    Secure window frames and doors in walls where your drilling depth is limited. These anchors have similar strengths to double expansion anchors but only need about 75% of the installation depth. All have a sleeve that expands inside your hole to create a strong grip. The sleeve, commonly called a caulking sleeve, also creates a seal to block out air and moisture. Since the gripping force is distributed along the entire length of these anchors, they won’t crack soft materials like block and brick. They’re also known as caulk-in anchors.
    To install, place the anchor into a drilled hole, cone end first. Insert an installation tool (sold separately) into the anchor to expand the sleeve over the cone. Then, position your component, insert a screw or threaded rod, and tighten. All create a permanent female-threaded connection that lets you remove and reinstall a screw or threaded rod. They cannot be used in overhead applications.
    Adjustable-Depth Installation Tools—Use the adjustable stop to set anchors at consistent depths.
    Quick-Set Installation Tools—For high volume tasks, turn with a power drill to speed up repetitive installations.

    Reusable Anchors for Drywall

    Installation

    Tools

    Good for installing signs and other objects you’d like to swap out, these anchors have a bolt that you can repeatedly remove without affecting the anchor. The sleeve expands behind the wall, creating a mushroom-shape grip for a secure hold. Teeth on the flange bite the drywall surface, so the anchor won’t twist when you remove and reinstall the screw. While the bolt can be removed, the anchor itself cannot.
    To install, tap the anchor into a drilled hole until it's flush with your drywall. Then, thread a machine screw through your object and tighten to expand the anchor. For repetitive installations, use the optional installation tool. It inserts the screw and expands the anchor with a single squeeze of the handle, speeding up the setup time.

    Installation

    Tools

    Keep a variety of reusable anchor sizes and lengths on hand for installing signs and other objects you’d like to swap out. All of these anchors have a bolt that you can repeatedly remove without affecting the anchor. The sleeve expands behind the wall, creating a mushroom-shape grip for a secure hold. Teeth on the flange bite the drywall surface, so the anchor won’t twist when you remove and reinstall the screw. While the bolt can be removed, the anchor itself cannot.
    To install, tap or drill the anchor into a drilled hole so it's flush with your drywall. Then, thread a machine screw through your object and tighten to expand the anchor. For repetitive installations, use the optional installation tool. It inserts the screw and expands the anchor with a single squeeze of the handle, speeding up the setup time.
