#8 Self Drilling Drywall Plastic Anchors with Screws - No Pre Drill Hole Preparation Required - 75 Lbs (25 Pack)

I recently purchased the #8 Self Drilling Drywall Plastic Anchors with Screws, and I couldn't be more impressed! These anchors are a game-changer for anyone looking to hang items on drywall without the hassle of pre-drilling holes. From the moment I opened the package, I appreciated the quality of the anchors and screws. They are sturdy and reliable, and the self-drilling feature made installation a breeze. I simply used a screwdriver to drive them into the drywall, and they went in smoothly without any issues. What really stood out to me was their impressive weight capacity of 75 lbs. I was able to hang several items, including a heavy mirror and some shelves, with complete confidence that they would stay securely in place. Overall, these anchors are not only easy to use but also incredibly effective. I will definitely be buying them again for future projects. If you're looking for a reliable solution for hanging items on drywall, I highly recommend these self-drilling anchors!

These are worth the extra money given the headache of the typical anchors that come included with everything and crumble under pressure. These do require some patience and force getting started but cut through easily once you reach the threads. An amazing alternative to drilling.

Easy-to-use, had to use a hole punch, worked as advertised.

I used these to hand my IKEA shelves and they are sturdy. I have unscrewed the screws ( not completely) and the anchor is still flush and stick in the wall. Love that. I have trauma from toggle bolts falling into the wall. It definitely holds 70lbs. Now installation is difficult because using a manual screw I noticed the molding started to strip. I found using an electrical screw is better and stronger short bursts. Overall I recommend for handing shelves and curtain rods and even ikea mirrors, like I did. I don’t hang anything in my house now before using these anchors.

These self-drilling drywall anchors are a total game-changer! No pre-drilling required, which makes hanging shelves, pictures, or organizers super quick and painless. They’re strong, sturdy, and hold up to 75 lbs like a champ. Easy to use and totally reliable…my walls have never been happier!

Hung some very valuable pieces with these . I trusted them and they did not fail .

I purchased these back in 2021 and went through them over 2 years. I live in a small studio condo so I tend to use my wallspace a lot for space-saving purposes including installing cat shelves. These are on the more expensive side compared to other drywall anchors but I have ordered some bulk ones from Amazon and raided Home Depot of all their drywall anchor selections and the wall installations that I have installed with these have outlasted all of them. Other ones have been flimsy and will turn with the screw and the drill head, causing a hole bigger than the anchor on my drywall. I can't tell you how many times I've had to apply bondo to the wall because of this issue. My two 12lb cats and one 10lb cat jump on these cat shelves on a daily basis and my bathroom shelves and mirrors that I've installed using these anchors have far outlasted all the other wall anchors I have used. I highly recommend.

I watched a ton of videos regarding drywall anchors and how they were rated according to strength and stability before purchasing these. Even the metal bolt anchors that are rated for up to 300 lbs and like $50/anchor didn’t do as well in field tests as these much smaller and cost effective self-drilling anchors. I know that these have so many mixed reviews of people either hailing or damming these things, but I learned that the trick is that they aren’t really self-drilling for install if you want them to work. Now, what I mean by that is that you can’t just put this thing up to the wall with your drill/screwdriver and power it through the drywall. That’s how you end up with snapped ones or ones that you get halfway through the wall before the sharp plastic edges are burned down and you have to back it out (although, sometimes that doesn’t work and you end up in a predicament). For these to be used effectively, you need to pre-drill a pilot hole so that the smaller part of the plastic anchor in the front can be inserted fully into the wall before you use an impact drill/screwdriver and a little bit of arm strength to push the anchor while you drill it in slowly. I found that if you try to drill it in too quickly like you would with a normal screw, you will strip the anchor and not be able to back it out of the wall or break the anchor. These are plastic, and can also break easily, so by drilling slowly you can use a pair of needle nose pliers to grip a portion of the broken anchor and turn it counterclockwise to get it out of the wall if the anchor does break. You also need to stop just short of being level to the wall so that you can remove any paint/drywall that builds up around the edges, as it can keep the anchor from leveling on the wall or cause issues if whatever you’re hanging needs to be flush, like shelving. You also don’t want to drive the anchor too far into the wall or you won’t be able to remove it later on without causing some major damage. If you take some extra time with installing these, they work so much better and are so much more cost efficient. It took me a good, hot minute to figure this out with some big mistakes and cursing these damn things more times than I can count, but if you take these pre-installation steps, this is a product that you will keep coming back to and will be a staple in your toolbox.
