Wensilon(30 PCS) 3/16" * 2-1/4" Slotted Hex Washer Head Concrete Screws Anchor Kit Blue Flat Head for Anchoring to Masonry, Block or Brick Stucco

When I bought these, I didn’t realize it came with the proper size drill bit and driver. These worked great!

I bought these anchors for a project in my basement gym where I was mounting some racking to the wall. I typically use Tapcons for such tasks, but I wanted to give these a try and share my experience. I chose the 1/4'' x 4'' size for this project, as I needed something that could securely hold up some heavy barbell holders.After drilling the holes in the wall with a masonry bit, I found that these anchors performed similarly to Tapcons in terms of holding power. They sunk in well and securely held the weight of 4 - 45lb barbells.While I’m not sure if I’d choose these over Tapcons for securing metal racking to the floor—since I’ve relied on Tapcons for years and trust their durability—I do think these anchors are a great option for smaller projects. They provide a reliable hold and can save you a few dollars in the process.Disclaimer: I am an Amazon Vine Voice, which means I receive products for free in exchange for my honest and unbiased reviews.

I recently ordered the Wensilon Slotted Hex Washer Head Concrete Screws, and overall, I find them to be quite functional and easy to use. However, my past experiences with Chinese-made screws have made me cautious about relying on them for heavy-duty or safety-critical applications. While these screws seem to have good reviews and come with a useful set of tools, including a magnetic driver and the correct masonry drill bit, I would personally only use them for light to medium-duty tasks.The screws have a nice blue finish and seem well-made, with good threading and a strong grip when installed. I tested them by anchoring some outdoor fixtures into stucco, and they held up well. The magnetic driver was especially handy, keeping the screws in place at various angles, which made the installation process smoother.However, for applications where human safety is a concern, like anchoring heavy structures or installations that could pose a risk if they fail, I would still prefer using a more trusted brand like Tapcon. Tapcon screws are made in the USA and have a reputation for reliability in critical applications.In summary, these Wensilon screws are a great value for general use around the house or yard. They seem durable and come with everything needed for installation. But if you're doing any work where failure could result in injury or significant damage, I would recommend sticking with a brand known for safety and strength, like Tapcon. For my purposes, these screws are adequate, but I'd give them 4 stars because of the uncertainty around their performance in more demanding situations.

These concrete screws are much better than deck screws. Hardened and coated.Just holding one screw I can feel its heft is more than a deck screw of the same length. Quite a bit more. The diameter is slightly larger and the metal must be more dense. These are really high quality screws that I am trusting to screw 2x4's into a concrete block wall as shelf supports. These screws inspire confidence that they will not break under strain or work loose. The threads are designed to hold in masonry, no anchor sleeve required. Pre-drilling I expect is necessary for harder masonry materials.Top quality and great quality control earn these screws five stars from me. While $18 currently for 30 four inch screws comes to a pricey 60 cents each, they indeed are superior screws in strength, and perhaps in corrosion resistance as well. They can expedite the process of attaching wood to masonry compared to other methods.

These are an awesome all-around deal. They appear identical to the ones I often purchase at the hardware store- but at a third the price. I love that they included the drill bit needed for these screws, as well as a nut driver. Those two bonuses are extremely useful. If you haven't worked with masonry screws like this before, I suggest using a rotary hammer drill with the included bit- goes in like it was wood. To install the screws a cordless impact driver with the included nut driver will make short work of it.

I used these to install a retractable awning onto a cement block wall. The drill bit worked well with a hammer drill and easily made the pilot hole. I used an impact wrench to install the screws and they went in easily. They are holding it very securely.As a test I screwed a scrap piece of one by three board onto an cement block and then pressed on the end to see if I could pull the screw out of the block by using the board as a lever. The board broke before the screw came out so I am confident in the holding power of these screws.

Took my 14 screws to get 4 in head breaks off

The Wensilon(30 PCS) Slotted Hex Washer Head Concrete Screws have good hold and are super durable. We like them.
