Buying Guide: Screw and Anchor Combinations

Head Styles and Drive
Screw and anchor sets come in pan head, hex head and pan/wafer head styles. Some of these offer versatility with common drive styles, so check the drive type on your driver bit before you start.

Choosing a Size
Available sizes include 3/16 in. diameter with 1-1/2 in. length and 1/4 in. diameter with 1-1/2 in. or 2-1/2 in. length. Measure the hole and the thickness of the material you are fastening into, and match the size on your old part before ordering.

Materials and Uses
The anchors self-drill through drywall and into wood and metal studs. They fasten into concrete, brick, block and plaster when a 3/16 in. hole is pre-drilled, and they are removable and reusable.
