40 lb. Large Orange Vinyl Coated Steel Wall Mount J-Hook

A:  Home Depot should have something similar or better.

A:  Had a similar problem, just used heavy duty wood screws to secure it in a stud.

A:  You can actually get similar or the exact screws at home depot

A:  Currently the screws are not available separately. The closet we carry is Store SKU 237817, Stud Solver #7 x 1-1/4 in. Phillips Zinc-Plated Alloy Flat-Head Anchors with Screws (20-Pack), for Drywall/Stud anchors .

A:  This J-Hook may work for you, it would depend on the diameter of the shaft of the trimmer and the weight of the trimmer. The weight capacity of this J-Hook is 40 lbs.

A:  No, I would l not use this for anything but light objects.

A:  This hook is rated for 40 pounds. If your line trimmer is close to this weight you may want to consider using 2 hooks to distribute the weight.

A:  This hook will hold up to 40 lbs in weight.

A:  Perhaps Use two hooks measuring one at each end of your trimmer.

A:  Please confirm that there is a wood stud behind the drywall in order to support the J-Hook. If there is no stud behind the drywall you will need to use the proper anchor when installing the J-Hook.

A:  It sounds like you are trying to screw into drywall and there is nothing to grab. Try these. https://www.homedepot.com/p/E-Z-Ancor-Twist-N-Lock-75-lb-8-x-1-1-4-in-Philips-Zinc-Plated-Nylon-Flat-Head-Drywall-Anchors-with-Screws-4-Pack-11364/100165900

A:  There could be a multitude of reasons why the supplied screws would not hold. The instructions state that a 1/4" hole should be pre drilled in wood or wallboard. The wallboard may be only 3/8". At any rate it appears that you will have to use toggle bolts (butterflies) in order to install your J-Hooks.

A:  Hammer a nail about a quarter of an inch into the drywall to give a starting point for the screw. Then use some pressure in the screwdriver. If the screw keeps spinning after it is all the way in you have probably stripped the hole. I recommend using a hand screwdriver not a power driver for drywall because it is easy to strip the hole on drywall.

A:  The instructions clearly state that the screws should not be over-tightened. As long as the bracket is flush with the wall and the screws are flush with the bracket (and you stay within the recommended weight limit) you should be fine. I've used 3 different sizes of these hooks, and they work very well.

A:  The two small holes on all of the Tornado products are just shy of 3/16”. You could: - Mark the two holes where they want to place the hook - Pre-drill two holes with a 5/32 MASONARY drill bit and use a 3/16 Tapcon to mount the hook. (Use a 3/16 x 1-14 Philips or hex head.) - May be a little tight, however the screw should go all of the way to the concrete with the hook. - Not probable, but you may have to ream out the hook holes just a tad with a 3/16 metal drill bit before installing. - If it is block, do not install into the mortar section of the concrete block.

A:  Darn! I just reamed the small holes out to 1/4" in the Tornado J-Hooks to accommodate 3/16" Tapcons. I'd bet that the original holes were 3/16". I, also, took a hammer and flattened the spur on the back. They are not need on a hard masonry wall.
