Metallics WAKJ14HB Anchors 1/4 Blu Plas Wall Ancr Kit, 10 (Jar 200)

Plastic expansion anchors like the Metallics 1/4 inch blue anchors are meant for light loads in masonry, block, brick, plaster, and tile, where the anchor body expands against solid material. In hollow drywall they only grip the thin paper face and pull out under load, so for anything with weight on it in sheetrock use a toggle or self-drilling drywall anchor instead.

It is a kit, not loose anchors. The WAKJ14HB is described as a 1/4 inch blue plastic wall anchor kit in 10-count sets, so the screws are packed with the anchors and you do not need to source fasteners separately.

Each jar holds 200 pieces, made up of 10-count wall anchor kits at the 1/4 inch size. That jar quantity is aimed at an electrician or maintenance crew mounting boxes, straps, and device plates repeatedly rather than a one-off repair.

Match the bit to the anchor diameter: a 1/4 inch plastic anchor needs a 1/4 inch hole, drilled with a masonry bit in block, brick, or concrete and taken slightly deeper than the anchor length so the anchor seats flush. Oversizing the hole is the usual reason these spin instead of grip.

Yes, this is an electrical-trade fastener line, catalogued by Metallics for the same work as its other anchors: fastening straps, clamps, small boxes, and device plates to masonry walls. For structural or overhead loads step up to a steel anchor rather than plastic.
