It is easy to install and works in both 1/2 in. and 5/8 in. drywall. This means the drywall holds up to 90 lb. in 1/2 in. drywall and 125 lb. in 5/8 in. drywall. No drilling is required, and they remove easily, too. The hole is small, so it is easy to patch over. WallClaw anchors are 2 in. in length.
Independent Construction Materials Testing Laboratory Tested to Industry Lab Standards
Since drywall or wallboard is not a structural material, there are no specific national or international test standards for hollow wall (gypsum board) wall anchors.
The independent construction materials testing laboratory states that WallClaw Anchors retained the following ASTM E488 / E488M Standard Test Methods for Strength of Anchors in Concrete Elements as a guide for testing the wall board anchors, as it is the closest standard that can be applied.
The testing of WallClaw Anchors was done to ASTM E488 standards, as well as other testing and lab standards applied by the independent construction materials test laboratory.
You must use the Type B (flat-tip) screws provided in the anchor package. Do NOT use any other screw
Do NOT use standard Type A (pointed screw tip) as these screws may result in damage to the anchor internal cam (lever arm) and ultimately result in the anchor not clamping to the wall properly, which may result in anchor separation from the wall.
If longer screws are required, a longer Type B (flat tip) screw can be considered, but the user must recognize that the lab-tested load value may not be valid with longer screws, as the anchors were lab tested as packaged with the #8 x 1-1/4 in. Type B (flat tip) screws which are provided in the retail packages.
