TOGGLER Alligator AF8 Flanged Anchor with Screws, Polypropylene, Made in US, for #8 to #14 Fastener Sizes (Pack of 20)

I’m installing a set of tub doors with a standard Delta kit, and it uses Toggler anchors, but not this kind. The kind it uses is really stiff and irritating to use, hard to get into the hole they tell you to drill, and you need a small pin tool to set the anchor, before the screw goes in. Delta neglects to provide that tool or mention this process, so my first attempt at screw placement resulted in a stripped screw head, with it stuck at half in, half out position, unwilling to go further. Not good for a sliding shower door rail. I let out a few choice expletives, had to get a vise grip to twist out the darned screw, and needed a better answer. The provided Toggler anchors from the shower kit don’t have enough of a shoulder to leave space for the thickness of the acrylic walls; not surprising that the screw cried uncle.I have a different style tub door for the other one that needs doing (dream liner), and it had these Toggler Alligator anchors, or some variant thereof, in the package. I haven’t installed that one yet, but if they allow those for the install (and they’re notoriously particular), I have to think that means these will work in the other one, too, so it gave me the courage to order these instead of suffering through the other ones, though I ordered a few of them as a backup (with the pin). The other door kit has a swing door, more torque on the fixation than for slider rails; if the alligator kind is good enough for that, it’s going to be fine for a slider siderail assembly.Bought the 5/16 size to match the holes I’ve already drilled, and they went in easily enough with a rubber mallet; not so easily as to discourage or worry me, but easier than those beastly other kind did, even in the holes I hadn’t used yet. Suddenly, the project that was taking me forever sped along nicely; the rails are up, and feel really solid.A note: these come with #12 screws that are beefy, but didn’t work for my project. The screws that came with the kit were #8, but these anchors say they work with those, too, which is a relief; the 12s didn’t fit through the various accessory bits/bumpers, and they really need to be recessed for the glass doors to slide by uneventfully.These things saved my bacon today. I’m hoarding the rest of them for the next time I have some nutso project where the kit supplied doesn’t work... Delta, I’m looking at you... These have a nice long shoulder that is wide enough to go through tile or through acrylic before the flanges start. It’s a bit scary loose when you put in a #8 at first, but then the bite starts and it’s reassuring. And the rails are solid. I tried to rattle them, but they won’t budge. Now let’s hope the rest of the install goes better; I’m not optimistic, from what I can see so far! But these anchors are really good, so much easier to use than the other kind Toggler makes.

Just as described. Pretty straight forward and have worked for handing items with drywall.

These anchors are well made and hold tight! Unlike cheap anchors that feel flimsy and often break while putting them in, these made in the USA anchors have a nice quality feel to them. I have not had a single one start to bend of break while going in.These particular ones are also beasts! I have them securing a TV wall mount. I was only able to hit a single stud directly in the middle so I used these as added support on all four corners. After months these have no signs of slippage. Pulling on the mount after installation showed no sign of pulling away and was holding fast. I would never suggest using any wall anchor without some kind of stud attachment, however I feel confident in these as secondary wall attachment to ensure a nice tight fit, something I wouldn't do with standard big box store anchors!

Worked exactly as expected. My immediate application was anchor bolts for a flag mounting bracket in limestone. No problems with installation and the flag bracket is now very firmly attached.

Had to use gorilla glue to hold the anchor in place. All it did was turn circles in the plaster. The little flange is so tiny.

The only drywall anchor you should be looking at, Solid and dependable and holds a bunch of weight. Have also used them as concrete anchors and they’re way easier to install than Tapcons and for light jobs I think just as good.

I needed these because I got tired of looking for stuff and didn't have it. If you buy a lot of stuff and have everything on hand, you don't have to run tot he local hardware store 100 times. I have them now, so I don't need them.

I have used these to mount the Craftsman versatrack wall system in my garage. I basically climbed up the tracks like a rock wall and they held me with no issue. Also hung a retractable air hose reel. All of those in cinderblock. Outside I hung a waterhose reel in brick with a 100 foot heavy duty hose, and a whole summer of yanking the hose and rewinding, the anchors are still solid with no give whatsoever. I would recommend using at least #12 hardware.Highly recommended.
