TOGGLER Alligator AF6 Flanged Anchor Made in USA for #6-#12 Screws

Description

Product Overview

The TOGGLER Alligator AF6 flanged anchor is engineered for demanding fastening applications across a wide range of construction and repair projects. Constructed from high‑grade, corrosion‑resistant polypropylene, the anchor offers exceptional durability in both indoor and outdoor environments. Its flanged head provides additional stability during installation, ensuring the anchor remains seated securely whether it is placed into solid substrates such as concrete, brick, or stone, or into hollow walls like drywall. The product dimensions of 0.3 x 3 x 6 inches and a lightweight 0.19‑ounce profile make it easy to handle while delivering impressive tensile strength—up to 69 lb in 1/2″ drywall and 675 lb in 3,500 psi concrete when paired with the included #10 x 1‑1/2″ sheet metal screw. Designed and manufactured in the United States by Mechanical Plastics Corp., the Alligator AF6 meets rigorous quality standards and is backed by a 4.7‑star rating from 83 verified customer reviews.

Usage

This anchor excels in a variety of real‑world scenarios. For residential remodels, it securely holds fixtures such as towel bars, shelving brackets, and light fixtures in drywall or plaster without the risk of pull‑out. In commercial settings, the Alligator AF6 is ideal for mounting equipment, signage, and conduit in concrete or brick walls, providing a reliable anchor point that distributes load evenly across the substrate. The design also accommodates hollow‑wall installations, where the anchor’s jaws expand and lock in place as the screw is driven, making it perfect for installing cabinets, heavy mirrors, or industrial hardware in hollow partitions. Because the anchor is made from non‑metallic polypropylene, it resists corrosion from moisture, chemicals, and temperature fluctuations, ensuring long‑term performance in humid basements, outdoor sheds, and marine environments.

FAQ

What size fasteners can I use with the Alligator AF6 anchor?
