Questions & Answers

Is it 50 bolts in total or 25 bolts plus 25 spring wings?

A total of 50 bolts and wings are available.

How long is this bolt's thread pitch?

The pitch is set to 0. 794 mm (0. 03126 inches is a measurement in inches. The bolt is 3" long (measured from under the head) with a 1/8" outside diameter and is known as a 6-bolt. 6 bolt size and 32 threads per inch = 32 machine screw. I hope you find this information useful.

Is there a Phillips head on these?

Yes. That was the case with the package that was sent to me.

What is the minimum size of the hole in the wall? I understand that a 5/8in hole in the wall is required for the 1/4in version of the bolt?

3/8" diameter hole

Everything is in place
5/5

It may appear that 1/4in is insufficient, but consider the following: No! I came across this video on YouTube. 200 lbs can be held in a quarter-inch hole. OK. So now I know what I'm going to buy. Use a 3/8-inch drill bit. OK. I had one on hand by chance. Who cares if it's masonry or not. The hole is in excellent condition. Make sure you don't collide with a pipe or (gasp!) a conduit. So make a small test hole and see what happens. Then, once the path is clear, remove the screw - For the time being, disregard the toggle. and squeezing it in all the way. Flush. Because that's exactly where it'll be - or something similar - after everything has been said and done Why? Tighten the toggle if there isn't enough open clear space for the screw to go all the way in. That is, if the screw bottoms out on the opposite interior wall or on something else, you won't be able to tighten it. So, what are my options? Remove the screw and cut it. All you'll need is a hacksaw. The Clippers will suffice. In either case, re-thread the screw by running the toggle back down it and removing it. Get it? After that, sew in the item (a plate, perhaps?). ) to be re-enacted, re-enacted, re-enacted, re-enacted Thread the toggle with a 1/4in screw extending (so the toggle doesn't get confused and slip/spin inside the wall), push it down the hole, feed bolt, hear the click as the toggle springs open, and apply appropriate counter-pressure. tighten down and apply pressure (so the toggle locks rather than just spins). Oops! What should you do if you forget to thread the plate fist? So, what are my options? Plan A: Cut the head off, install the plate, and replace the nut with one from a similar toggle set (yes, sacrifice it). It could possibly work. It's been accomplished by me. Plan B: Accept defeat, remove the screw, and let the toggle fall into the wall (no one but the termites will see it, right?). ) and begin the process from the beginning. This time, however, do it properly. OJT. It is said that practice makes perfect.

To fix microscopic heads, washers must be added
4/5

They do the job, but it's inconvenient to have to spend more time and money ordering washers.

The product is excellent, and the price is very reasonable
5/5

I bought a sample to see how they worked out before going out and buying 1000. For a fraction of the price, you can get the same (or better) quality as you would at Home Depot or Lowe's.

You'll be fine if you use it as directed, as long as you make sure your guide hole is properly sized and you drive straight; otherwise, you'll quickly discover that the metal is quite soft

Heads that are a tad on the small side
4/5

Toggles that work well. The heads on these bolts are almost too small to be useful, but washers come in handy when they're needed. I'd be a big fan if they had bigger heads. It has a lot of holding power and is quite large.
