Anchor Gun Metal Setting Tool

This is a better way to secure hollow wall anchors to drywall and hollow doors. Not all anchors have points to bite into the wall/door. And even the ones that do can slip. This tool works much better to secure the anchor to the door/wall.

Have hard plastic cover on my truck - its hinge system was pop rivetted onto the cover -- Yeah that didn't work for me...So when I decided to make it better - I sanded cover smooth - dialed in the lines of the cover to be laser straight and removed the pop rivets. Tried RivNuts but they didn't get a good solid bite on the mounting area. So I found these. They locked in to tight it trued up the way the thing shuts enough that I also went to Actuator rods rather than pneumatic ones - Paint is going on now - Black Ice Pearl to match rest of truck....Love This!!!!Two Thumbs Up - STRONG Recommend Buy!!!!

I’m doing the finishing touches on a new, 3,000 SF home. LOTS of bathroom mirrors, towel bars, toilet paper holders, bathrobe hooks, medicine cabinets and other things to hang. I’ve been using “Moly screws/bolts” for decades and have dealt with the usual frustration of getting them to stop turning and cinch up/grip the drywall/paneling. I’ve used flat electricians’ strippers and needle-nosed pliers to hold the d**ned things while turning the screw which sometimes work, but what a PAIN, there HAS to be a better WAY! (says the man in the commercial I’m seeing in my mind’s eye).I’ve been doing it wrong all this time.I saw this tool listed while looking for hollow door molly bolts and thought “well, that’s clever.”Tell me, have these been available long?I think it was about $16 delivered and not a moment too soon.I practiced with 1/4 inch masonite panel and drywall/sheetrock scraps a couple times and just went to town.Hint: if you have a reliable way of finding the studs (magnets and a level can work, I use a stud-finder), and a convertible slot-blade/phillips screwdriver, the one with the double-ended bits at either end, these are ideal for poking/drilling holes in drywall first with the +1 size Phillips then the +2 size to enlarge so the roughly 1/4” Molly screw can get pushed into the wall. No drilling, much less dust/mess.If you OVERDO it, or apply uneven pressure it’s a little hard to get the screws back in as the nut inside will get cockeyed so practice first. Back the screw out a little, just enough to get the head and washer into the tool then twist the molly screw to cinch down against the face of the tool and insert into the wall. Squeeze gently, then a touch more and VIOLINS! Um, voila. Choruses of Heavenly angels singing on high.Hallelujah.No photos, if you’re thinking about this, you’ve probably been there, done that, pics unneeded.

Works perfectly. Solid tool for my application. Very happy with purchase

How did I even hang thing in sheet rock before I got this thing. A must have! Works just as needed

Idea is good but not fully evaluated product due to the limited selection of the Jack nut - I believe that (jack nut) is the main usage. Unless discard my comments.I have use full strength to pull handle for 8-32 jack. Even 6-32 requires a lot of force. Then the nut slides when it is compressed.Requires: 1). Booster force to ease pull handle 2). Jack nut seating needs to be improve.

Great, cheap Rivnut and drywall alternative. Excellent for putting brackets and shelves on IKEA Furneture.

I used these anchors to mount a spice rack, paper towel holder, and 2 towel bars in a travel trailer. The walls are approximately 1/8" thick and traditional plastic hollow wall anchors don't have enough wall to mount properly. These were very easy to install and installed tightly to the wall.
