Sammys are awesome
I have use these Sammy’s for decades, and they are excellent! These are a tek point that will drill through at least 1/4 inch steel. What is nice is that they have 1/4-20 threads which allows you to put a nut on them what I needed. This means you could drill through at least three-quarter inch thick steel with a standard drillbit, and then bolt the Sammy into place. Or you could use a pre-drilled hole. My box came with flanged nuts, which was very nice. These have proven very strong for holding all thread and can support a pretty serious amount of weight.

It is a self tapping fastener with no pre-drilling needed, drilling material ranging from 20 gauge to 1/2 inch thick steel. They are heat-treated, steel anchors with a zinc coating for corrosion resistance. The cap is made of 304 stainless steel, which will never rust and features a 1/4-20 x 1 inch length and designed to thread 3/8ths inch allthread rod. These anchors are compliant with NFPA 13 and NEC Standards, safety glasses are recommended when installing, these anchors are not rated for vibratory zones. We use these to hang pipe, conduit and pumps. tanks, compressors, etc. Backup nuts are included to fasten the anchor on both ends and alleviate any worry about loosening fasteners due to vibration or movement.
