TOGGLER Alligator AF8 Flanged Anchor, Polypropylene, Made in US, for #8 to #14 Fastener Sizes (Pack of 100)

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.

In 40 years of working in the trades, these are the best wall anchors I have ever used. Get some in each size and throw away the rest of the little plastic aggravations in a pouch. These work beautifully in everything from drywall to concrete.

When I say absolutely great. It goes through the walls like butter! What a great investment to have! You won’t be disappointed!

I have plaster walls. These anchos are very easy to insert into the wall and because they have tiny “fins” at the open end they hold in the plaster so that they do not spin as you set a screw in them. Plus the alligator design allows you to use any length screw. ( I have tried the “screw” type anchors (both plastic and metal) and neither works consistently well in my plaster.). Would recommend for plaster walls.

These by far are the best anchors that you can use in concrete for mounting cameras, metal raceway and even the garden hose reel that I mounted to the brick on my house. The typical "blues and screw" will not hold like these. I have been doing control work for a little over 30 years and these by far are the best. The AF6's work great in sheet rock. as long as you drill the right size hole, they will not twist when you start to tighten the screw.

I use them mostly on masonry projects and very pleased with the results.

There are simply no better anchors than these. I originally bought Tapcon concrete screws to mount many things in my cinder block garage, including a lumber rack. I installed the screws as instructed and they never really tightened down and felt wiggly so i attempted to put some weight on them and they stripped right out!So my search began for a stronger fitting and i found these alligator anchors. Installed as instructed and they feel like they would rip the cinderblock out of the wall before they came out. I re-installed my lumber rack with them and did pullups on it just to test it. Im 170lbs and it didnt budge at all. Its now holding 500lbs of lumber with no signs of budging or giving out in any way. These are the best and I will be a lifetime user for any of my anchor needs.

0 stars. got 100 nylon fasteners and ZERO SCREWS...which is not only terribly inconvenient but renders them virtually useless because you must have the correct screws for them to work correctly. nowhere in the ad did it say no screws...
