole thing in except for the nut on You can tighten the top like this until it no longer wants to move. The product is great.
I installed 3 gun safes without a hitch. They lock in and can be tightened up without any issues if you hammer them in.
These anchors were excellent and easy to use. The drilled holes should be plugged and the expanded well should be filled. A set of them was used to secure I highly recommend this book.
