Hot Lee Valley DuoPower Wall Anchors

Typical anchors, especially the cheap ones supplied with products that are meant to be wall-mounted, often don’t work as well as they should. As a much better alternative, these are the best anchors we’ve tested.

For use in hollow or solid wall materials, the two-part construction adapts to voids in a wall by expanding, folding or coiling as a screw is driven through, creating a sturdy anchor with excellent holding power. Made from tough nylon, the anchor won’t collapse when tapped with a hammer, and rigid fins along its length resist twisting once seated.

Available in three diameters, supplied in boxes of 50 with matching flat-head Phillips screws. The 5mm × 25mm anchors come with 35mm (1 3/8″) screws, the 6mm × 30mm anchors come with 40mm (1 1/2″) screws, and the 8mm × 40mm anchors come with 60mm (2 3/8″) screws.

Made in Germany.
