WingIts RC-MAW35-6 Master Anchor for Drywall Size 6-Pack Color Name: Stainless Steel 6 Unit Count Type: Per Pack

I admit the installation of the first one was a bit confusing. At first, the tip didn’t fit easily into the 3/4” hole I drilled. I eventually pushed it through, but it felt a little iffy, like I was going to damage the wall or the WingIt..I know now to give a slight bit of extra slack when drilling the hole and its not a provenAfter drilling and pushing through for the first time, I started to screw in the screw and was convinced it wasn’t catching the threads- it was turning without any sign of resistance for 30 seconds with my drill. About to give up, it suddenly caught. This is by design- the screw is very long so it takes a bit, but it will eventually draw the wings to the wall. So be patient and don’t screw in by hand unless you have very strong wrists and a lot of time and patienceAfter installing once, it became a breeze, just make sure you have a 1/2” or 3/4” drill bit (depending on which size WingIt you get)The strength is REAL. I used these for mounting hardcover bookshelves and the shelves were held up perfectly stable despite the heavy weight and the weak and relatively thin shelvingThe only unpleasant thing about these (aside from a relatively high price) is the size of the hole you need to drill, which is rather large (1/2” or or 3/4” in diameter)This means lots of dust when drilling the hole. It also means you have to be certain about the location before drilling. The worst case is being off by 1/2”, because you can’t drill another 1/2” or 3/4” hole 1/2” from the center of the previous hole without them becoming one giant hole. Finally, you’ll have some large holes to fill if you ever remove them. Try a wine cork and some spackle

These anchors are as advertised. Just two anchors will hold a lot of weight.

The best wall anchors ever. Highly recommend.

I've used most types of hollow wall anchor on the market and WingIts are probably one of the more difficult to install. They are rated at 300 lbs., but that's in direct shear (i.e. load applied parallel with and flush to the wall). No pull-out rating is stated, but would be much less than 300 lbs. and is the reason they are to be used in vertical walls only and not on ceilings. The instructions state only that "Strength and stability are greatly affected by projection off and length of interaction with the wall surface." These anchors require drilling a 3/4" diameter hole to install. This info takes more research than it should to find. The anchors come in two parts - the winged top and face plate - and include #8 x 3-1/2" long SS screws. The winged top and face plate are "popped" together prior to insertion through the hole. The wings must be compressed by hand to allow partial insertion into the hole and require a lot of force to do so. The instructions say to next "pop" it through the wall. Once through the wall the anchors are loose, to what degree depending on the thickness of the wall. Once popped together, it would be possible, but unlikely, to separate the anchor parts and lose winged top inside the wall. Nevertheless, the winged top slides fairly easily on the face plate and makes stabilizing the anchor in the hole while attaching whatever you plan mount on the wall, well, tricky. This is especially difficult when mounting anything with a blind hole or that projects any distance from the wall. Once installed, the anchors are sturdy enough, but the cost and difficulty of installation make other types of anchors (e.g. toggle bolts or strap toggles) a better choice for anything other than where very high shear loads are involved and anchoring into studs is not possible.

Get the Wingits drillbit. Makes life easy and worth the extra $10. The anchors are amazing. They are frustration free. I used them to hang a towel rack that was pulling out of the wall which some idiot contractor installed using conventional drywall anchors. They are solid but use common sense. Drywall itself isn’t gona support 300lbs for long if at all. It’s tough to drill a 3/4” hole in your drywall, but these are going to do the job so get over it and go for it.

Some background: I just moved into an older home that was built with irregular (at best) stud spacing in the walls. It was not built for 21st century technology, and while TVs have gotten bigger and lighter since the 70s, they go on the wall, now.The expectation: Needing to mount a 65 lb TV on the wall with only one guaranteed stud, I wanted to secure it with a very firm and trusted drywall anchor for the other two bolts. Saw that these were rated up to 300lbs each so-math happening 2 anchors holding 50% of the load would be a little over 11%- well within tolerance. Awesome. Purchased.The reality: Two days later, the WingIts arrived. "WingIt," of course being an idiom for "hastily executed with little to no planning." Product is starting to become more in line with its namesake than description.These plastic anchors have to be "assembled" before they go into a wall. Also beware, they need a 3/4" drill bit. While "assembling" them (which consists of sliding one plastic hexagonal rod into its corresponding plastic sheath) TWO of my six INDESTRUCTIBLE, NEVER HAD A FAILURE EVER, STRONGEST DRYWALL ANCHOR EVER CONCEIVED cracked. The plastic cracked. Who could have seen that coming?The result: As these Wingits couldn't even stand the blistering force that is popping them together, I was not going to trust them to anchor half my TV's weight to the wall. They have been reboxed and the return shipping label is printing as I type.0/10, I am less than thrilled.

Their sturdy application is impressive
