Hollow Wall Anchor Kit

Molly screws provide a strong anchor In drywall and generally are superior to screw in wall anchors even the better metal ones. The problem is when you set the Molly screws you tap the rather sharp cleats into the wall setting it flush. This is supposed to anchor it so when you turn the screw It expands the arms of the Molly anchor behind the wallboard and provides a strong anchor. And there is often the problem. Many times I find when you tighten the screw the anchor turns in the hole and either rips loose or fails to tighten and expand properly. Then you have a real problem and end up with a bigger hole in the drywall too big to hold the Molly screw. So this device changes all of that. You use a hammer to set the Molly screw and then the tool pushes the Molly toward the wall as it pulls the strew outwards and expands the arms of the Molly screw. No twisting at all. It's wonderful and overcomes the design flaw of the Molly screw. Well worth the small cost and I highly recommend it. They give you a few of several sizes of Molly screws so be sure to order more of the sizes you need. But this is a great simple tool that really works.

Have had a few of 'cheaper $7' variety setting tools. They would last for about 30 or so anchors, and begin to degraded/ bend. This design is, so far, more durable and easier to use with 1 caveat. The power of leverage is against you when attempting a 'full pull' set. I found it much easier, and even more precise, to keep the handle closer to each other to start. It means more adjustment is needed before anchor is set, but I haven't pulled a single thread out. The cheaper yielded a 20% loss due to screwed up anchor threads, though not sure why unless anvil wasn't lining up correctly. This tool? Perfect size and performance. ~100 anchors set, absolutely no issues. Oh yeah. When you get yours, glue a small magnet inside the handle to hold close-loop out of the way. Otherwise, you will often find yourself trying to squeeze handle but loop is interfering.

Tools fine If you can locate a size chart its an okay kit. You'll be guessing on drill bit sizes to use in this set. No chart is offered & I can't locate size charts online anymore, they used to be everywhere but not anymore it seems? I don't think these anchors are strong at all either. Absolutely no resistance when you squeeze the tool to collapse each one. I used the largest size anchor and a small child can easily collapse these anchors. Its like two fingers easy so' yes I mean these are super soft anchors folks. You good at guessing bit sizes? Just buy the tool not the kit! Don't buy it for the anchors... ---------- --------- -------- Update: 12/19/2023... AAKTOL has reached out after my 2 star review to apologize & supply their size chart. This really helps customers determine the correct drill bit size to mount anchors properly. They added the chart to their listings plus sent it to me in PDF format to save on my phone, I appreciate that! They also offered a set of their anchors free of charge (my choice of size) but I won't be taking them up on their anchors. Their willingness to make things right adding the chart helps out considably. However I hope these anchors are upgraded with stronger metal very soon because Idk if they're fully up to code, maybe? Such a big difference squeezing these compared to brands home stores sell. Maybe the home store anchors are overbuilt idk but I certainly feel better using theirs vs these? In fact I've only used a few of these anchors so far after learning how much softer these anchors are. I'm updating my review by 1 star for the chart now offered & 1 more star for AAKTOL customer service. A true rarity these days, customer service has long disappeared as we all know too well. Thanks for listening to your customers, so much appreciated! Hopefully in the near future your anchors get improved, Ill check back periodically when I need more anchors. Add Heavy Duty anchors to match your Heavy Duty tool for that last star, your tool is very high quality! Thanks for caring enough to send your chart.👍

Great tool to insert and perform initial anchoring of a Molly bolt. No longer having problems with tearing up drywall due to rotation of Molly bolt using only a screwdriver or drill trying to perform initial set. (Note - Be aware that Molly bolts that come with device are metric threads. If you want to use Molly bolts with standard threads, you need to provide your own.)

terrific tour

I bought this set with high hopes that I had discovered the wall anchor to end all wall anchor worries. Alas, I was not just disappointed but down right p%#@&. Out of the 4 wall anchors I placed, only 1 worked. The gun worked as the ad described, but the anchors themselves seemed to be flawed. The screws they came with strip out when you use the gun to collapse the anchor. Once the anchor is even a tad bit collapsed in the drywall you can’t get it out without cutting it out. Very frustrating. Even the one anchor I did manage to make work didn’t seem to give that tight, snug feel to the board. It still wobbled around on the wall. I would not purchase this again. The kit oddly comes with 6 sets of different sized anchors but only 5 of each. I mean, who uses 5? They should let you pick the size you want and give you a bunch of those. I mostly bought this kit for the gun and will buy better anchors from the store. Really bummed and super annoyed. Update: Customer service reached out to see if they could change my opinion. They were super nice and professional. They sent me some new anchors (at no cost) and I tried them out. I still had the same issues with the anchors, but a couple of things changed for me. 1. The customer service really impressed me. 2. I recognized the anchors could be improved a bit by adding a slightly bigger washer. Either way, I bumped up my rating to a 3 star because the customer service was on point. They refunded me for the item and they didn’t have to do that. You don’t see companies stand behind their products like this anymore. Wow!

The tool works great, and they include a nice case as well as quite a few expandable mollies. The instructions need to be better, like most China-made products, but it is easy enough to figure out. You have to screw the screw far enough out, about 3/8' so that the black washer goes behind the pull mechanism. Drill the appropriately sized hole (Their chart uses No. size bits, so use Google and convert to fractions) drill your hole, insert the screw and washer behind the black pull mechanism, insert the mollie fully into the drilled hole, and give it a firm squeeze until the mollie barbed head pulls firmly against the sheetrock or other material. It pulls it down snugly. Great tool.

Very easy to use
