An anchor stud includes a stud portion including a body portion having a first end that extends to a second end though an intermediate portion. A wedge member is operatively coupled to the second end of the stud portion. The wedge member includes a body having a generally frustoconical profile and is formed from a material having a Vickers hardness greater than about 220 HV. A sleeve element is positioned on the stud portion at the second end adjacent the wedge member. The sleeve element is formed from a material having a Vickers hardness greater than about 220 HV.

A wall anchor is provided and includes a nose cone structure including a body and a primary cone, which is rotatably coupled to the body and manually urgeable to penetrate a substrate, a detent assembly, disposed on the nose cone structure, which is engageable to maintain the primary cone in a first position and a trigger integrally coupled to the nose cone structure and actuatable to selectively disengage the detent assembly such that the primary cone is permissively rotatable about the body into a second position.

An anchor stud includes a stud portion including a body portion having a first end that extends to a second end though an intermediate portion. A wedge member is operatively coupled to the second end of the stud portion. The wedge member includes a body having a generally frustoconical profile and is formed from a material having a Vickers hardness of between about 218 HV and about 290 HV. A sleeve element is positioned on the stud portion at the second end adjacent the wedge member. The sleeve element is formed from a material having a Vickers hardness of between about 218 HV and about 290 HV.

A screw anchor includes a body having a head end that extends to a tip end through an intermediate portion defining an axis of the screw anchor, and a plurality of threads extending along the intermediate portion. Each of the plurality of threads includes a head side surface having a first angle relative to an axis perpendicular to the axis of the screw, and a tip side surface having a second angle relative to the axis perpendicular to the axis of the screw. The first angle is between about 30&#xb0; and about 40&#xb0;, and the second angle is between about 15&#xb0; and about 25&#xb0;.

Concrete and masonry screw anchor

A setting tool arrangement includes a stock of a setting tool having one or more sleeve stops. A barrel of a setting tool is slidably receivable in the stock. A sleeve is interactive with the barrel to move to a position allowing the barrel to move when pointed in a direction opposite the direction of gravity and to a position of interference with the one or more sleeve stops thus preventing the barrel from moving when pointed in a direction approximating the direction of gravity.

Setting tool arrangement

A wall anchor system includes an anchor member installable into a hollow wall. The anchor member includes a body having a first end that extends to a second end through an intermediate portion. The body includes an internal passage having a fastener retaining feature provided adjacent the first end. A fastener member is operatively engageable with the anchor member.

Wall anchor system

An adjustable wall hanger includes a body including an outer edge that defines a web. An adjustment feature is formed in the web. The adjustment feature includes a plurality of adjustment zones that define a corresponding plurality of orientation positions for the body. The adjustable wall hanger being selectively positionable to support an object on a wall in one of the plurality of orientation positions.

Adjustable wall hanger

An anchor bolt for use in a hole in a base material is provided and includes a stud, a sleeve disposed about the stud and a retainer nut, disposed in operable communication with the stud and having a dimension measured from a central axis of the hole that is at least as large as a corresponding dimension of the hole.
