Overview
A 75-pack of Hillman's Borefast self-drilling anchor and screw in one, a black zinc pan head fastener that drives into drywall or wood and metal studs with no pilot hole, and into concrete, brick or plaster once a 3/16 inch hole is started.
Borefast combines the anchor and the screw into a single piece, which is what sets it apart from kits pairing a separate plastic anchor with a screw. It is also removable and reusable, unlike most single-use plastic anchors.
- 75-pack of Hillman Borefast anchor-and-screw
- 1-1/2 inch pan head, black zinc finish
- Rated 50 lbs drywall, 200 lbs wood or masonry
- Self-drills into drywall, wood and metal studs
Who it's for
Homeowners and DIYers who want one fastener that works across drywall, studs and masonry rather than switching anchor types per surface. A good fit for anyone repositioning fixtures over time, since the anchor backs out cleanly.
Pros and cons
- Self-drills into drywall and studs, no pilot hole
- Rated 50 lbs drywall, 200 lbs wood or masonry
- Removable and reusable, not a single-use anchor
- Works with a hand screwdriver, no power tool needed
- Only one pan head size in the pack
- Masonry use still needs a pre-drilled hole
Performance notes
The pan head screw self-drills straight into drywall or a wood or metal stud, its threads cutting their own path so no pilot hole is needed there. For concrete, brick, block or plaster, Hillman calls for a 3/16 inch hole first, since masonry is too hard for the anchor to cut on its own. Because the anchor and screw are one piece, backing it out with a screwdriver removes the whole fastener cleanly for reuse.
