It is easy to install and works in both 1/2 in. and 5/8 in. drywall. This means the holding strength of drywall is 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's 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 that WallClaw Anchors retained recommended following ASTM E488 / E488M Standard Test Methods for Strength of Anchors in Concrete Elements as a guide for testing the wall board anchor,s 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.
Do NOT use standard Type A (pointed screw tip) as these screws may result in damage to the anchors 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 values 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.
