The Nylon Hammer Drive In Anchor (also known as a “Nail In Anchor” or “Hammer Fix”) is the ultimate time-saving fastener for light to medium-duty repetitive fixing. Unlike traditional wall plugs that require you to insert the plug first and then align the fixture, our Nylon Hammer Drive In Anchor is designed for “Through-Fixing.” You simply drill through your fixture directly into the wall, insert the anchor, and hammer the screw home—reducing installation time by up to 50%.

Product Overview: Each unit consists of a high-grade Polyamide PA6 (Nylon) expansion plug and a zinc-plated carbon steel nail-screw. The Nylon Hammer Drive In Anchor is resistant to rotting, weathering, and extreme temperatures (-40°C to +80°C), making it ideal for installing skirting boards, window frames, and wooden battens.

Engineering Insight: The “Sawtooth” Thread

The magic of the Nylon Hammer Drive In Anchor lies in its screw design. It is not a standard wood screw:

Hammer In: The threads are angled like sawteeth (buttress thread). This allows the nail to slide smoothly into the nylon plug when hit with a hammer, expanding the plug instantly against the hole walls.
Screw Out: Although hammered in, the head features a Pozi (PZ) drive recess. This allows you to unscrew and remove the fastener if needed, just like a regular screw.

For more details on wall plug types, please refer to the Wall plug entry on Wikipedia.

Applications

This is the “go-to” fastener for construction professionals for:

Drywall Track: Rapidly securing metal tracks to concrete floors.
Carpentry: Fixing skirting boards and door frames without countersinking manually.
Electrical: Attaching conduit clips and junction boxes to brick walls.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can I use this in hollow brick?
A: While it works best in solid concrete and stone, the expansion zone is effective in hollow brick if positioned correctly. For heavy loads in hollow materials, consider our Sleeve Anchors.

Q: Why Nylon and not Plastic?
A: Cheap plastic plugs become brittle and snap in cold weather. Our Nylon Hammer Drive In Anchor remains flexible and tough, absorbing impact shocks without cracking.
