Customer Reviews for Cobra Anchors 3/16 in. x 3 in. Zinc-Plated Driller Toggles (6-Pack)

it is a product that does not work

These work very well and I would have rated excellent, however, if the screw is of the slightest bit and does not line up with the hole, the anchor will not grab appropriately. And then it is very difficult to get out of the wall without damaging the drywall.

Excellent holding great confidence that what is installed will remain in place..

worked great easy install

Out of the 6 that came in the package, one failed immediately while screwing into drywall - the plastic sleeve broke right off. Luckily, I only needed 4 for my project. Once you get it into the wall and the metal parts take over, these work exactly as described.

These use to be my goto about 5 years ago, but now they are a hassle at times. They don't stay in place when trying to tighten, and they miss catching and tightening all the way.

I was using with old-style wall board from the 1950s, which is harder than newer drywall. It's more like cement. Anyway the plastic piece in the anchor broke because it couldn't stand the torque generated when I tried to put in in the wall with a screwdriver. I had to first make a hole with a drill, then the anchor worked.

You would think that drilling these into the wall would be beneficial but it doesn't work out that well so I returned them

I used it on the cement board wall to hang a heavy fireplace mental. Make sure to try to insert the screw in all four directions a few times before it locks the screw and catches the nut.

Anchor threads get stuck upon inserting bolt.

Quite simply, they do not work

It wasn’t too difficult to make a smooth small hole that accepted the Driller Toggle anchor. The anchors self drilled their way into the wall until they were flush. However, I’m not sure the toggle was ever in the right place. The screw (a 3 in #10) seemed to thread in in an orderly fashion but it was impossible to get it tight. It would be mildly snug but any load caused it to loosen up. One worked well, the other worked hard to damage the wall making it impossible to replace with another anchor except maybe a big 1/4 inch toggle bolt since the hole is oversized now. All I wanted was to put up a towel bar. Interior 1/2 in or 5/8 inch drywall should be quick, no? Well, no. The screw seemed to be tightening up properly - and I did it by hand to avoid stresses. As it went for the last turn or two I could see it wasn’t going to be tight. I used a tiny screwdriver to try and coax the toggle into position but no joy. I pretested the threads on a the new anchor after the first one did this putting it in carefully and attempting to get the toggle in the perfect position. Still no success. I had two frustrating hours and can’t recommend this product.

Anchors did not work at all. I put it on/in the drywall and it made a large hole and did not hold the frame in place.

I bought these because they were out of Snap Toggles. Quite surprised that they worked so well. Used them on some handicap bathroom grab bars and they could support my entire 225 lb weight. I’ll be using these again!

Just use 3 to put up a mirror on a bathroom smith and easy to install.

These are absolute trash, only work on ½ inch drywall and break when screwing them in

These toggles can be hard to use, I ruined a few trying to install them. But once installed properly they are strong.

They did not even drill into the drywall, followed the directions, the plastic broke at the metal piece. Tried 2 of them both broke in the same spot.

Expensive pieces of crap, difficult to install, overengineered to the point of uselessness except in a laboratory setup situation. Will be returning as soon as possible.

They have a hard time just screwing through drywall. White Plastic part breaks off before getting through drywsll

These anchors work AWESOME. They take a little bit of work to get them to function properly, but once you figure it out, they really hold. One thing that I would suggest is to purchase additional hex head bolts that match the threads. The anchors come with Philips head screws. The brackets that I used did not not allow enough room to effectively tighten the screws to snug the anchors up to the wall. With the hex head bolts, I could use a wrench to snug up the bolts to hold the bracket tight to the wall.

Perfect for application
