TOGGLER ALLIGATOR AF5 ALL-PURPOSE FLANGED ANCHORS, 20-PACK - #8 x 1-1/4"Versatile dual-action wall anchor that holds securely in both solid and hollow walls. The Toggler Alligator AF5 works in concrete, brick, stone, drywall, and hollow concrete block. A single anchor design covers both wall types: it expands inside the hole in solid materials and locks behind the wall in hollow construction.

How it works: In solid walls the anchor body expands radially to grip the hole. In hollow walls the screw opens the anchor jaws on the back side to lock against the wall material.
Tip: Drill the hole at exactly 3/16" - oversized holes lose grip. Push the anchor in flush with the wall surface (tap with a hammer if needed but keep it straight) before driving the screw, then thread the screw in steadily without overdriving.
