02330 Wall-Dog - 1/4-Inch by 1-1/4-Inch White Pan Head Light Duty Anchor, 100 Per Box

These things are super aggressive and hold tight to the drywall. Be careful not to overtorque!

Where have they been all my life?

Good fasteners

I've hung several items of varying weight in drywall and wood studs using walldogs. The first time I used them (to hang a paper towel holder which weighed all of a couple lb into 1/2" drywall), they not only came out of the drywall, but blew a nice hole in it that I then had to repair. This has happened a couple of other times in 1/2" drywall, seemingly at random. I've switched over to the plastic screw-type anchors for 1/2" applications since I never have any issues with those unless I'm too close to a stud.Where I do still use them with much greater success is in thicker walls, which the plastic screw anchors aren't rated for: I was able to hang a 20 lb mirror and four shelves in double 1/2" drywall using nothing but walldogs, and haven't had a failure.For me, they're a niche product rather than a revolutionary hanging system, but they do have their place.

I hung 6 brackets for 3 shelves with these screws because they were going straight into dry wall. I set the shelves on top of the brackets to screw in and could see them pulling out of the wall already. I set a hand on top of the shelf to test it and the screws failed completely and pulled out of the wall. Might be ok if you’re hanging a lighter picture frame or not into drywall, but then why buy these screws at all? Super disappointed.

I have used dozens of fasteners for over 40 years (I am 60) and have taught classes in the use of wall fasteners as part of a course I designed and taught at three junior colleges in San Diego. The WallDog is an very interesting and unique fastener. It should NOT be used in place of a togggle bolt and it does not have as much holding power as the larger threaded EZ Anchor, however I love it when I need to attach things to drywall for things which do not need the strength of those other anchors but which need a great deal more holding power than just using a drywall screw into drywall only. For example, I just installed a number of 1 x 6 wooden shelves (3 - 4 feet long each) under some of my windows for my cats to sit on. Each shelf was installed on top of two wooden support brackets each of which used 4 screws to attach it to the drywall. With 4 screws in each bracket, the WallDog was more than adequte and a heck of a lot faster than having to use either the EZ anchors and separate screws or toggle bolts, or needing to locate the studs with a stud finder (and they would not have been in the right places anyway). I will be buying another box of 75 of the 1 1/2 inch style that I can only find at Home Depot. Everyone else carries only 1 1/4 inch which is not quite as long as I want to use.I hope Amazon will bring in the 1 1/2 inch model as the extra 1/4 inch can be3 important. I am nor surprised that they were not adequate for the reviewer who9 use them for curtain racks. I never would have assumed that it would be strong enough for that since the angle of stress on the curtain brackets is quite high and the brackets are not large enough for the WallDog to grip drywall in positions far enough aw3ay from one another to give the required holding power

Wall dogs are amazing. Never a huge hole to Spackle if you want to move things. I did this myself and never afraid to move things around. Easy to remove, and holds a heavy load

I used these to hang my mirrors, medicine cabinet, curtain rods, toilet paper holder, towel bar and shelving. I have heavy glass candles on the shelving. These things are great and so easy to use. I am impressed!
