ALLIGATOR® All-Purpose Anchor

Stock: 192+ Left

$22.99

Description

ALLIGATOR anchors are designed to hold high loads in solid walls, ceilings, and floors ... but also hold securely when they encounter an unexpected cavity, such as in hollow brick or hollow block, or even in drywall or, especially, in tile over drywall. The specially formulated polypropylene body flows into and locks up with any undercuts in the hole, bonding the screw to the wall and sealing the hole to prevent moisture from entering. Optimal holding values [measured in tons] are obtained in highly dense substrates by using a screw diameter and a drill diameter of the same size as the anchor diameter. The anchor is available both unflanged for push through mounting and with a flange for use where a cavity is anticipated (drywall, hollow brick, etc.).

Materials / Finishes

Specially formulated, inert grade of self-lubricating, translucent, non-corrodible polypropylene

Accepts greatest range of screw sizes in each anchor

Best anchor for concrete

I’ve been using your anchor for five years now and I’ve never experienced a call back.

Best anchor hands down

I have been using your snap toggle anchors for five years now and they are the absolute best. I love the ease of installation and the holding power for grab bars. I have completed over 2500 work orders and use either your snap toggles or your plastic togglers. Thanks for the great products

The Best

You'll never use others.

Snap toggle

I use your snap toggles almost daily. I’ve been using them about 5 years. They are absolutely the best for holding power and ease of installation.

I love them. They never push through. They are water tight.

my “ Go to” anchors

I have used these in my work for over 20. They grip so well, I have snapped the heads off 5/16 lags. Make sure to put a release agent on the screws if the installation involves removing fasteners and re installing! Had tech questions (use in salt water) that were answered promptly.
