The anchor hole size is the diameter of the hole that you drill for the anchor. It was easy to tell that they were very old and stiff after I bought the 1/4" green ones. A more flexible approach is needed. There was an expiration date of 2007 on the

How can I tell if a wall anchor is expired? The year 2007 has ended
4/5

When I worked as a carpenter for many years, I would often use green anchors that looked just like these for wall construction with sheetrock and concrete. My old ones worked well in drywall back in the 70s and 80s. They're very hard and rigid -- not pliable at all as I remember green anchors to be. I think the "EXP 2007" date on the package cover may be linked to the expiration date. In this seller's listing, there is no mention of the expiration date. Perhaps the anchors harden over time after they are exposed to sun. I didn't realize plastic anchors could expire, but maybe they harden over time. Those with a softer texture would expand a little when pounded into a 1/4" hole and might accept a screw. They are very hard so might not work well in drywall - I haven't used them yet so I can't say. But I doubt that they will work in foam insulation.

Installed concrete ceilings in my home
5/5

I used them in a concrete ceiling and they worked well. The description gives you the size of the drill bit to use - thanks for that! I am satisfied with the result. The hooks were used to hang a plug-in light that connected to the wall but connected to the pendant part of the light via a cord that went across the ceiling. I suspect the green size would be appropriate for most screw sizes (for those who are less familiar with the various screw sizes). I expected white ones to be a lot bigger than they were.

In a 6mm hole, it holds well
5/5

I liked it a lot. You tap these into a 1/4 inch or 6 mm hole in a tile after drilling a hole in it. This is necessary when mounting something on tiles. You can now screw in a screw. I am happy with how my bathroom blinds are holding up. There will often be more depth in these than the whole consisting of them. Simply take a putty knife or painter's tool and place the edge against the base of the anchor where it comes out of the tile. Tap it a couple of times with a hammer to make it Please be patient - Easier said than done.

The process of cracking
3/5

There are inaccuracies in the size. There have been no communications from the I would not recommend buying. There is no use for these and they are This is a small, brittle piece of plastic that is too small. This seller has made me so frustrated. A message was sent to them but they failed to reply. In any case, I have already left the country and will need to purchase something in the metric system in order to replace these supplies. I find this terrible. I would not recommend buying.

The deck screw number 6 fits perfectly in this holder
5/5

My search for the perfect product was over. The installation process is easy Drilling a 1/4" hole and gluing it in is all it takes. The deck screw size is easily adapted to 1 5/8". There were a few that I had to cut off because they didn't seat deeply enough, but that was probably.

The anchor is great
5/5

Locally, I have not been able to find them. It was a sturdy fastening device that I used to use a lot when I was an electrician. I'm glad I've reconnected with them once again.

I am happy with it
5/5

Big box stores offer the same thing, but for a lot less. Instead of 10, I was able to order 100 instead of 15 or 10. In terms of quality, there is no difference.

Can you tell me why? They are what they say they are for craps sake
5/5

There is either a relationship between you and them, or they aren't. The fault is not theirs if they choose not to.
