Hard-to-Find Fastener 014973239053 Expandet Screw Anchors, 1/4 x 1-1/4, Piece-100

THESE SEEM TO BE THE SAME GREAT ANCHORS I USED IN THE 1960s. DRILL WITH A 1/4 INCH MASONRY BIT, HAMMER IT IN, AND THE SCREW GRIPS INTO IT WITH NO SLIP AND NO TURNING OF THE ANCH0R. THE ANCHOR DOES NOT PULL OUT EASILY. GREAT PRODUCT. I HAVE A BOX FULL OF OTHER ONES THAT DO NOT WORK.

I’ve found this design (with traction from end to end) works much better than the standard cheap designs (with traction circular) that are typically available at local stores, especially in concrete and tile, as the others turn inside the hole, and they typically have a lip that leaves a gap when attempting to mount something flush to the wall. These eliminate those flaws.

these really are the best Masonry / concrete anchors, and I've used many different types. I definitely like the little guide for your bit size as well as the screw size that's part of the plastic grid that holds the anchors. In my case I'm usually mounting into brick masonry in a humid environment so I have to use very good anchors. Don't forget you can cut these shorter if necessary (ie if its a light load or need shallow depth). i do wish they made a smaller diameter size as well.

I don't know why these are so hard to find, but, they hold so much better than the common, tapered plastic anchors, for tile or concrete. A regular drywall screw works well with these anchors. You won't find these in a local store.

The Expandet nylon anchors are pricey so I use them only when I drill a hole that a cheaper anchor doesn't grab (spins in place) or when the screw I want to use doesn't fit exactly the cheap anchor. The shape of the anchor prevents it from spinning in the drilled hole. The anchors come in 4 cubes of 25. Each cube is held together with a plastic band which has two holes to simplify finding the correct diameter drill bit and screw (see pictures). These anchors can also easily be cut to the desired length. The green Expandet anchors are marked for a drill hole of 7mm or 1/4" and for screw number 10 (4.5mm to 5.5mm). It doesn't say on the package or the wrapper where these anchors are made. I gave the product only 4 stars because of the price.

Excellent quality but not many and a little expensive

I use these for Ada grab bars through tile, if GC forget the wood Backer. They work great. Had inspectors tug on them and almost lift himself up without coming loose if installed properly.

A nice price on my favorite anchors. These are great for concrete and brick. With stainless self tapping screws they create a reliable long term fastening.
