I've never seen these Ankerbolts before. How do they work, and are they any good ?

We're great fans of Ankerbolts because of their ease of use.

'Ankerbolts' or 'Thunderbolts' are self tapping bolts for fixing (in our case) brackets to concrete, brick, block, stone etc. They are an alternative to the more traditional shield anchors or sleeve anchors (commonly known as 'Rawlbolts') From the fixers point of view, the Ankerbolts are far easier to use because you can drill & bolt up one hole at a time. - To fix a three hole bracket using Rawlbolts or Sleeve Anchors, you need to offer the bracket up and accurately mark & drill all three holes first, (hoping the drill doesn't wander) You then need to insert the rawlbolts, offer the bracket up again (assuming all the holes line up) & then bolt it up.

With the Ankerbolts you don't need to mark out all the holes but drill just one hole, and then you can bolt the bracket up. You then drill the next hole (through the bracket hole) in turn & bolt up, therby ensuring the bracket is straight & none of the holes miss.

NOTE: The Anchorbolt is a one piece item (no plastic inserts such as rawlplugs) and the bolt cuts it's own thread into the brick. You must use the appropiate drill size and overdrill the hole to ensure the bolt doesn't 'bottom out' or there is a danger that you can strip the thread by overtightening.
