they are pretty cool -how much weight do they hold?

concrete, wood, drywall ?!

EDIT:

found the answer 😀

50 lbs in drywall

200 lbs in concrete

not bad at all

I have seen something similar before here is the US. Never tried them. Those could be really useful to keep in the van. Will they be sold under the Powers brand or Dewalt?

oh i thought you started to talk bad/negative about it 😀

dano_ukMember since Dec 2011Mar 14, 2015 4:58 AM CT

I’ve got some of these. So quick to use, great for suspended ceilings and fixing battens to walls.

Poisonfangs85Member since Feb 2015Mar 14, 2015 7:38 AM CT

I always carry a few of these in my fastener box. They work in situations where Tapcons wont.

madman_usMember since Sep 2014Mar 14, 2015 8:27 AM CT

Next time when im at HD i buy a pack

NordrawMember since Dec 2012Mar 14, 2015 1:22 PM CT

I do have a few of those. Just to see how they worked. Never totally trusted them. But they seemed to work for light duty like he said.

Alan mMember since Dec 2014Mar 14, 2015 1:24 PM CT

they look like they go in to easy. I think they would grip better if the drill was smaller

NERemodelingMember since Aug 2014Mar 15, 2015 11:11 AM CT

Im with a lot of the other people on here… ive seen them plenty of time, even been intrigued but have always been skeptical of how well they would actually work.. i guess ill pick up a pack next time im at the depot and give them a try.

regopitMember since Feb 2013Mar 15, 2015 9:12 PM CT

Kenneth DenmarkMember since Jun 2014Apr 9, 2015 4:07 PM CT

Me too, i used a bunch of SPAX self drilling lag screws to fix a bunch of restaurant booths and they’ve held up nicely.

RickyMcGrathMember since Oct 2014Apr 11, 2015 10:13 PM CT

I’ve used them. Haven’t used them in masonry though. I use them in drywall on quick tasks. No anchor needed and self drilling.
