Instructions are not accurate.

These are not good for sand stone steps had to use different nuts the bolts keep turning in the stone because of the nylon on the nuts.

Don't Work

Anchors don't hold.

The instruction suck

They suck. Worst thing I ever used. Did not secure anything.

JUNK

[Rewarded Review] Use the correct size concrete drill bit and measur

I used these to mount a railing on a front porch worked excellent. With the lock nut there was no need for unsightly washers.

[Rewarded Review] Got the job done

It got the job done , worked for what I needed……….

[Rewarded Review] Correct item

A must have to anchor anything into concrete. Easy to use and install.

[Rewarded Review] For decorating only

It's ok for decorating but not for any kind of support. Be careful not to wobble when drilling a 1/4" hole.

[Rewarded Review] good to go anchors

Easy to install, just drill a hole and ratchet them in. The pressure holds items pretty well.

[Rewarded Review] Don't work well.

These anchors did not work well. Would pull half to three quarters back out or not hold at all.

[Rewarded Review] Work well with the Gilpin iron railings.

These anchors work fine. I would recommend using standard nuts rather than the lock nuts that come with the anchors as they don't seem to make the anchor expand and tighten down.

[Rewarded Review] Easy to install and use

Easy to install and works as should easy to install once hole drilled

[Rewarded Review] Would buy again

A little hard to work with but it worked overall. Would buy again!

[Rewarded Review] Good hardware

Amazing jobbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb

Horrible Product

Followed the instructions to the letter and when I went tighten them down the screw just spun inside the hole. Next pack I tried drilling 1/2" less and tried seating them a little better with 2-3 taps with a hammer and the bolt bent way too easily. Ended up using Red Head 3/8"anchors and that got the job done.

[Rewarded Review] Drill depth

The hole depth needs to be shorter than the anchor Need to drill hole short

Don't buy!

I have worked with concrete anchors before and these are total junk. Had to rip them out and discarded the ones I hadn't installed. They just don't grip .

Do not work.

I followed the directions. drilled the hole, put on the nut, pressed through the baseplate.. it just spins. even when I splayed the flange.. it would not catch.. just spins and spins.

Useless

I just custom built railings with anchors this Spring and had no problems with a different brand's anchors. However, this time, I bought Gilpin's, followed the directions, and drilled 1/4 inch holes before "driving" them in way too easily with my fingers. Seven out of eight anchors didnt grab with all seven just spinning without any grab. The eighth anchor seems to have tightened slightly but I'm afraid to try to tighen it very much. What an annoying headache.

Anchor failure

The product did NOT hold in the concrete as is to be expected. Although I followed the instructions closely, 1/3 of the anchors did not tighten in the concrete. When I turned the bolt at the top, the whole anchor revolved, not allowing me to make the flange secure. Poorly designed.
