The Simpson Sure Wall Die-Cast Zinc Drywall Anchor by Simpson is a self-drilling mechanical anchor built to deliver greater holding capacity than screws alone in gypsum board drywall and plaster applications. Its sharp tip allows easy penetration into the wall surface using only a screwdriver - no pre-drilling required - while screw-like threading grips the drywall firmly as the anchor twists into place, creating a secure and reliable fastening solution for a wide range of hanging and mounting tasks.

Key Features

• Self-drilling sharp point - installs with only a screwdriver and no pre-drilling, saving time and eliminating the need for extra tools
• Screw-like threading - grips the drywall as it twists into place, providing greater holding capacity than screws driven directly into the wall
• Suitable for gypsum board drywall - purpose-built for the material most commonly found in residential and commercial interior walls
• Easy to remove and reinstall - allows for repositioning or adjustments after initial installation without damaging the surrounding wall surface
• Die-cast zinc construction - offers durability and strength appropriate for demanding mechanical anchor applications
• Screws included - comes packaged with the matching #8 x 1 1/4 in. screws so the installation is ready to go right out of the box

Why This Product

• No drill needed - the self-drilling design with a sharp tip means any installer can drive this anchor using only a screwdriver, making it practical for quick repairs, light commercial work, and everyday hanging tasks alike
• Stronger hold than screws alone - the threaded anchor body engages the drywall directly, distributing load more effectively and reducing the risk of pull-through compared to a screw driven without an anchor
• Flexible and reusable - the ability to remove and reinstall the anchor makes it a forgiving choice when exact placement matters or when mounted items need to be relocated
