Product Review
The TOGGLER SnapSkru SPM Mini self-drilling drywall anchor installs into 3/8"- to 5/8"-thick drywall ceilings and walls without requiring a predrilled hole, and is made in USA. Its corrosion-resistant glass-filled nylon body installs into drywall with a Phillips driver, a hand drill, or a screw gun. The anchor's positive stop mechanism prevents the anchor from being driven too far into the drywall. The anchor accepts #6 to #8 size sheet metal screws with a length equal to the thickness of the item being fastened plus 1". Inserting a screw activates the anchor's jaw, locking the anchor into place and compressing the drywall for a vibration- and shock-resistant hold. The jaws emit a noise when activated, providing audible confirmation that the anchor system has been installed successfully.

Anchors provide reinforcement to a fastener that would otherwise have insufficient hold in substrates such as concrete, brick, stone, drywall, or other materials for a particular application. The fastener may be included with or integrated into the anchor itself, or it may be sold separately. Anchors provide support through various methods, including expansion from within or behind the substrate or even adhesive compounds.
