WingIts MASTER Wall Anchor, 10-32 x 3-1/2, PK6, Model:RC-MAWSD35-6

For many projects requiring attachment to drywall, toggle (wing) bolts are just fine and maybe cheaper. In my case, I had a project that was fairly heavy that I needed to attach to drywall. Furthermore, I needed to be able to remove the fixture if I needed access to something. Of course, you can remove toggle bolts but the wing nut part of it falls and you have to buy another toggle bolt. These anchors offer the dual features of higher strength and re-usability since nothing falls. The only downside I have found is that you have to drill the large installation hole more or less exactly where you want it. With toggle bolts, you drill a big hole to accommadate the wings, but then you can move the "bolt" part around quite a bit before you tighten. This has not been a problem for me and the bottom line is that you should drill any hole where you want it in the first place. I don't think I'm quite ready to mount something really, really, heavy with these, but, they certainly are a good option if you don't have any other options. The following is a later edit: I haven't had any problems with these anchors, but they do have a limitation - the thickness of the item you're trying to attach to the wall. If you're just attaching a bracket, no problem. But, if the item is thicker than about 1/2 inch, it is more difficult. One would think that the long screws that are supplied would be long enough. However, when you look at how the anchors are made, you wish the screw was even longer. Without actually seeing the anchor, it may be hard to understand how they work. The anchor actually consists of 2 parts, a "winged" part that is behind the wall, and a front part that fits in the 3/4 inch hole. The winged part engages the front part and has a metal, threaded, part that engages the screw. The winged part "attaches" to the front part via a hexagonal shaft and can slide back or forth to accommodate different wall thicknesses. The hexagonal shape is an "anti-rotation" feature that prevents the winged part from turning while you tighten the screw. The problem is that until you actually start the screw, the winged part can, and will, slide as far away from the front part as possible. When this happens, only about 1/2 inch of the screw is visible. I wanted to use these fasteners to secure a sink cabinet to the wall. I didn't need the strength, but I wanted to be able to remove and replace the cabinet if I needed to. The back of the cabinet was 3/4". It was impossible to get the screw started in the anchor so I had to do something else. I tried to buy a longer screw or use a threaded rod but I couldn't find anything locally. If the winged part didn't slide so easily on the hexangonal shaft, it would be possible to mount something thicker. Maybe one could cludge up something to prevent easy movement. All in all, these anchors are pricey but worth it. I just finished installing a fold up ironing board on a wall that didn't have a stud anywhere near where I needed it.

I admit the first use is a little unintuitive, but once you use one or two you’ll get it. Requires a .5” drill bit, pre-drill the hole in the drywall. Widen around the edges a few mm in each direction or you’ll have to fight with them to get them into the hole. Holding about 200 pound book cases, each about 36” wide, using only 3 brackets per-shelf, no sagging or other issues Be aware, when screwing in the screw, you may feel like it it hasn’t caught the thread; be patient, the screw is just VERY ling so you won’t FEEL the grip until quite a bit of screwing. It will then immediately tighten up. Easy to level since they give a little until very deeply screwed in, so great for horizontal mounting of heavy book shelves Downside of course is removal; you’ll have to leave the brace inside the wall (pull out the outer part and let the inner part drop down the wall. Then of course you’ll have patch the big hole. Best for semi-permanent use.

I live in a house where the studs behind the drywalls cannot be detected by any stud finder that I have tried (and I have tried many!) and I want to install shelves on the wall. Without knowledge of where the studs are, my only option is to drill and pray it hits a stud, and if it doesn't, to put an anchor behind it. That's where Wingits comes to the rescue. It is easy to install - just drill the hole, put the anchor in (I used a rubber mallet), and fasten. It is secure - I installed some ikea shelves using this and put some books on top, which are kind of heavy. I was worried at first so I monitor it regularly. It has been half a year and I do not see any issues. However, there are a few things to note, which I hadn't considered before I purchased these. - The anchor itself is very large. It requires a big hole (3/4" to be exact) to be drilled to insert the anchor. The front plate of the anchor is even larger (I don't have the exact measurements. It is probably about 1 inch in diameter). If the device you are installing is not big enough to cover it, you will see the front plate, which is a black round piece of plastic. - A 3/4" drill bit is not close to cheap, which I didn't factor in when I made the purchase. Overall I am happy with this anchor and I would buy again if I have to do similar installations.

I ordered these to replace the molly bolts I'd previously for a shelf holding ~50 lbs. One of the former bolts hadn't spread out correctly, and it pulled out of the wall, leaving a fairly big hole. Not wanting to have to relocate the shelf and the ones above and below, I was looking for a better solution. I found the WingIts perfect for replacing the fasteners on the shelf, and the wide spread of the legs meant I didn't have to move the shelves. They seem to be solid, and I feel much more secure about the new fasteners. That being said - 2 of the 6 anchors were deformed and useless. Unfortunately, I didn't think to take a photo until after the trash went out. The anchors consist of 2 separate, interlocking plastic pieces - a wall plate and the winged part. Two of the wall plates looked like the molding wasn't done correctly, they weren't fully formed, so they were unusable. Basically, 2/3 of the product was fantastic, 1/3 was a waste.

We installed a floating entertainment center and these saved the day. They are so solid and hold a lot of weight. A few years ago, we bought a unit that came with minor parts for anchoring the unit to the wall studs. We were naïve and thought the manufacturer knew the weight and provided the right equipment for the job. The unit and TV fell off the wall within an hour. Not a good experience. We bought these as well as a new tv and haven't had a single issue. The unit is solid on the wall. These anchors are the best and hold a large flat screen tv and an entertainment center solidly. I'd highly trust them and recommend.

This saved my closets and stopped the debate about too many clothes. Followed included instructions and made the repairs. Decided to use them in all of our closets to provide strong support. Have relatives using them now.

These are quite sturdy, but take in to account the size of the insertion hole vs the screw head in regards to what you are mounting. You will need flat and lock/split washers, and realistically I can only see this being useful for brackets, mini server enclosures, or tv mounts.

This earned a review. It’s hands down the best solution I’ve used. It has the best hold by a long shot. Only issue is the large hole you need to make. For me, I had a large hole to begin with, as other, more popular and only modestly easier to use products failed, each one creating a larger hole. This is easily worth the extra money.

They're expensive, but they're awesome! Simple to use, and very sturdy. Little tip: I use a nut to keep the screw protruding out from the wall, so I can hang things off of it.

Excellent! Un peu dispendieux mais vraiment solide

These wingits work wonders when you need something secure in drywall! They can take a lot of weight and are THE solution to securing towel bars or other hanging hooks etc into hollow drywall areas. The only reason I gave 4 stars is they are expensive!

Heavy duty, super easy to use

It works
